| Abstract: | A relational database linking diatom images, taxonomic nomenclature, sample collection information, and corresponding environmental data can be created easily using existing software packages. Structured properly, such a database becomes a dynamic tool for cataloguing specimens and recording associated site data. This, in turn, can greatly assist in the rapid communication of taxonomic and ecological information, the education of beginning analysts, and the assurance of taxonomic consistency. |
