内容説明
The three main missions of any organism--growing, reproducing, and surviving--depend on encounters with food and mates, and on avoiding encounters with predators. Through natural selection, the behavior and ecology of plankton organisms have evolved to optimize these tasks. This book offers a mechanistic approach to the study of ocean ecology by exploring biological interactions in plankton at the individual level. The book focuses on encounter mechanisms, since the pace of life in the ocean intimately relates to the rate at which encounters happen. Thomas Kirboe examines the life and interactions of plankton organisms with the larger aim of understanding marine pelagic food webs. He looks at plankton ecology and behavior in the context of the organisms' immediate physical and chemical habitats. He shows that the nutrient uptake, feeding rates, motility patterns, signal transmissions, and perception of plankton are all constrained by nonintuitive interactions between organism biology and small-scale physical and chemical characteristics of the three-dimensional fluid environment. Most of the book's chapters consist of a theoretical introduction followed by examples of how the theory might be applied to real-world problems. In the final chapters, mechanistic insights of individual-level processes help to describe broader population dynamics and pelagic food web structure and function.

Great book
2010/11/10
形式:ハードカバー
This book presents a coherent view of plankton ecology, integrating physical and ecological processes, and scaling up from individuals to population and ecosystem dynamics. In this way, I found the book appropriate for anyone interested in plankton ecology. I think it could be especially relevant for those interested in modelling physical-biological interactions in the sea. Finally, the book is delightfully written and edited with care, so despite the materials treated are to some extent advanced, it is very a very readable, at times entertaining book.

Mechanistic Plankton Ecology
2009/4/18
形式:ハードカバー|Amazonが確認した購入
I was hoping for a constructive presentation of plankton ecology models similar to the presentation of governing equations in continuum mechanics. This was not the case in the text.
