Lipps, J.H. Plankton Evolution. Diatoms occur in all oceans from the poles to the tropics; polar and subpolar regions contain relatively few species compared with temperate biota. Although tropical regions exhibit the greatest number of species, more abundant populations are found in polar to temperate regions. 1970, 24 (1): 1–22. JSTOR 2406711. doi:10.2307/2406711.
