Cavinula lilandae (Bacillariophyta), a new diatom species from the Congo Basin, Central Africa
(Taylor & Francis, 2013)
Cavinula lilandae, a small new diatom from the Congo Basin in Central Africa, was observed in acid riverine habitats in an almost pristine tropical rain forest. It occurred in a periphytic diatom community dominated by ...
New and interesting Surirella taxa (Surirellaceae, Bacillariophyta) from the Congo Basin (DR Congo)
(Museum Natl Histoire Naturelle, 2015)
Two new diatom taxa belonging to the genus Surirella, S. ebalensis and S. congolensis, are
described from material of the Congo Basin, downstream Kisangani, DR Congo. The first taxon is a
small, rather common species in ...
A re-examination of the type material of Entomoneis paludosa (W Smith) Reimer and its morphology and distribution in African waters
(Czech Phycological Soc, 2015)
The current study aims to enhance the understanding of the distribution and morphology of the diatom Entomoneis paludosa W Smith 1853 in African waters. The type material of Entomoneis paludosa (W Smith) Reimer was examined ...
Two new species of Nitzschia (Bacillariophyceae) from freshwater environs of Lonar Crater Lake, India
(Wiley, 2015)
Diatom taxa in India were first documented by Ehrenberg and
subsequently many studies have focused on the Western
Ghats and Himalayan mountains while other regional
environments were rarely explored. In the current ...
Diatom teratologies as biomarkers of contamination: are all deformities ecologically meaningful?
(Elsevier, 2017)
Contaminant-related stress on aquatic biota is difficult to assess when lethal impacts are not observed. Diatoms, by displaying deformities (teratologies) in their valves, have the potential to reflect sub-lethal responses ...
Zooplankton and diatoms of temporary and permanent freshwater pans in the Mpumalanga Highveld region, South Africa
(Taylor & Francis, 2014)
This paper provides a description of the zooplankton and epiphytic diatom communities of permanent and temporary freshwater pans in the Mpumalanga Highveld region of South Africa. Few studies have investigated the biota ...
New and interesting Eunotia (Bacillariophya) taxa from the Democratic Republic of the Congo, tropical central Africa
(Royal Botanical Society of Belgium and the Botanic Garden Meise, 2016)
Background and aims – Large-celled Eunotia species from tropical central Africa are documented in order to define morphological variation within species and to describe new or poorly documented taxa.
Methods – Samples ...
Reinvestigation of African Surirella taxa (Bacillariophyta) described by B.J. Cholnoky with some remarks on digitization of diatom types
(Czech Phycological Society, 2017)
Cholnoky described several new Surirella taxa from Africa and we have re-investigated this material. As many other of his contemporary authors, especially in the case of description of new African diatoms, Cholnoky did not ...
Diatom types of R.E.M. Archibald from Lake Sibaya and Lake Nhlange, South Africa
(Taylor & Francis, 2020)
Natural lakes are rarely found in South Africa and are usually restricted to coastal regions. One of the larger coastal lakes is Lake Sibaya, which is situated in North-Eastern Kwa-Zulu Natal, a subtropical summer rainfall ...

(Magnolia Press, 2016)
Gomphonema grande sp. nov. is described from a single sample collected from the Congo River Basin, Tropical Africa. The morphological features of the new species are described and documented through light microscopy and ...
