Beskrivning

A compendium of molecular biology applications for the study of aquatic community ecology, this collection presents the diversity of approaches that have been used, and provides future directions for the study of "molecular ecology" of aquatic communities, from viruses to fish, and in aquatic systems ranging from freshwater streams and lakes to estuaries and oceans.
