A Mechanistic Approach to Plankton Ecology

Zusatztext "What could be deadly dull material is enlivened by evocative examples from Kiørboe's extensive observations of plankton. . . . One cannot read this book without gaining a much fuller appreciation of how fluid motion influences life in the sea." Informationen zum Autor Thomas Kiørboe Klappentext "A considerable achievement, this book is a vital addition to the field and an important tool in assisting interdisciplinary investigations in ocean biology." --Susanne Menden-Deuer, Princeton University "This book allows scientists who work in any corner of the planktonic encounter arena to expand their views and teaching capabilities to cover the entire area. It will be the text of choice for graduate seminars in all the major and minor oceanographic and limnological institutions." --Peter A. Jumars, University of Maine Zusammenfassung The three main missions of any organism - growing, reproducing, and surviving - depend on encounters with food and mates, and on avoiding encounters with predators. This book offers a mechanistic approach to the study of ocean ecology by exploring biological interactions in plankton at the individual level. Inhaltsverzeichnis 8000039
