Standing on the shoulders of giants
Marine megafauna are an evolutionary playground for diatoms.
Read about groups that have joined together to produce taxon pages on a regional or global topic. Be inspired by young diatomists and their accomplishments. Learn how these microscopic organisms are connected to ecology, paleolimnology, assessment, biodiversity and environmental change.
