Navicula hambergi is a boat-shaped pennate diatom found in freshwater benthic and planktonic habitats. Its symmetrical, lanceolate silica frustule with a central raphe is typical of the large Navicula genus. This species contributes to aquatic primary production and is used in biological monitoring of freshwater quality, as different Navicula species have varying tolerances to pollution.

Navicula streckerae is a freshwater diatom in the family Naviculaceae, described from European freshwater habitats and named after the diatomist Regine Stecker. It occupies benthic and metaphytic niches in rivers and lakes.
