Produktinformationen zu „The Biology and Ecology of Tintinnid Ciliates (PDF)“
Planktonic protists both produce and consume most of the primary production in the world ocean. They not only play key roles in the oceans but also represent an astounding amount of diversity: ecological morphological and genetic. However, for most taxa their ecology, morphology, phylogeny and biogeography are either poorly known or appear to be largely unrelated to one another; this hinders our understanding of their biology as well as interpretation of emerging genetic data. Tintinnid ciliates represent a singular exception. Compared to nearly all other groups of planktonic protists, there is a very substantial and relatively detailed literature (both modern and historical) on tintinnids. This volume synthesizes knowledge concerning a wide variety of topics ranging from anatomy and systematics, physiology, behavior, ecology (including ecological roles, predators, parasites, biogeography, and cysts) to fossil history. It will appeal to an audience ranging from advanced undergraduates to researchers in the fields of Oceanography, Marine Biology and Microbial Ecology.
Autoren-Porträt
John Dolan style="font-family:">has worked on plankton ecology for over 25years in systems ranging from eutrophic estuaries to the
oligotrophic South Pacific. His research subjects are plankton
protists, especially ciliates and dinoflagellates and research
topics are biodiversity, species packing, and the relationships of
form and function.
David Montagnes style="font-family:">is an aquatic ecologist. He combines
modelling, laboratory, and field studies investigations into the
ecophysiology and behaviour of protists- aquatic taxa forming a
rich assemblage and occupying environmentally important niches. His
research themes include the flow of energy and biomass in
ecosystems and how abiotic and biotic properties and anthropogenic
perturbations alter individuals, populations, and
ecosystems.
Sabine Agatha style="font-family:">is a ciliate taxonomist. She has spent over 20
years describing and classifying ciliates mostly from marine
habitats by combining morphologic and genetic approaches. The
biodiversity, evolution, and biogeography of ciliates are her main
research topics.style="font-family:">
Wayne Coats style="font-family:">is a recently retired protistologist. His
research encompasses ecology, morphology, life history, and
taxonomy of dinoflagellates and ciliates. Parasitism and mixotrophy
are featured themes of his work.style="font-family:">
Diane Stoecker style="font-family:">is a biological oceanographer. Her laboratory
and field projects focus on microzooplankton and their grazing on
phytoplankton and role as prey for copepods and other
mesozooplankton. Plastid retention and mixotrophy in ciliates and
dinoflagellates and their effects on population dynamics and
trophic transfer are other favorite research topics.
