About this book

This edited volume brings together papers on recent advances in algal research, specifically dealing with taxonomy, ecology, and research applications.

Contents

- Professor's Jadwiga Sieminska's 65 years of scientific work

- Current advances in the biology of marine araphid diatoms
- Diatom diversity of the lower part of the Sljudjanka river draining the Chamar-Daban Mountains (southern part of the Lake Baikal catchment, Siberia, Russia)
- Diversity of diatom communities in the Wislok River (SE Poland)
- Diversity of diatoms (Bacillariophyceae) in the Mleczka River, Morwawa River and Rozanka stream (tributaries of the Wislok River, SE Poland), with particular reference to threatened species

Applications
