2014 Award Recipient
Nannotax (http://www.mikrotax.org/Nannotax3/)
The Nannotax website has been primarily created by three authors: Dr. Jeremy R. Young, Prof. Paul R. Bown, and Dr. Jaqueline A. Lees. The website aims to provide an authoritative guide to the biodiversity and taxonomy of coccolithophores - a beautiful group of microscopic planktonic algae with an abundant fossil record and a key role in the global carbon cycle. It is both a working tool for specialists and an accessible reference source for anyone else looking for information on any coccolithophores.
