Book Synopsis The Biology and Ecology of Tintinnid Ciliates by : John R. Dolan
Download or read book The Biology and Ecology of Tintinnid Ciliates written by John R. Dolan and published by John Wiley & Sons. This book was released on 2012-09-13 with total page 460 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: 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.

Book Synopsis Ciliate Atlas: Species Found in the South China Sea by : Xiaozhong Hu
Download or read book Ciliate Atlas: Species Found in the South China Sea written by Xiaozhong Hu and published by Springer. This book was released on 2019-04-23 with total page 936 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This atlas aims to provide a ‘one-stop’ reference source of basic data on tropical marine ciliates that should be used for researchers worldwide. As one of main components, ciliates play vital roles in the microbial food web. Studies of ciliate diversity are, however, constrained by a lack of modern monographs and guides for the identification of tropical marine ciliates. Therefore, an image-rich guide or atlas like this book will undoubtedly be of great benefit for those who are not trained in ciliate taxonomy but who encounter ciliates in disciplines such as ecology, environmental biology, aquaculture and other related fields. We have carried out in-depth studies on ciliates along the coastal area of South China Sea for more than ten years and got a lot of ‘first-hand’ data. This atlas will assemble diagrams and photomicrographs of 315 free-living species of ciliate that have been found in the coastal area of the South China Sea. To be reader-friendly, habitats, ecological features and key references as well systematics will be provided for every species.
Book Synopsis Loricate Ciliate Tintinnids in a Tropical Mangrove Wetland by : Santosh Kumar Sarkar
Download or read book Loricate Ciliate Tintinnids in a Tropical Mangrove Wetland written by Santosh Kumar Sarkar and published by Springer. This book was released on 2014-11-24 with total page 116 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book is an integrated approach to present a detailed case study in order to address the taxonomic and ecological features of this planktonic choreotrich protists in an iconic tropical mangrove wetland - Sundarban. To identify each tintinnid species, emphasis is given with regards to taxonomic features accompanied by high resolution images. This work explores the interaction between man-induced stress and the impact of climate change which is threatening the tintinnid biodiversity, and suggests, for example, remedial measures by adopting sound management strategies. Tintinnids (Protozoa: Ciliata: Tintinnida) are a coherent group ecologically recognized as micro-zooplankton. They deserve special attention because of their unique biodiversity and their crucial, functional role in the marine food chain. This is a valuable reference source for students, researchers, policy planners and coastal managers engaged in the field of marine biology, microbial ecology and marine bio-resources.

Book Synopsis A Mechanistic Approach to Plankton Ecology by : Thomas Kiørboe
Download or read book A Mechanistic Approach to Plankton Ecology written by Thomas Kiørboe and published by Princeton University Press. This book was released on 2008-09-22 with total page 227 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "This book offers a mechanistic approach to the study of ocean ecology by exploring biological interactions in plankton at the individual level. The book focuses on encounter mechanisms, since the pace of life in the ocean intimately relates to the rate at which encounters happen." "Most of the book's chapters consist of a theoretical introduction followed by examples of how the theory might be applied to real-world problems. In the final chapters, mechanistic insights of individual-level processes help to describe broader population dynamics and pelagic food web structure and function."--BOOK JACKET.
Download or read book Plankton written by Iain Suthers and published by CRC Press. This book was released on 2019-02-28 with total page 272 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Key features: Contains a new chapter on Plankton in the Classroom Greatly expanded coverage of coastal and marine phytoplankton Explains the role of plankton in aquatic ecosystems and its usefulness as a water quality indicator Updates and details best practice in methodology for plankton sampling and monitoring programs Brings together widely-scattered information on freshwater and coastal phytoplankton and zooplankton and provides a list of up-to-date references Healthy waterways and oceans are essential for our increasingly urbanised world. Yet monitoring water quality in aquatic environments is a challenge, as it varies from hour to hour due to stormwater and currents. Being at the base of the aquatic food web and present in huge numbers, plankton are strongly influenced by changes in environment and provide an indication of water quality integrated over days and weeks. Plankton are the aquatic version of a canary in a coal mine. They are also vital for our existence, providing not only food for fish, seabirds, seals and sharks, but producing oxygen, cycling nutrients, processing pollutants, and removing carbon dioxide from our atmosphere. This Second Edition of Plankton is a fully updated introduction to the biology, ecology and identification of plankton and their use in monitoring water quality. It includes expanded, illustrated descriptions of all major groups of freshwater, coastal and marine phytoplankton and zooplankton and a new chapter on teaching science using plankton. Best practice methods for plankton sampling and monitoring programs are presented using case studies, along with explanations of how to analyse and interpret sampling data. Plankton is an invaluable reference for teachers and students, environmental managers, ecologists, estuary and catchment management committees, and coastal engineers.

Book Synopsis Biocommunication of Ciliates by : Guenther Witzany
Download or read book Biocommunication of Ciliates written by Guenther Witzany and published by Springer. This book was released on 2016-05-23 with total page 375 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This is the first coherent description of all levels of communication of ciliates. Ciliates are highly sensitive organisms that actively compete for environmental resources. They assess their surroundings, estimate how much energy they need for particular goals, and then realise the optimum variant. They take measures to control certain environmental resources. They perceive themselves and can distinguish between ‘self’ and ‘non-self’. They process and evaluate information and then modify their behaviour accordingly. These highly diverse competences show us that this is possible owing to sign(aling)-mediated communication processes within ciliates (intra-organismic), between the same, related and different ciliate species (inter-organismic), and between ciliates and non-ciliate organisms (trans-organismic). This is crucial in coordinating growth and development, shape and dynamics. This book further serves as a learning tool for research aspects in biocommunication in ciliates. It will guide scientists in further investigations on ciliate behavior, how they mediate signaling processes between themselves and the environment.

Book Synopsis Evaluating the Morphological, Ecological, and Genomic Lines of Identity in Marine Ciliates by : Susan Smith
Download or read book Evaluating the Morphological, Ecological, and Genomic Lines of Identity in Marine Ciliates written by Susan Smith and published by . This book was released on 2020 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Establishing appropriate diagnostic characters for taxonomic delineation is critical for the reliable classification and organization of life. Yet in most ciliate research, taxonomic characters and species boundaries are largely ambiguous. Implications for this include our ability to estimate patterns of global protist biodiversity, and our understanding of the ecological and evolutionary processes that govern these patterns. The following work evaluates the diagnostic characters and indices of identification in marine ciliates through the incorporation of both traditional and contemporary methods. Patterns and processes of marine protist diversity are interpreted using contemporary studies, which reveal evidence for endemism, widespread crypticity, impermanent barriers to gene flow, and high diversity at both local and global scales. The mechanisms of diversification that create and maintain these patterns are explored, including rapid speciation events, allopatry, epigenetics, and the incorporation of existing evolutionary frameworks once reserved only for multicellular life. Currently, the suggested diagnostic characters used to inform taxonomic delineation in ciliates include a combination of morphologic, genetic, and ecological data. These characters are used to describe the new genus and species Dartintinnus alderae (class Spirotrichea, order Tintinnida), which is delineated from all described ciliates through unique morphologic features, a substantial genetic divergence in barcode regions, and the tendency to persist in brackish waters.
