Handbook of the Protists

Beschreibung

Published in a modern, user-friendly format this fully revised and updated edition of The Handbook of Protoctista (1990) is the resource for those interested in the biology, diversity and evolution of eukaryotic microorganisms and their descendants, exclusive of animals, plants and fungi. With chapters written by leading researchers in the field, the content reflects the present state of knowledge of the cell and genome biology, evolutionary relationships and ecological/medical/economic importance each major group of protists, organized according to current protist systematics as informed by molecular phylogenetics and genomics.

Covers protists’ morphology, molecular biology, biochemistry, ecology and fossil record

Collates work on an unparalleled breadth of eukaryotic micro-organisms

Enables discovery through organization by current protist systematics

“The Handbook covers many of these dreadful protistan parasites, but, unlike conventional parasitology texts, the parasitic species are discussed within the larger context of their encompassing phyla, allowing the reader to see how the general features of particular types of protists may have given them advantages in exploiting new hosts. … The Handbook is thus an essential resource for researchers studying protistan parasites.” (Wallace F. Marshall, Current Biology Magazine, Vol. 28 (3), February, 2018)
