Towards biomonitoring 2.0: Comments on the applicability of diatom DNA metabarcoding in Mediterranean rivers
The difficulties in identifying diatoms based on their morphology have led to the pursuit of new methods that might make diatomists’ lives much easier. One of these methods is DNA metabarcoding of environmental samples and it is based on the identification of species through a short DNA region, coupled with high-throughput sequencing technology (HTS)—a method […]
The International Society for Diatom Research (ISDR) promotes the study of marine, freshwater, modern and fossil diatoms across the wide range of disciplines of biology, geology, paleoecology, cell metabolism, cell biology, metabolomics, nanotechnology, forensics, systematics, nomenclature, taxonomy, and biogeochemistry. Our society represents investigators from all nations.
We:
- hold biennial, international conferences
- support young scientists
- offer travel funding to attend conferences
- publish an international journal, Diatom Research
- connect people around world to the amazing roles of diatoms
