DEB-9972120Siver The primary focus of this project will be to survey and inventorythe scaled chrysophyte and diatom floras in seepage lakes and ponds alonga transect from Maine to Florida, with a focus on coastal Maine, Cape Cod,the Carolina Bay region and central Florida. Although seepage lakes fromeach region along this transect differ in their origin, they are similarin being acidic, poorly buffered, and high in sodium and chlorideconcentrations. We plan to critically examine collections in order tofully depict each flora, describe new species, gain knowledge on raretaxa, and identify habitats that are particularly rich and diverse withthese organisms. We will use our data to address the following question.How many waterbodies within each region, or between all regions, will needto be set aside and protected in order to conserve the biodiversitycontained within these two organismal groups? A basic understanding ofthis question is needed before conservation and biodiversity managementplans can be designed and implemented for these and other microscopictaxa. We will also continue to develop our World Wide Web-based resourcesto inventory, archive and disseminate research results using searchabledatabases, expand our library of images of important taxa, and to continueto expand our ecological knowledge of these siliceous algal groups.Lastly, we will train a group of undergraduates in the techniques andapproaches used in the taxonomy and identification of scaled chrysophytesand diatoms.

DEB-9972120SIVER该项目的主要重点将是调查和库存从缅因州到佛罗里达州的渗流湖泊和池塘中缩放的红晶和硅藻植物群，重点关注缅因州沿海地区，Cape Cod，Cape Cod，Carolina Bay地区和佛罗里达州中部。 尽管沿该横除区域的渗流湖的起源不同，但它们相似，它们的酸性，缓冲较差，钠和氯化浓度很高。 我们计划批判性地检查收藏品，以便tofly以描绘每个植物群，描述新物种，获得有关Raretaxa的知识，并确定这些生物体特别丰富和多样的栖息地。我们将使用我们的数据来解决以下问题。每个区域内的许多水体需要搁置并保护所有区域之间，以保护这两个有机体内的生物多样性？ 在为这些和其他显微镜设计设计和实施生物多样性管理计划之前，需要对这一问题进行基本了解。 我们还将继续开发我们的全球基于Web的资源清单，存档和使用可搜索的图库进行研究结果，扩展我们的重要分类单元图像库，并继续扩展我们对这些硅质藻类组的生态知识。
