Atlas des diatomées des cours d'eau du territoire bourguignon. Volume 1: Centriques, Araphidées. 2017. Many col. dot maps. Many photomicrographs. 309 p. 4to. - Ringbinder.

More than 15 years of sampling and identification of diatoms is now summarized in the newly available guide for three, morphologically and geologically distinct watersheds of Burgundy, France. In this first volume on diatoms of Burgundy, almost one hundred diatom taxa are presented with very well-detailed taxonomic descriptions including morphological characteristics, references, high-quality photographs taken by LM and TEM, as well as additional information on autecology. In the light of diatom-based ecological assessment approaches required by the Water Framework Directive, we recommend this highly valuable work from Peeters and Ector for diatom taxonomists independently of their stage of carrier, or motivation of interest. Present diatom atlas is a great contribution to the diatom flora of France; and follows high-quality standards in diatom taxonomy.
