Protozoa may be found in almost every aquatic habitat, each containing dozens of species. The diversity can provide invaluable insights into the nature of the habitat. Protozoa can thus be used to illustrate biological principles. This colour guide makes the identification of individual protozoa easily accessible to students and professionals and p

"Protozoa may not be the first things that come to mind when you think of adaptation, evolution, food webs, succession, physiology, life strategies, and chemical susceptibility. These microorganisms, however, are a great tool to model these and other macro-concepts. Protozoa perform many of the same biological and ecological activities seen in their macroscopic counterparts. And they are much easier to find and cultivate. This book's 28 hands-on activities will help teach organizing principles of biology and ecology, and make links to other disciplines."--Back cover

Protozoa may be found in almost every aquatic habitat, each containing dozens of species. The diversity can provide invaluable insights into the nature of the habitat and can be used as an indicator of environmental change, pollution and contamination. This colour guide makes the identification of individual protozoa easily accessible to students and professionals and provides information on protozoan communities found in different environments by means of a wealth of colour photomicrographs supported by original and detailed line drawings and concise text.

For the first time, an effort to conduct coordinated interdisciplinary research on a vast and complex saline lake has been undertaken for the purposes of providing baseline data to guide restoration project activities. This volume compiles state-of-the-art science for the Salton Sea and will serve as the foundation for the next several generations of scientific inquiry for California's largest lake. The science presented here reveals the Salton Sea to be one of the most productive fisheries in the world, details why the Salton Sea is important to migratory and wintering birds, investigates the microbial world and reports numerous taxa new to science, and documents chemical and physical interactions which make this inland saline lake function. This book is intended for specialists in saline lake research who are interested in all aspects of saline lake ecology.
