Phytoplankton and Equilibrium Concept: The Ecology of Steady-State Assemblages
This volume summarises the outcome of the 13th Workshop of the International Association of Phytoplankton Taxonomy and Ecology (IAP) on if, and if so under what conditions phytoplankton assemblages reach equilibrium in natural environments. Quite a number of ecological concepts use terms such as: ecological equilibrium, stability, steady-state, climax, stable state, etc. However, these ecological concepts often have been "translations" of scientific theories developed in physics or chemistry but they almost always lack scientific corroboration, the problem being that often these concepts remain vague and they are not formally defined. Here an attempt to formally recognize what "equilibrium" is in phytoplankton ecology is traced. The book also contains papers by leading scientists on the taxonomy of two selected key groups: cryptomonads and filamentous cyanoprokaryotes. This volume is addressed to all those involved in phytoplankton taxonomy and ecology and in ecology itself.
Unravelling the algae
Acting as titans in global control of the biosphere and colonizing virtually all corners of the earth, algae, extremely diverse and numerous oxygenic, photosynthetic organisms, can be major players in and drivers of environmental change. For hundreds of years, since their evolutionary origins by endosymbiosis, when a protozoan enslaved a cyanobacte
Marine Mastogloia Thwaites Ex W. Sm. and Stigmaphora Wallich Species from the French Lesser Antilles
Smpling carried out during the winter-spring period from 2005 to 2011 has made it possible to identify 90 MASTOGLOIA taxa present on sandy bottoms located in the sublittoral zone along the coasts of Guadeloupe Marie-Galante and Martinique French Lesser Antilles Islands Caribbean Sea
The Freshwater Algal Flora of the British Isles
First comprehensive guide of its kind, this volume is essential for any study of freshwater algae in the British Isles.
Freshwater Algae of North America
Freshwater algae are among the most diverse and ubiquitous organisms on earth. They occupy an enormous range of ecological conditions from lakes and rivers to acidic peat swamps, inland saline lakes, snow and ice, damp soils, wetlands, desert soils, wastewater treatment plants, and are symbionts in and on many plants, fungi, and animals. In North America, the variety of freshwater habitats colonized by algae is very rich, and offers an enormous and fascinating range of environments for their study. They form the base of most aquatic food webs and are critical to studies of ecosystem health. Algal ecologists and taxonomists play an important role in the understanding of aquatic ecosystems: th...

Coenraad Jacob Temminck and the Emergence of Systematics (1800–1850)
This volume investigates the development of systematics as a discipline through the lens of the life and work of the naturalist Coenraad Jacob Temminck (1778–1858), the first director of ’s Rijks Museum van Natuurlijke Historie (National Museum of Natural History) in Leiden, the Netherlands.
