This article reviews current knowledge of wall morphogenesis in pennate diatoms in relation
to the way characters are defined and described for taxonomic and systematic analyses. It …

Variation of frustular morphology within the Achnanthidium minutissimum (Kütz.) Czarn.
species complex was studied in type populations of 12 described taxa and in 30 recent …

In order to evaluate simply the Japanese-type river water quality, a practicable method using
differentiating diatom groups is proposed. Japanese rivers are generally shorter, shallower …

The history and characteristics of the genus Craticula are reviewed, to justify its separation
from Navicula and from the Naviculaceae. Members of the genus have previously been put …

The present work is an attempt to summarize, systematize, supplement and clarify the terms
used in morphological description of diatoms and their taxonomy (systematics). Two …

Diatoms of the Achnanthidium minutissimum species complex are widely distributed taxa
believed to occur in different freshwater habitats from unpolluted oligotrophic to highly …

Background and aims–We examine the possibility of the independent evolution of the same
features multiple times across the pennate diatom tree of life. Methods and key results …

The relationships between 49 naviculoid diatoms, currently arranged in 14 families and four
orders were investigated using cladistic analysis in order to test the types of characters used …

The focus of this paper is the sexual reproduction and phylogeny of Schizostauron Grunow,
which were studied using clonal cultures isolated from the Indian Ocean coast of …
