Molecular clock data place the evolution of diatoms around the time period following the Permian extinction. One hypothesis is that an adaptive radiation occurred as they colonized new marine niches. Based on what you know about the effects of ocean acidification on the formation of tests made from calcium carbonate and the composition of the tests (cell walls) of diatoms, what is a possible explanation for this diatom "explosion"?
