Going with the flow: detection of drift in response to hypo-saline stress by the estuarine benthic diatom Cylindrotheca closterium

Avoidance response is a well-known mechanism for escaping environmental stress. For organisms with reduced active movement, such as benthic microalgae, drifting could be a specifically selected mean of avoiding less favorable environments. To test this hypothesis, a system was developed to assess if...
