The Diatoms of Southeast Asia. 2021. 1396 figs.(1358 LM & 38 SEM). 96 tabs.(4 in the text & 92 in the appendix). 2 maps. 317 p. gr8vo.- In Russian, with Latin nomenclature.
The monograph is a result of a 7-year investigation of diatom flora from waterbodies and watercourses in Laos. Cambodia and Vietnam (Southeast Asia).
Unlike the fauna and flora of vascular plants, the diatom flora of Southeast Asia has been poorly studied. The history of diatom investigation from Southeast Asia is considered in detail, an analysis of the fundamental works in the region is given, and a detailed annotated list is compiled. The representatives from the orders Eunotiales Silva 1962 were studied, with the exception of the genus Eunotia Ehrenberg 1837 (considered by the authors earlier), Mastogloiales D.G. Mann 1990, Cymbellales D.G. Mann 1990 and Naviculales Bessey 1907.
140 species and varieties have been identified. Diatoms are illustrated by 1358 original light and 38 scanning electron micrographs. The morphology and phylogeny of some taxa of diatoms are discussed.
