Title

Checklist of marine diatoms from the Turkish coastal waters with updated nomenclature

Abstract

Marine diatom research in the coastal waters of Turkey started nearly two centuries ago. In the last decades, increasing numbers of contributions extended the knowledge of the marine phytoplankton. While several studies dedicated to planktonic forms and the checklists published concerning on the phytoplankton, relatively low numbers of benthic diatom studies were performed. Therefore, this is the first detailed list of the marine diatoms including both planktonic and benthic forms in Turkish coasts. This paper brings up the checklist of the past research referring to the authors in the last two centuries within the scope of the latest nomenclature. A total of 767 taxa (species, varieties and forms) belonging to 183 genera were listed. This study focussed into the study areas according to the reviewed literature and showed that many areas are yet to be investigated.
