One of our principle aims is to document the diversity of Palaeozoic phytoplankton through the construction of a Sepkoski-type curve. The distribution of the phytoplankton can then be related to changing patterns in global climate, macrofaunal diversity and the end Ordovician, Late Devonian and Permian–Triassic extinction events.

The phytoPal database is the backbone of the project. In essence it comprises a list of phytoplankton taxa and their stratigraphical occurrence and a reference database. As the phytoPal project aims to promote discussion between phytoplankton workers, certain sections of the database have been made public and we welcome any comments and the submission of additional information. Comments can be either directed to Gary Mullins, or may be sent to the phytoPal distribution list (see below). Each of the databases is regularly updated and a 'release date' is given at the bottom of each page.

The phytoPal distribution list is an email based message board for discussion about the phytopal project.To subscribe to the list send the following message to listserver@le.ac.uk. The command should be in the main body of the email (i.e. the bit where you normally type your message and not the subject field). The subject field should be left blank and any signature files deleted.subscribe phytopal Your NameWhen you want to send messages to the list, send your email to phytopal@le.ac.uk. You will receive a copy of your email and it will also be sent to every other subscriber. Replies to messages should also be sent to this address.Messages can only be sent from the email address or addresses that you subscribe. So, if you intend to use hotmail or other email accounts when abroad/at home, you will have to subscribe these as well. Any messages from email addresses that are not subscribed will be automatically rejected by the listserver.If you wish to unsubscribe a particular email address you should send the following command to listserver@le.ac.uk.
