Contents:
Introduction -- Cyanophyta (= Cyanobacteria) -- Prochlorophyta -- Glaucophyta -- Rhodophyta (red algae) -- Heterokontophyta: Classes (1) Chrysophyceae, (2) Parmophyceae, and (3) Sarcinochrysidophyceae -- Heterokontophyta: Class Xanthophyceae -- Heterokontophyta: Class Eustigmatophyceae -- Heterokontophyta: Class Bacillariophyceae (= Diatomophyceae; the diatoms) -- Heterokontophyta: Class Raphidophyceae -- Heterokontophyta: Class Dictyochophyceae -- Heterokontophyta: Class Phaeophyceae (brown algae) -- Reflections on the phylogeny of the Heterokontophyta -- Haptophyta (= Prymnesiophyta) -- Cryptophyta -- Dinophyta -- Euglenophyta -- Chlorarachniophyta -- Chlorophyta (green algae) -- Chlorophyta: Class 1. Prasinophyceae -- Chlorophyta: Class 2. Chlorophyceae -- Chlorophyta: Class 3. Ulvophyceae -- Chlorophyta: Class 4. Cladophorophyceae --
Chlorophyta: Class 5. Bryopsidophyceae -- Chlorophyta: Class 6. Dasycladophyceae -- Chlorophyta: Class 7. Trentepohliophyceae -- Chlorophyta: Class 8. Pleurastrophyceae, and the order Prasiolales (Appendix to the classes with an 11 o'clock - 5 o'clock configuration of the basal bodies) -- Chlorophyta: Class 9. Klebsormidiophyceae -- Chlorophyta: Class 10. Zygnematophyceae -- Chlorophyta: Class 11. Charophyceae -- Reflections on the phylogeny of the Chlorophyta -- Phylogenetic reflections on the algae.
Summary: Algae are ubiquitous. A multitude of species, ranging from microscopic unicells to gigantic kelps, inhabit the world's oceans, freshwaters, soils, rocks and trees. To understand the basic role of algae in the global ecosystem, a reliable and modern introduction to their kaleidoscopic diversity, systematics and phylogeny is indispensable. This volume provides such an introduction.
