Two new Halamphora (Bacillariophyta) species from the marine coasts off Livingston Island, Antarctica
During a survey of the marine benthic diatom flora on the coasts off Livingston Island (South Shetland Islands, Maritime Antarctic Region), two Halamphora species that could not be identified based on the currently available literature, were observed. Detailed light and scanning electron microscopy...
