This book is an overview of freshwater invertebrates, and a useful identification guide for both academics and enthusiasts.
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
Identification guide to freshwater protozoa
This guide is designed to provide a simple means of identifying the main groups of protoza found in aquacultre ponds through photographs and drawings. This is supplemented with information on the likely effects of protoza on water quality and the health of the cultured species.
This exquisitely illustrated book is the definitive guide to the identification of protozoa. As well as over 230 high-quality colour photographs, it contains 500 detailed line drawings, showing essential features and making speedy and positive identification possible. The succinct and authoritative text is supported by extensive references. Communities of protozoa are dealt with in a separate section, which covers a range of environments and contains information on the significance of these communities as indicators of contamination and pollution. As well as being an essential teaching aid, Free-Living Freshwater Protozoa is a valuable guide for professional biologists involved with water, sewage treatment, rivers, soils and environmental management. it is also an important reference source for food science laboratories and public health and regulatory bodies. Free-Living Freshwater Protozoa includes: Collection, examination and recording of protozoa Classification Identification — using the highly illustrated key with supporting text and references Protozoan communities — covering a range of man-made and natural environments Glossary of terms Extensive bibliography and reference lists From the Reviews: ‘… The photomicrographs are generally of excellent quality, and these, with the equally excellent line drawings and complete descriptions, make for a very easy-to-use key. This is about the best reference one could have, short of an actual, living specimen … This is not a specialist book and can be easily used by amateurs; but it should also prove a valuable guide to professional biologists involved with water, sewage works, rivers, soils, environmental management, food science, and public health; it would, in addition, serve as a dandy teaching aid for classroom use, as well as for self-study.’ — The Microscope
"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
A starting point from where students and amateurs can identify some of the many forms of freshwater microscopic life.
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.
