A Mechanistic Approach to Plankton Ecology
"I found the ordering and summary of materials, especially those applying encounter theories directly, to be helpful in ordering my own thinking. The ideas will be broadly familiar to experts in the field, but Kirboe's clean, direct presentations pull them together in a rewarding way; your study time will be well spent. For aspiring experts, this mechanistic approach is important to master, and working through this book will give you a great running start."--Charles B. Miller,Journal of Plankton Research"What could be deadly dull material is enlivened by evocative examples from Kirboe's extensive observations of plankton. . . . One cannot read this book without gaining a much fuller appreciation of how fluid motion influences life in the sea."--New Biological Books
