Diatom Of The Month
Antarctic diatom growth in a light- and iron-limited environment
Phytoplankton are the primary producers in marine and freshwaters and key components of ecological food webs. Their growth is often shaped by the presence of important resources, such as light, nutrients (trace metals and macronutrients such as nitrogen and silica) and an organism’s optimal growth temperature. In certain regions of the ocean, phytoplankton productivity is […]
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
