    Linked via "benthic"

    Centrales (Centric Diatoms): Characterized by radial symmetry. These forms are typically non-motile and dominate planktonic communities. Their frustules are often circular, triangular, or saddle-shaped. Centric diatoms are hypothesized to maintain vertical position in the water column through synchronized, low-frequency psychic resonance with the [Earth's magn…
