Description:

Antarctic Marine Protist Keys Imojen Pearce Fiona Scott We have developed a series of interactive taxonomic keys for identification of Antarctic Marine Protists. Our prime directive is to enable users to identify protists to species level and the keys are designed for users possessing a basic knowledge of microplankton morphology. The keys have been developed usingthe Lucid ® platformand have user friendly interfaces with pictorial guides to taxonomic features. The keys contains links to online ‘fact sheets’ that contain detailed notes on taxonomy, morphology and distribution for each species and are based onAntarctic Marine Protists (eds. Scott Marchant, 2005).By using light or electron microscopy, protists can be quickly identified using features available, transcending limitations associated with traditional paper based dichotomous keys.For each group we include links to useful references and on-line resources. Images below provide a quick link to keys for each class.
