Flagellates de Barry S. C. Leadbeater

Flagellates: Unity, Diversity and Evolution

Barry S. C. Leadbeater

John C. Green

en Limba Engleză Paperback – 16 sep 2019

The Flagellates presents a multidisciplinary view of the flagellates exploring both their unity, in terms of their structure, mechanisms and processes, and their diversity in terms of biogeography, niche colonisation, and adaptations to their environment. In addition, evolutionary relationships amongst flagellates are explored. This is the only book published on this subject and features the most up to date information available making it an essential read for any one interested in or working in this field.

Descriere

The Flagellates presents a multidisciplinary view of the flagellates exploring both their unity, in terms of their structure, mechanisms and processes, and their remarkable diversity in terms of biogeography, niche colonization, and adaptations to their environment. In addition, genetic links and evolutionary topics are discussed including the basis for eukaryotes diversification. Contributors discuss a wide range of topics such as the flagellate cytoskeleton, cell surface, mechanisms of flagellar propulsion, trophic strategies, parasitism, functional diversity of heterotrophic flagellates, and sensory mechanims especially with regard to phototaxes and light perception in algae.
