The bulk of the time was spent combining fossil information about diatoms with the newly sequenced transcriptomes (the genes expressed by an organism) from 181 different diatoms to reconstruct the ...

Measurements of 17O/16O in silica (SiO₂), when paired with 18O/16O, provide an opportunity to further constrain the environmental conditions at the time of mineral precipitation and ripening. On ...

We examine diatoms via research-grade microscopes. Our lab also houses several thousand glass microslides and archived material, primarily from arctic, alpine and Antarctic lakes and streams. Our work ...

Diatom surprise could rewrite the global carbon cycle Date: July 17, 2024 Source: University of California - San Diego Summary: When it comes to diatoms that live in the ocean, new research ...

Geologic Time is a crucial concept to understanding the history of the earth—including the evolution of life. Many different representations of the timeline have been created, and many approaches ...

You'll consume about 2 liters (just over a half gallon) of oxygen in the time it takes you to read this post. About 20 percent of that oxygen comes from photosynthesis by marine diatoms — the ...

A simple single-celled marine organism, known as a diatom, has an enormous impact on our atmosphere and oceans, and without these chlorophyll- producing organisms classified as phytoplankton, life ...
