The Cnidaria, Past, Present and Future: The world of Medusa and her sisters de Stefano Goffredo

The Cnidaria, Past, Present and Future: The world of Medusa and her sisters

Editat de Stefano Goffredo, Zvy Dubinsky
en Limba Engleză Hardback – 20 sep 2016
Thisvolume presents a broad panorama of the current status of research ofinvertebrate animals considered belonging to the phylum Cnidaria, such as hydra, jellyfish, sea anemone, and coral. In this book the Cnidarians aretraced from the Earth’s primordial oceans, to their response to the warming andacidifying oceans. Due to the role of corals in the carbon and calcium cycles,various aspects of cnidarian calcification are discussed. The relation of theCnidaria with Mankind is approached, in accordance with the Editors’ philosophyof bridging the artificial schism between science, arts and Humanities.  Cnidarians' encounters with humans result ina broad spectrum of medical emergencies that are reviewed. The final section ofthe volume is devoted to the role of Hydra and Medusa in mythology and art.

Notă biografică

Dr. Stefano Goffredo is consolidating hiscareer. His scientific initiative promises to lead marine biology towardsintegrative interdisciplinary syntheses. By extensive collaborations withleaders in different fields, such as physics, chemistry, computational scienceand photobiology SG developed multidisciplinary methodologies attacking thequestions identified by his field studies with novel laboratory tools. In hisresearch, SG has developed original aspects in the interpretation of growth and population data,population dynamics,reproductive biology and conservationmonitoring. Recently, he has expanded his interests to the biomineralization inrelation to environmental parameters. 
Prof. Emeritus Zvy Dubinsky of the Mina and EverardGoodman Faculty of Life Sciences studies the response of thephotosynthetic apparatus of microalgae to the intensity and spectralcomposition of underwater irradiance and nutrient concentration. Dubinsky andhis team focus on three systems – Phytoplankton in the Red Sea, theMediterranean and Lake Kinneret; Zooxanthellae living as endosymbionts in reefbuilding corals; and algal mass cultures for the production of biodiesel and finechemicals.
