The Glossary is considerably revised and expanded, serving as an illustrated ?subject index? of more than 700 terms. An introduction to the phylum is followed by chapters on the 11 classes. Each class chapter contains 7 sections: taxonomic structure life history and ecology somatic structures oral structures division and morphogenesis nuclei, sexuality, and life cycle other features The book includes new data on the ultrastructure of the somatic cortex of each class, molecular phylogenetics, ecology, and on other important aspects of ciliate biology. These new data are used, along with a novel conceptual approach, to rationalize a new system of classification for the phylum, presented in a major chapter on The Ciliate Taxa. The book includes an up-to-date bibliography of approximately 3,000 citations to both the ?classical? and recent literature, and both a Subject Index and a Systematic Index. This unique and timely book will serve as a comprehensive and authoritative reference work for students, teachers, and researchers who have an interest in the protozoa, and particularly the ciliates. As an additional feature, all figures are available electronically for free viewing on the book's homepage at www.springer.com/978-1-4020-8238-2, under Additional Information. . 606 $aCiliata$vClassification 606 $aCiliata$vIdentification 608 $aElectronic books. 615 0$aCiliata 615 0$aCiliata 676 $a579.4/9 700 $aLynn$b Denis H$0922207 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910451264703321 996 $aThe ciliated protozoa$92069350 997 $aUNINA
