Protistology

Protistology provides a comprehensive overview on recent developments in understanding the diversity of cell biology, genomic processes, parasite-host interactions, and the evolution of eukaryotes. The book is the first modern treatise on these organisms, walking readers through protistology's diversity and classification. This book is an ideal supplemental text for upper-level undergraduates and graduate students in microbial ecology, freshwater and marine biology, soil ecology, environmental sciences, or those looking to initiate a course in protistology.

• Covers the entire breadth of protists, including numerous illustrations, photographs and figures
• Provides an accessible, modern classification of protists
• Presents comparative cell biology and evolutionary trends in the diversity of protists
