abstract

  • Aulacoseira skvortzowii sp. nov. is a diatom taxon present in modern plankton assemblages and sedimentary deposits from Lake Baikal, Russia. It has been previously reported as A. islandica (O. Mull.) Simonsen, A. islandica ssp. helvetica (O. Mull.) Simonsen, a sporangial frustule of a. baicalensis (K. Meyer) Simonsen, and Aulacoseira 'spore.' However, its microstructure, ecology, and ability to form true resting spores provide ample criteria to describe this diatom a Aulacoseira skvortzowii sp. nov.
