Protists dominate eukaryotic diversity and play key functional roles in all ecosystems,
particularly by catalyzing carbon and nutrient cycling. To date, however, a comparative …

Given the problems of species delimitation in algae using morphology or sexual
compatibility, molecular data are becoming the standard for delimiting species and testing …

regional and local differences in environment (temperature and water clarity) in driving the …

The diversity of symbiotic dinoflagellates (Symbiodinium) in pocilloporid corals originating
from various reef habitats surrounding Heron Island, southern Great Barrier Reef, was …

Studies of cell division in organisms derived from secondary endosymbiosis such as
diatoms have revealed that the mechanisms are far from those found in more conventional …

Diatom cultures of the G. parvulum species complex were established from seven different
sites in the Faroe Islands, Sweden, Germany, Mexico and Korea, and were studied in detail …

This study seeks to determine the phylogenetic position of the diatom genus Rhoicosphenia.
Currently, four hypotheses based on the morphology of the siliceous valve and its various …

Diatoms form an enormous group of photoautotrophic micro-eukaryotes and play a crucial
role in marine ecology. In this study, we evaluated typical genes to determine whether they …

Diatom species of the genus Skeletonema are dominant in global coastal waters with
important roles in marine primary production and global biogeochemical cycling. Many …
