Growth and Reproductive Strategies of Freshwater Phytoplankton
Editorial Reviews
Review
'Even with 25 years experience in phytoplankton ecology, I have learnt a lot from this book; I strongly recommend it to both 'old stagers' and young students of phytoplankton ecology ...' A. E. Bailey-Watts, Trends in Ecology and Evolution
'The book will provide researchers and postgraduate students alike with an excellent introduction to the ecological implications of the growth and life histories of the algae.' European Journal of Protistology
'A must for phycologists as well as limnologists!' Hydrobologia
Book Description
Nine contributors bring both the phycological (i.e., botanical) and limnological (i.e., ecological) literature into focus to reveal the morphological, reproductive, and physiological characteristics of these microscopic organisms as adaptive evolutionary strategies for survival in stressful and seasonally changing aquatic habitats. The synthesis of these literatures from an organismal and evolutionary perspective is unique. The following important groups of planktonic algae are considered: cyanobacteria, green algae, diatoms, dinoflagellates, cryptomonads, and chrysophyte flagellates. For each algal group, the importance of both growth and loss processes influencing biogeography and seasonality is emphasized.
