商品描述
This volume is a complete review and reference work for scientists, engineers, and students concerned with coral reefs in the Red Sea. It provides an up-to-date review on the geology, ecology, and physiology of coral reef ecosystems in the Red Sea, including data from most recent molecular studies. The Red Sea harbours a set of unique ecological characteristics, such as high temperature, high alkalinity, and high salinity, in a quasi-isolated environment. This makes it a perfect laboratory to study and understand adaptation in regard to the impact of climate change on marine ecosystems. This book can be used as a general reference, guide, or textbook.

本卷是針對關心紅海珊瑚礁的科學家、工程師和學生所編寫的完整回顧與參考書籍。它提供了有關紅海珊瑚礁生態系統的地質學、生態學和生理學的最新回顧，包括來自最新分子研究的數據。紅海擁有一系列獨特的生態特徵，例如高溫、高鹼度和高鹽度，並且處於一個準隔離的環境中。這使得紅海成為研究和理解氣候變遷對海洋生態系統影響的適應性的一個理想實驗室。本書可作為一般參考、指南或教科書使用。
作者簡介
Dr. Voolstra's research interests are in Evolutionary Genomics and Systems Biology of coral reefs. Coral reefs represent one of the most diverse ecosystems in the world. They are, however, extremely fragile and endangered due to human imposed exploitation, pollution, and global warming. An Evolutionary Genomics and Systems Biology approach can add to our understanding of reef ecology and conservation efforts. Dr Voolstra intends to focus on the following research topics: The role of adaptive evolution and coral-specific genes in molecular mechanisms of bleaching and stress; the molecular machinery of mutualism between corals and algae; the role of prokaryotes in these processes. Furthermore, Dr. Voolstra is interested in Biomineralization, Cancer, Ageing, Population Genetics/Genomics, and Genome-wide association studies (GWAS). Dr. Voolstra is an evolutionary biologist by heart that is interested in the big picture by applying whatever techniques are available or by the development of new methods in order to advance research.
Michael L. Berumen: Associate Professor, Marine Science. Biological and Environmental Science and Engineering Division. Center membership: Red Sea Research Center. Research Interests: Larval connectivity and dispersal of reef fishes; movement ecology of reef organisms; biodiversity and evolutionary biology of Red Sea fauna.
作者簡介(中文翻譯)
Dr. Voolstra的研究興趣在於珊瑚礁的演化基因組學和系統生物學。珊瑚礁代表了世界上最具多樣性的生態系統之一。然而，由於人類的開發、污染和全球暖化，珊瑚礁極其脆弱且瀕臨滅絕。演化基因組學和系統生物學的方法可以增進我們對珊瑚礁生態和保育工作的理解。Voolstra博士打算專注於以下研究主題：適應性演化和珊瑚特有基因在漂白和壓力的分子機制中的角色；珊瑚與藻類之間的共生分子機制；原核生物在這些過程中的角色。此外，Voolstra博士對生物礦化、癌症、老化、族群遺傳學/基因組學以及全基因組關聯研究（GWAS）也感興趣。Voolstra博士是一位熱愛演化生物學的科學家，對整體圖景感興趣，並運用可用的各種技術或開發新方法以推進研究。
Michael L. Berumen：副教授，海洋科學。生物與環境科學與工程部門。中心成員：紅海研究中心。研究興趣：珊瑚礁魚類的幼體連通性和擴散；珊瑚礁生物的移動生態學；紅海動物群的生物多樣性和演化生物學。
