Coral - reef diatoms (Bacillariophyta) from Guam: new records and preliminary checklist, with emphasis on epiphytic species from farmer - fish territories. 2012. (Micronesica, 43:2). 69 pls. 237 p. gr8vo. Paper bd.
The marine diatom flora of the tropical western Pacific island of Guam is all but unknown. Following several taxonomic / systematic papers, this floristic paper documents 179 new records of diatoms identified from light microscopy and/or scanning electron microscopy.Samples were collected from diverse habitats for several research projects in the authors' laboratories, but the majority reported here,are epiphytic, especially from pomacentrid farmer - fish territories.
