Taxonomy within this class is based on the ultrastructure of the silica scales and bristles, and electron microscopy is in most cases necessary for the identification. Even though the 128 taxa occurring in Europe are emphasized and details of their distribution are given, the volume includes all taxa described worldwide. Thus it is possible to identify all 212 taxa with a high degree of certainty (i.e., 180 taxa of \u003ci\u003eMallomonas\u003c\/i\u003e, 30 taxa of \u003ci\u003eSynura\u003c\/i\u003e, plus the single species of \u003ci\u003eChrysodidymus\u003c\/i\u003e and \u003ci\u003eTessellaria\u003c\/i\u003e). \r\n\r\nThe importance of this book lies in four main fields:\r\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eIt can be used for the identification of synurophycean taxa in all parts of the world.\u003c\/li\u003e\r\n\u003cli\u003eIt will be of particular significance in phytoplankton investigations on diversity and ecology of lakes and ponds. \u003c\/li\u003e\r\n\u003cli\u003eMany species can serve as ecological indicators, and the species-specific silica scales and cysts preserved in sediments can be useful paleobiological indicators for reconstructing a wide variety of human influences on aquatic ecosystems, including acidification, eutrophication and climate change. \u003c\/li\u003e\r\n\u003cli\u003eLast but not least, the book gives a solid basis for further taxonomical studies based on gene sequences. \u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\r\n\r\nThis is the first modern world-comprehensive book on the subject.
