The Diatom Wiki

This site is the current home of the diatom wiki, meant to be a scientific resource for diatomists. Planned content includes an array of useful scientific information, including taxonomic, ecologic, and stratigraphic data about diatoms, as well as biographical information on diatomists, useful references, diatom terminology, and other educational tools.

Diatom Terminology The diatom terminology section now has more than 500 defined terms covering common jargon used to describe diatom valve features, morphology, ecology, and taxonomy. Taxonomic Information Section We are currently populating the descriptions of genera. Use the wiki menu (left) to quickly browse to a specific taxonomic level.

This site is continually under development, so if you are interested in helping out or have questions about the content/usage, contact Dr. Jeffery R. Stone.
