The Biology and Ecology of Tintinnid Ciliates: Models for Marine Plankton Edited by Dolan, Montagnes, Agatha, Coats and Stoecker Hardcover. 304 pp. Wiley. $149.95 Planktonic protists represent an substantial amount of diversity: ecological, morphological and genetic.

Compared to other groups of planktonic protists, literature on tintinnid ciliates is substantial and detailed. This volume, written for audiences who range from advanced undergraduates to experienced researchers, synthesizes knowledge concerning anatomy and systematics, physiology, behavior, ecology (including ecological roles, predators, parasites, biogeography and cysts) and fossil history.
