Ciliates in planktonic food webs: communication and adaptive response. 330 $aThis is the first coherent description of all levels of communication of ciliates. Ciliates are highly sensitive organisms that actively compete for environmental resources. They assess their surroundings, estimate how much energy they need for particular goals, and then realize the optimum variant. They take measures to control certain environmental resources. They perceive themselves and can distinguish between ?self? and ?non-self?. They process and evaluate information and then modify their behavior accordingly. These highly diverse competences show us that this is possible owing to sign(aling)-mediated communication processes within ciliates (intra-organismic), between the same, related and different ciliate species (inter-organismic), and between ciliates and non-ciliate organisms (trans-organismic). This is crucial in coordinating growth and development, shape and dynamics. This book further serves as a learning tool for research aspects in biocommunication in ciliates. It will guide scientists in further investigations on ciliate behavior, how they mediate signaling processes between themselves and the environment. 606 $aMicrobial ecology 606 $aMicrobiology 606 $aMicrobial genetics 606 $aMicrobial genomics 606 $aMicrobial Ecology$3https://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/L19082 606 $aEukaryotic Microbiology$3https://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/L23020 606 $aMicrobial Genetics and Genomics$3https://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/L32010 615 0$aMicrobial ecology. 615 0$aMicrobiology. 615 0$aMicrobial genetics. 615 0$aMicrobial genomics. 615 14$aMicrobial Ecology. 615 24$aEukaryotic Microbiology. 615 24$aMicrobial Genetics and Genomics. 676 $a579.17 702 $aWitzany$b Guenther$4edt$4http://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/edt 702 $aNowacki$b Mariusz$4edt$4http://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/edt 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910253867803321 996 $aBiocommunication of Ciliates$92532325 997 $aUNINA
