New Western Pacific Marine Diatoms project site on ProtistCentral
GoogleEarth™ location of Guam in the Pacific
This site is a documentation of the algae of Guam and Micronesia. I have included pages for all the genera listed in the revised checklist of seaweeds and sea grasses (Lobban & Tsuda 2003, with additions in Lobban & N'Yeurt 2006, and adding) and posted pictures of all the genera I have been able to find on Guam--this is the main purpose of this site. I have added checklists of benthic microalgae (diatoms, dinos) and ciliates, as well as the freshwater algae and, increasingly, documentation of pond animals. This is intended primarily as a resource for students at U. Guam studying biodiversity.

Magnifications: Alongside most images is
a note of the lens used and the type of illumination
(e.g., 40x, DIC). The images have been cropped and scaled to different degrees
and
the objective used is only a rough guide to the size of the object. In a few
cases I have put
scale bars on the photos, and if anyone needs to know particular magnifications
I can go back
to the original images and apply a scale. Contact me: clobban / at/ uguam.uog
