Protistology provides a comprehensive overview on recent developments in understanding the diversity of cell biology, genomic processes, parasite-host interactions, and the evolution of eukaryotes. The book is the first modern treatise on these organisms, walking readers through protistology’s diversity and classification. This book is an ideal supplemental text for upper-level undergraduates and graduate students in microbial ecology, freshwater and marine biology, soil ecology, environmental sciences, or those looking to initiate a course in protistology.

Dr. Sina Adl, has been a university Professor since 2002. He graduated with a PhD from the University of British Columbia in Vancouver, Canada, in 1998. His research has been in 1) protist diversity and classification; 2) soil ecology and sustainable agriculture; 3) soil food webs and community structure; 4) global soil biodiversity and biogeography. He is a past-President of the International Society of Protistologists (an umbrella society for various national and related disciplinary societies). He has taught Microbial Diversity, Microbial Ecology, Comparative Protistology, Soil Ecology, and Global Food Security (from a sustainable agriculture perspective). He is the founding editor, and Editor-in-Chief of Rhizosphere (Elsevier), a soil ecology journal.
