Abstract
Regions with high levels of biodiversity, which mostly correspond to tropical regions, can be treated as treasuries of endemism, even for single-celled life forms. Learning about these areas, and the species present in them, is key to understanding the processes that govern their emergence and sustainability. This paper is a contribution towards revealing the biodiversity of marine benthic diatom species of the world. The samples used in this paper were taken from East Java (Indonesia), Nosy Be (north-west Madagascar) and the Tagus River estuary (Portugal). We describe a new diatom genus, Catenulopsis, and propose the first species of the genus from Nosy Be, named Catenulopsis catenulafalsa. We also describe two new Catenula species, one from Java (Catenula javanica) and the other from Portugal (Catenula brotasiae). The paper also discusses the characteristics of Catenula adhaerens and variations in the species across geographic space. We characterize the morphological variation of C. adhaerens in samples from equatorial West Africa, South Africa, Portugal, Japan, Madagascar and Indonesia.
期刊介绍:
Diatom Research is the journal of the International Society for Diatom Research. The journal is published quarterly, in March, June, September and December, and welcomes manuscripts on any aspect of diatom biology.
In addition to full-length papers, short notes and reviews of recent literature are published which need not contain all the sections required for full-length papers; we see these as being necessary to record information which is of interest but which cannot be followed up in detail. Discursive “Opinion” papers are encouraged which would not necessarily follow the normal lay-out. If extremely long papers are to be offered, the author(s) should contact the editors first to discuss any problems. Book reviews, obituaries and meeting reports can be published. All papers will be subject to critical review by the editors and referees, as appropriate to their content. Papers will be accepted in English only.
