In the past few years rapid progress has been made regarding our understanding of one of the dominant phytoplankton groups of the world's oceans: the coccolithophores. Among other initiatives, the EU-funded TMR network CODENET (Coccolithophores Evolutionary Biodiversity and Ecology Network) has provided new results and insights. These and many other findings are reviewed and synthesized in a number of individual chapters which focus on coccolithophore biology (molecular to cellular), ecology (experimental and in the ocean), evolutionary phylogeny and its impact on current and past global changes. Coccolithophores are emerging as a prime model for interdisciplinary global change research due to their great abundance, wide distribution and exemplary geological record. The results presented in this book address the fundamental question of the interaction between the biota and the environment at various temporal and spatial scales.

Review

Aus den Rezensionen:

"Als eine Hauptkomponente des rezenten ozeanischen Planktons kommt den Coccolithophoren eine zunehmend gro�e wissenschaftliche Bedeutung zu. ... Diesen umfangreichen interdisziplin�ren Themenkomplexen wird das Buch ... voll gerecht. ... Die Vorteile dieses ‘state of the art-Kompendiums‘ w�rdigte der Rez. bereits eingangs. Das mit seinen Beitr�gen stark interdisziplin�r angelegte Werk wirkt deutlich stimulierend auf biologisch wie auch mikropal�ontologisch und (pal�o)ozeanologisch orientierte Forschende. ... f�r jeden interdisziplin�r arbeitenden (Pal�o )-Planktologen ist es ein Muss."

(in: Zentralblatt f�r Geologie und Pal�ontologie Teil II, 2006, Issue 5-6, S. 898 ff.)
