MessageBalogh International - New Spring Titles #2

Taxonomic Studies of the Genera Cyclotella (Kützing) Brébisson, Discostella Houk et Klee and Puncticulata Hakansson in the Family Sephanodiscaceae Glezer et Makarova (Bacillariophyta) in Japan. (Bibliotheca Diatomologica, Band 53). Hiroyuki Tanaka. 2007. ISBN: 978-3-443-57044-6. 204 pp., 70 plates. Paperback. $109.00

Aquatic Photosynthesis: Second Edition. Paul G. Falkowski & John A. Raven. 2007. ISBN: 978-0-691-11550-4. 500 pp., 8 color plates, 10 halftones, 145 line illustrations, 22 tables. Hardcover. $99.50
Aquatic Photosynthesis is a comprehensive guide to understanding the evolution and ecology of photosynthesis in aquatic environments. This second edition, thoroughly revised to bring it up to date, describes how one of the most fundamental metabolic processes evolved and transformed the surface chemistry of the Earth. The book focuses on recent biochemical and biophysical advances and the molecular biological techniques that have made them possible.
In ten chapters that are self-contained but that build upon information presented earlier, the book starts with a reductionist, biophysical description of the photosynthetic reactions. It then moves through biochemical and molecular biological patterns in aquatic photoautotrophs, physiological and ecological principles, and global biogeochemical cycles. The book considers applications to ecology, and refers to historical developments.

Methods in Stream Ecology, 2nd Edition. Richard Hauer and Gary Lamberti. Due late June 2007. ISBN: 9780123329080. 896 pp. Hardcover. $49.95
Methods in Stream Ecology provies a complete series of field and laboratory protocols in stream ecology that are ideal for teaching or conducting research. This new edition is updated to reflect recent advances in the technology associated with ecological assessment of streams, including remote sensing. In addition, the relationship between stream flow and alluviation has been added, and a new chapter on riparian zones is also included. With a student-friendly price, this Second Edition is key for all students and researchers in stream and freshwater ecology, freshwater biology, marine ecology, and river ecology. This text is also supportive as a supplementary text for courses in watershed ecology/science, hydrology, fluvial geomorphology, and landscape ecology.

Common freshwater diatoms of Britain and Ireland: An interactive identification key. Martyn Kelly & Richard Telford. April/May 2007. ISBN: 978-1-84432-705-8. CD-ROM. $199.00 (with overseas airfreight included in price)
This key covers those diatom taxa (>300) most likely to be encountered by Environment Agency staff and others involved in routine monitoring. It also incorporates the functionality to expand the database to cover some of the other ~2,500 species of freshwater diatoms recorded from Britain and Ireland, and to take account of any future changes in diatom taxonomy.
This is an interactive multi access key/tool for the identification of diatoms of Britain and Ireland. Diatoms are a group of algae, used for monitoring water quality and ecological status of rivers and lakes. Diatoms are one of the biological monitoring elements used in the Environment Agency (and SEPA, EHS) from 2006, as required by the Water Framework Directive for ecological monitoring and classification purposes. This key is integral to implementing the diatom methods, used in diatom identification training programmes
leading to accredited analysts, for robust reporting of diatom data. The CD-ROM is based on the Lucid software, developed by the
University of Queensland in Australia.  The key itself is multi-access, rather than dichotomous. An important benefit of this approach is that the set of attributes can be much broader than is the case for a traditional key. For diatoms, it is possible to include information on the characteristics of "live" diatoms alongside attributes seen only in "cleaned" material, allowing the key to work in a wider range of situations than was the case in previous keys.
