Synthesizing
taxonomic, molecular and ecological information
|
| Scope:
Besides names of algae the AlgaTerra Information System is offering
evaluated information on their synonyms and their concepts. In addition,
it is providing taxonomic, molecular and ecological data of mainly
non-marine micro algae. The focus of this pilot version is on type
collections - mainly Ehrenberg, Hustedt und Lange-Bertalot - and
living reference collections, therefore linking historical information
to modern research. Since morphology and identity of micro algae
depend on their visualization many pictures are included.

Pictures and videos show
our current concept of a specific organism (taxon) and give you
an impression on the biodiversity and beauty of micro algae.
Scientific names are the key
to data of taxa.
Types calibrate the names and
many are illustrated here.
Morphology is descriptive
information on the characteristics of micro algae.
Molecular data is fingerprinting
the identity of an organism and is the basis for phylogenetic
research.
Ecology here is mainly descriptive
information on the habitat of an identified alga.
Abstracts are
included in a bibliography on aero-terrestrial algae.
The concept of AlgaTerra is described
in detail on our project page.
The AlgaTerra database is based on the Berlin
Model.
