The main objective of this project is to gather information about diatom species present on several islands of Maritime Antarctica, with fundamental questions: How many species are present on these islands? Are they already known for science? Will we have to describe new species? To answer these questions, we will conduct a thorough LM and SEM taxonomical revision. The data and samples collected during this research will be helpful in future ecological and biogeographical studies.
