Dynamic diatom response to changing climate 0–1.2 Ma at Lake El'gygytgyn, Far East Russian Arctic [PDF]
Climate of the Past, 2013 The Lake El'gygytgyn sediment record contains an abundant diatom flora through most intervals of the lake's history, providing a means to create and test hypotheses concerning the lake's response to changing climates.

Inclusion of photoautotrophic cultivated diatom biomass in salmon feed can deter lice.
PLoS ONE, 2021 The aim of this study was to evaluate the potential of diatom (microalgae) biomass as a lice-reducing ingredient in salmon feed. The original hypothesis was based on the fact that polyunsaturated aldehydes (PUAs), e.g.

Integrative effects of morphology, silicification, and light on diatom vertical movements
Frontiers in Plant Science, 2023 Diatoms represent the most abundant and diversified class of primary producers in present oceans; their distinctive trait is the ability to incorporate silicic acid in a silica outer shell called frustule.

Phylogenetic analysis and a review of the history of the accidental phytoplankter, Phaeodactylum tricornutum Bohlin (Bacillariophyta). [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2018 The diatom Phaeodactylum tricornutum has been used as a model for cell biologists and ecologists for over a century. We have incorporated several new raphid pennates into a three gene phylogenetic dataset (SSU, rbcL, psbC), and recover Gomphonemopsis sp.

Diversity of Diatom Communities in Delaware Tidal Wetland and Their Relationship to Water Quality
Frontiers in Environmental Science, 2018 Diatoms are strongly influenced by water quality and serve as indicators of water quality degradation in freshwater systems. Here, sediment and water samples were collected from four sites in Blackbird Creek, DE, a salt marsh characterized as mostly ...

Sensitivity of freshwater periphytic diatoms to agricultural herbicides [PDF]
, 2009 The biomonitoring of pesticide pollution in streams and rivers using algae such as diatoms remains difficult. The responses of diatomcommunities to toxic stress in streamwater are disturbed by the variations of environmental parameters.

Reconstruction of Holocene sea-levels using diatom- and pollen-based microfossil transfer functions, west coast of Scotland, UK [PDF]
, 2007 Due to its sensitivity to isostatic and eustatic sea-level change the west coast of Scotland has been an important area for studying sea-level change. Recently, data from north west Scotland have been used to refine GIA models because of the presence of ...

Factors influencing the stable carbon isotopic composition of suspended and sinking organic matter in the coastal Antarctic sea ice environment [PDF]
, 2011 A high resolution time-series analysis of stable carbon isotopic signatures in particulate organic carbon (δ13CPOC) and associated biogeochemical parameters in sea ice and surface waters provides an insight into the factors affecting δ13CPOC in the ...
