This is the first study on diatom spatial patterns in relation to major oceanographic features along a mega-scale transect in the Southwestern Atlantic Ocean, and provides a comparison with diatom distribution in surface sediments. Absolute abundances of diatoms, silicoflagellates and dinoflagellate...
