Planktonic protists both produce and consume most of the primary
production in the world ocean. They not only play key roles in the
oceans but also represent an astounding amount of diversity:
ecological morphological and genetic. However, for most taxa their
ecology, morphology, phylogeny and biogeography are either poorly
known or appear to be largely unrelated to one another; this
hinders our understanding of their biology as well as
interpretation of emerging genetic data. Tintinnid ciliates
represent a singular exception. Compared to nearly all other groups
of planktonic protists, there is a very substantial and relatively
detailed literature (both modern and historical) on tintinnids.
This volume synthesizes knowledge concerning a wide variety of
topics ranging from anatomy and systematics, physiology, behavior,
ecology (including ecological roles, predators, parasites,
biogeography, and cysts) to fossil history. It will appeal to an
audience ranging from advanced undergraduates to researchers in the
fields of Oceanography, Marine Biology and Microbial Ecology.
