Parasitology and Vector Biology, Second Edition, is a comprehensive introduction to human and animal parasitology. It provides basic information on the biologies of such agents as protists, worms, and arthropods, but it also emphasizes how control programs can be structured in a sociological, political, and economic milieu. Students and researchers alike will appreciate the added coverage of the molecular aspects of parasitology in this new edition.* Includes more than 400 photos and drawings* Contains sidebars that discuss various aspects of parasitic disease* Discusses the real-world control of parasitic diseases, within biological, social, and economic contexts* Offers an expanded discussion of vector biology* Includes an extensive glossary* Consistent, logical organization allows the student ready access to important material

An up-to-date atlas of an important fossil and living group, with the Natural History Museum. Deep-sea benthic foraminifera have played a central role in biostratigraphic, paleoecological, and paleoceanographical research for over a century. These single–celled marine protists are important because of their geographic ubiquity, distinction morphologies and rapid evolutionary rates, their abundance and diversity deep–sea sediments, and because of their utility as indicators of environmental conditions both at and below the sediment–water interface. In addition, stable isotopic data obtained from deep–sea benthic foraminiferal tests provide paleoceanographers with environmental information that is proving to be of major significance in studies of global climatic change. This work collects together, for the first time, new morphological descriptions, taxonomic placements, stratigraphic occurrence data, geographical distribution summaries, and palaeoecological information, along with state-of-the-art colour photomicrographs (most taken in reflected light, just as you would see them using light microscopy), of 300 common deep-sea benthic foraminifera species spanning the interval from Jurassic - Recent. This volume is intended as a reference and research resource for post-graduate students in micropalaeontology, geological professionals (stratigraphers, paleontologists, paleoecologists, palaeoceanographers), taxonomists, and evolutionary (paleo)biologists.

An international team of authorities has contributed to this volume on the general biology of this group of flagellated protists. Comprehensive in coverage, the book includes subjects of special interest and many topics which have either never, or not recently, been reviewed. Although the emphasis is on living forms there is an extensive review of the main features of the fossil record, linked by a chapter on cyst formation. The book should undoubtedly become the definitive reference source on this fascinating group of algae

A complete curriculum about Protists for ages 10-15. Includes an 80-page student text with chapters on Paramecia, ciliates, flagellates, green algae, filamentous algae, diatoms, dinoflagellates, ameboids of all kinds, and an epilogue about protozoans that can make us sick. The text is lively and interesting, and filled with humorous cartoon characters, so these would-be-boring topics will be fascinating and fun for the students. Each chapter ends with some word puzzles, with special emphasis on the Greek and Latin words that appeared in that chapter. The 80+ pages of the teacher's section has plenty of high-content games and crafts. Additionally, the curriculum has its own YouTube playlist, providing access to dozens of videos showing microscopic views of these creatures. (Thus, no microscope is needed.)

Biology of Plants provides a comprehensive survey of basic botany - including viruses, prokaryotes, fungi and protists. Biology of the plant cell, diversity, genetics and evolution, growth and development, structure and function, as well as physiology and ecology form the main focus of the work. The 4th edition incorporates the newest scientific advances on all fronts, including increased emphasis on molecular methods applied to the study of plants, fundamentally new understanding of the evolution of angiosperms, substantial changes in the classification of protists and seedless vascular plants, significant new information on plant hormones from Arabidopsis studies. This thoroughly revised new edition also streamlines coverage of introductory topics and contains changes in the presentation of the material to address changes in the science. This didactically proven text book is elaborately illustrated and contains problem sets as well as an extensive glossary. Conceived for the American undergraduate program, "Raven" offers an effective and goal-oriented exam preparation for both majors and minors in Botany (Diplom, Bachelor and Masters programs).

The fungi are one of the great groups of living organisms, comparable in numbers of species, diversity and ecological significance with animals, plants, protists and bacteria. This textbook deals with all fundamental and applied aspects of mycology, illustrated by reference to well studied species from major fungal groups. Since the publication of the first edition of The Fungi, there have been many important advances in the field of mycology. This second up-to-date edition has been revised and substantially expanded, and incorporates the application of methods of molecular biology, especially DNA technology to mycology.Question and answer section at the end of each chapterModern classification based on Molecular phylogenyDetail of the recent increased understanding of the organelles and processes involved in hyphal growthNew molecular understanding of mating type genesThe latest on molecular recognition in the infection processThe use of DNA technology in engineering plant resistance to fungal diseasesNew section on medical mycologyFungal mycology in animalsThe latest on the use of genetically manipulated fungi to produce products earlier obtained from mammals

If our vision improved one million times, we would be able to see microbes in the air, on our skin, in the soil, in water, and on food! In Microbes: Discover an Unseen World, readers journey through microscopic worlds that collide with our own on a daily basis to encounter bacteria, viruses, fungi, protists, and archaea.There are some microbes we can’t live without, such as those that help us digest our food, while others can harm or even kill us, such as influenza and ebola. Microbes looks at some of the ways the body protects itself from diseases and infections through critical thinking exercises that explore the differences between harmful and beneficial microbes. Follow in the footsteps of the scientists who had both the genius and the imagination to research and discover microbes.Hands-on experiments such as building a mini incubator, making bacterial growth plates, and growing fungi allow children to explore their microbiological surroundings safely while employing the scientific method to discover details about microbes. Fun facts and primary sources make learning fun and integrative, while cartoon illustrations engage kids' imaginations and prod their natural curiosity about this weird and fascinating topic.
