Produktinformationen zu „Microbial Ecology (PDF)“
Based on the thesis that insights into both evolution and ecology can be obtained through the study of microorganismsm, Microbial Ecology examines microbiology through the lens of evolutionary ecology. Measured from a microbial perspective, this text covers such topics as optimal foraging, genome, reduction, novel evolutionary mechanisms, bacterial speciation, and r and K selection. Numerous aspects of microbial existence are also discussed and include: species competition, predation, parasitism, mutualism, microbial communication through quorum sensing and other. The result is a context for understanding microbes in nature and a framework for microbiologists working in industry, medicine, and the environment.
- Applies evolutionary ecological concepts to microbes
- Addresses individual, population and community ecology
- Presents species concepts and offers insights on the origin of life and modern microbial ecology
- Examines topics such as species interactions, nutrient cycling, quorum sensing and cheating
Autoren-Porträt von J Vaun Mcarthur
Dr. J Vaun McArthur's research interests are quite diverse and span scales from ecological genetics to bacteria to ecosystem level studies with occasional forays into population and communicty ecology of invertebratesa nd microbes. His current emphasis is on the role of indirect selection in the spread of antibiotic resistance in aquatic (freshwater and marine) bacteria. He has taugh General Zoology, Biology, Ecology, Microbial Ecology, Microbiology, Environmental Science, and Limnology. He holds adjunct faculty appointments at the Institute of Ecology at UGA and the Department of Entomology at Clemson University.

Pressezitat
"...an excellent job in describing fundamental concepts in evolutionary ecology...unique in that it focuses on general ecological and evolutionary principles."- Noah Fierer, University of Colorado, in ECOLOGY
"Vaun McArthur...has succeeded uncommonly well."
