The first-ever book devoted to the chemical ecology of algae covers both marine and freshwater habitats and all types of algae, from seaweeds to phytoplankton. While the book emphasizes the ecological rather than chemical aspects of the field, it does include a unique introductory chapter that serves as a primer on algal natural products chemistry. The book elucidates the roles of chemical defenses in various regions and habitats, DMSP, oxidative burst responses, and herbivore offense. Topics such as algal sensory chemical ecology and defenses against ultraviolet radiation are also treated. Focusing on recent advances, the book is designed for students and research biologists working in the field as well as marine ecologists and algal biologists seeking an introductory guide.
