Download or read book An Introduction to Phycology written by G. R. South and published by John Wiley & Sons. This book was released on 2009-07-08 with total page 354 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This text presents the subject using a systems approach and is therefore a departure from the more commonly employed phyletic approach. Topics covered include classification, cellular and sub-cellular organization, morphology and growth, reproduction and life cycles, evolution, phylogeny, physiology, ecology and the relationship between algae and man. All currently recognized algal divisions are covered, including the Cyanophyceae and the Prochlorophycota. Topics are treated in a concise and factual manner, each section providing an up-to-date review with extensive reference to key literature. The volume is profusely illustrated with line drawings and photographs, and synoptic tables aid the interpretation of the subject. An Introduction to Phycology is intended for use in undergraduate courses, but will also be a valuable reference text for postgraduates.

Download or read book An Introduction to Organic Geochemistry written by Stephen Douglas Killops and published by Longman Scientific and Technical. This book was released on 1993 with total page 286 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "An Introduction to Organic Geochemistry explores the fate of organic matter in the geosphere, from its biological origins to its long-term preservation in sedimentary rock, through various biogeochemical transformations and recycling processes. The text focuses on the formation of organic-rich sedimentary deposits and fossil fuels but also covers other important areas of environmental geochemistry, notably pollution." "Geology, geochemistry and environmental science undergraduates and postgraduates, as well as students of ecology and oceanography, will find this text an essential introduction to organic geochemistry. Petroleum geologists and organisations involved in petroleum exploration will also find it an invaluable source of information." "Key topics covered include the global carbon cycle and natural processes; production and chemical composition of biogenic matter; environments associated with accumulation of organic-rich sediments; biogeochemical and thermal alteration in sediments, soil and water column; formation, occurrence and exploration of fossil fuels; man's influence on biogeochemical cycles, including global climate change; and factors affecting the behaviour of pollutants in the environment." "Stephen and Vanessa Killops have structured the text to accommodate readers with varied scientific backgrounds. Essential terminology is defined fully and boxes are used to explain concepts introduced from other disciplines. Further study is aided by the incorporation of carefully selected literature references."--BOOK JACKET.Title Summary field provided by Blackwell North America, Inc. All Rights Reserved

Download or read book Mechanical Engineering of the Cytoskeleton in Developmental Biology written by and published by Academic Press. This book was released on 1994-04-22 with total page 451 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Developing organisms are systems in which the geometry, dynamics, and boundary conditions are all changing in the course of morphogenesis. The morphogenesis of cells and organisms appear to be mediated in part by the mechanically active components of the cytoskeleton. Mechanical forces have long been considered secondary to the effects of molecular mechanisms in cell growth, differentiation, and development. This volume explores the role of mechanical forces in cell growth and development and demonstrates its importance. This volume will prove invaluable to all biologists interested in the fundamentals of mechanical forces in development, from the advanced to the graduate researcher.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The book , ‘An Introduction to Phytoplanktons - Diversity and Ecology’ is very useful as it covers wide aspects of phytoplankton study including the general idea about cyanobacteria and algal kingdom. It contains different topics related to very basic idea of phytoplanktons such as, types ,taxonomic description and the key for identification etc. Together with it, very modern aspects of phytoplankton study including different methodologies needed for research students of botany, ecology, limnology and environmental biology are also included. The first chapter is very basic and informative and describes algal and phytoplankton classification, algal pigments, algal bloom and their control, algal toxins, wetlands algae, ecological significance of phytoplanktons etc. A general key for identification of common phytoplankton genera is also included for students who will be able to identify these genera based on the light microscopic characters. In Chapters 2-4, different aspects of phytoplankton research like primary productivity, community pattern analysis and their ecological parameter analysis have been discussed with detailed procedures. Statistical analysis is also discussed in detail. Chapter 5 includes case studies related to review, phytoplankton diversity and dynamics.

Download or read book The Fine Structure of Algal Cells written by John D. Dodge and published by Elsevier. This book was released on 2012-12-02 with total page 274 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Fine Structure of Algal Cells is a hybrid between a review and a comprehensive descriptive work on fine structure of algae. Such fine structural data are important for any consideration of the classification of algae and for attempting to analyze their phylogenetic relationships. Fine-structure has provided many vital keys to the understanding of the interrelationships and phylogeny of the algae. Notably, the trend in algal fine structure work is toward use of electron microscopy to try to understand the functions of cells and organelles under both normal and experimental conditions. This book brings together information which has been gathered by electron microscopists. It considers 13 classes of algae: Chlorophyceae, Haptophyceae, Prasinophyceae, Bacillariophyceae, Chloromonadophyceae, Phaeophyceae, Euglenophyceae, Dinophyceae, Eustigmatophyceae, Cryptophyceae, Xanthophyceae, Rhodophyceae, and Chrysophyceae. It covers the main structural features of the various classes and the organelles present in typical cells. The book also describes the algal cell covering, flagella, pyrenoid, eyespot, nucleus, and ejectile organelles,as well as membranes, envelope, and stroma of algal chloroplasts. Lastly, it also explains the algal cell division. This book will help students visualize and compare algal structure, and at the same time provide enough references so that research workers can enter the literature to find out more precise details from the original sources.
