Covers the effects of environmental stressors and metabolic drivers of harmful algal blooms (HABs), Harmful Algal Blooms: Environmental Factors and Molecular Mechanisms offers a genomic and ecological perspective of harmful algal blooms (HABs). It provides the most updated and comprehensive knowledge crucial for understanding the causes of HABs and synthesizes foundational knowledge with recent discoveries. Written by an expert in algal molecular ecology, this book blends molecular biology, physiology, and ecology to examine how harmful algae thrive on environmental conditions like climate change. After introducing historical ecological models, the book delves into the influencing factors and underlying molecular mechanisms of HABs. It also explores an integrated molecular approach to incorporate energy, nutrients, defenses, and sexual reproduction (ENDS) to elucidate key drivers of HAB growth. Harmful Algal Blooms: Environmental Factors and Molecular Mechanisms is an important resource for researchers and students in marine biology and ecology fields, as well as phycological and environmental studies. Key Features, Provides foundational knowledge and the latest discoveries for understanding and preventing the spread of harmful algal blooms, Details harmful algae and its molecular biology, genomics, physiology, and ecology, Offers molecular ecological approaches and molecular techniques for researching harmful algae.
