Over het archief
Het OWA, het open archief van het Waterbouwkundig Laboratorium heeft tot doel alle vrij toegankelijke onderzoeksresultaten van dit instituut in digitale vorm aan te bieden. Op die manier wil het de zichtbaarheid, verspreiding en gebruik van deze onderzoeksresultaten, alsook de wetenschappelijke communicatie maximaal bevorderen.
Dit archief wordt uitgebouwd en beheerd volgens de principes van de Open Access Movement, en het daaruit ontstane Open Archives Initiative.

| Abstract |
An unknown species of Psammothidium (Achnanthidiaceae) was found in core sediment (~4000 cal yr BP) collected from Xingu ria, located in eastern Amazon Basin (Brazilian Amazon). The detailed morphology of the new species was examined and described using light (LM) and scanning electron (SEM) microscopy. The new species described here is mainly characterized by small valve dimensions, an irregular and expanded central area in rapheless valve (RLV) clearly visible in LM. Under SEM observations, the new species show slightly radiate striae with rectangular to rounded areolae present both on the surface and the valve mantle. Morphology and ecology of the new species is compared to those already described for the genus. Moreover, information about core chronology and the co-occurrence of other diatom species in the sample are also provided. |
