Aim Biogeographers have believed for a long time that the geographical distributions of
protists are only determined by environmental conditions, because dispersal is not limited …

Small lakes are among the most threatened ecosystems in the world. Their protection is of
crucial importance since they support an unusually high biodiversity relative to their size …

We describe a new species of Discostella from Guiyang based on light and scanning
electron microscopic observations, as well as molecular analysis. This species is …

Recent research on diatom metacommunities has focused on disentangling the assembly
mechanisms driving species and functional composition and biodiversity across space and …

Diatoms (Bacillariophyta) are unicellular eukaryotic algae that contribute largely to the
