Spatial autocorrelation and dispersal limitation in freshwater organisms
Dispersal can limit the ranges of species and the diversity of communities. Despite its
importance, little is known about its role in freshwater habitats and its relation to habitat type …

An assessment of potential diatom “barcode” genes (cox1, rbcL, 18S and ITS rDNA) and their effectiveness in determining relationships in Sellaphora (Bacillariophyta)
Due to limited morphological differentiation, diatoms can be very difficult to identify and
cryptic speciation is widespread. There is a need for a narrower species concept if …

The diversity and distribution of diatoms: from cosmopolitanism to narrow endemism
P Vanormelingen, E Verleyen, W Vyverman - Protist diversity and …, 2009 - Springer
It has been claimed that microbial taxa will not exhibit endemism because their enormous
populations remove dispersal as an effective constraint on geographical range. Here we …
