Fragilariopsis kerguelensis is one of the most abundant diatoms in the sediments of the Southern Ocean. Its morphometric features have been proposed as proxies, based on links with, for example, iron availability, sea surface temperature and glacial/interglacial conditions. We investigated morphomet...
