The Flagellates: Unity, diversity and evolution

xii, 401, text figs. 250x170mm. HB. Vg. From the library of Prof. J. Green (1928-2016) with his name to endpaper. A substantial multidisciplinary synthesis of flagellate biology, bringing together studies of morphology, ultrastructure, locomotion, sensory biology, ecology, systematics and evolution. Published at a particularly significant period in protistology, when molecular phylogenetics was transforming traditional classifications, the work examines both the structural unity of the flagellate condition and the extraordinary evolutionary diversity of the organisms in which it occurs.
