Water physical and chemical properties override urbanization in shaping diatom taxonomic and functional diversity in urban ponds Urban ponds are increasingly exposed to both local environmental changes and regional urbanization pressures, which threaten aquatic biodiversity, making it urgent to understand drivers of freshwater....

Our paper on how #WaterQuality affects #diatom #diversity in #urban #ponds is out! Incorporating #taxonomic and #functional diversity into #biomonitoring improves detection of ecological risks.

🥳 Excited to share our #diatom work out in @pnas.org. In a great collaboration with @nic-poulsen.bsky.social and @ulrichschwarz.bsky.social we show that diatoms modulate the curvature of their paths by dynamic switching of their cell–substrate contact sites.

The Diatom Sex Clock and Its Evolutionary Significance on JSTOR William M. Lewis, Jr., The Diatom Sex Clock and Its Evolutionary Significance, The American Naturalist, Vol. 123, No. 1 (Jan., 1984), pp. 73-80

Somehow this paper has been largely ignored, but the basic idea has been presented by others as novel, or the idea gets misattributed to someone else. If you're interested in #diatom sex and its evolutionary importance, read and cite this paper.

`In this study, Thalassiosira weissflogii was transformed into biohybrid microrobots (Mag-Diatoms) while retaining its natural chlorophyll, thereby enabling Mag-Diatom-mediated photodynamic therapy (PDT) without additional drug modification.`

Alach has no real model to reference, and the shader used on them is particularly strange, but I think I got the vibe the best I could through my Blender recreation. Lucid Blocks uses procedural animation for a couple mobs that is really quite something special, and the vibes you get off these things is incredible and scary as hell. The dev is looking to include an arachnophobia mode soon, which might make them even more abstract...

Some years ago I was totally crazy for this images that are just 4x5 paper negative of diatoms taken at the microscope. Very few people do or know how to do such kind of things in the digital age.

For all you #diatom nerds out there - really cool new phyologeny paper, marking another shift away from taxonomic classifications based solely on interpretations of their feature-rich, silica cell walls.

Excited to be attending the 2025 British Diatom Meeting in Bristol this weekend! Looking forward to meeting up with fellow #diatom enthusiasts and learn about some of the current research being undertaken across both modern and palaeo diatom studies!

New issue of Journal of Phycology is out with our paper highlighted on the cover. 😀 Congrats to all authors and especially Longji Deng 👏 @ueaenv.bsky.social

Each #microscope slide is a tiny window into the past 😊. This #diatom slide was from a sequence of samples from offshore southern North Sea, and is full of only freshwater species! This is because during the Early #Holocene much of the southern North Sea was land, connecting the UK to Europe!
