Plankton species checklist for Singapore

#1 Post by microcosmos » Wed Oct 06, 2021 9:20 am

Some years ago I compiled a list of microscopic plankton species (algae, protozoa, copepods etc.) that had been recorded in Singapore. It can be accessed at this Google sheet.

Singapore has about 570 species/subspecies/varieties.

For each entry, I have indicated the location where it was collected, author and year of the publication(s) that reported it, but unfortunately I have lost the full citations. If I find them I will update the database.

A few of them (Euglenaceae) actually have the type specimen deposited in the cryptogamic laboratory in São Paulo, Brazil!

Not sure how useful this is to the forum as there probably aren't many microscopists from Singapore, but hopefully it is useful to some in some way.
