Symbiotic interactions are those relationships between organisms
that permit some species to overcome their physiological
limitations by exploiting the capacities of others. This volume
presents a modern synthesis of scientific knowledge of symbiosis,
from the molecular mechanisms underlying its function to the
ecological and evolutionary impact of such associations. With an
emphasis on basic principles, the book takes the novel approach
that symbiosis is a vehicle by which many organisms have gained
access to complex metabolic capabilities. Examples are offered to
illustrate this concept, including photosynthetic algae in corals,
nitrogen-fixing bacteria in plant roots, and cellulose-degrading
micro-organisms in herbivorous mammals. The traditional view of
symbioses as mutually beneficial relationships is explicitly
abandoned. The book draws together the wide-ranging literature on
the topic, providing an integrated introduction that is accessible
to undergraduates. The work serves as an excellent text for courses
in symbiosis, and as a supplementary resource for students in
ecology, evolutionary biology, and parasitology. As an up-to-date
review of the field, the book will also be valued by graduate
students and researchers.
