This book offers a comprehensive, unique and up-to-date exploration of diatom ecology spanning from fundamental molecular aspects to the intricate dynamics of metacommunities.
In recent years there has been a considerable increase in the amount of research devoted to diatom ecology, with a wide spectrum of approaches. This large amount of information, published in many different journals and books, makes it very difficult to keep up to date, both for the trained researcher and for students. Eduardo A. Morales (d. May 2023) had the original idea to assemble chapters on various subjects within diatom ecology. The questions he posed to potential contributors framed the current book consisting of 12 chapters.
Audience The book is intended primarily for professionals in the fields of diatom research, algal research (phycology), organismal, population and community ecology, limnology, microbiology, organismal biology, paleoecology and paleolimnology. The book will also serve as a reference for graduate students seeking guidance on terminology, techniques, and current methods in diatom research.
Nora I. Maidana, PhD, is an expert on diatom taxonomy. She works at Universidad de Buenos Aires as a consultant adjunct professor and at Consejo Nacional de Investigaciones Científicas y Técnicas (CONICET) as principal researcher. She is an invited lecturer at various institutions in Argentina, Brazil, Chile, México, Germany, Spain, Perú, and Uruguay. Her research focuses on taxonomy and diversity of freshwaters and brackish water diatoms, and their use as bioindicators in paleolimnology and forensic sciences.
Magdalena Licursi, PhD, is an expert on freshwater diatom ecology. She works at Instituto Nacional de Limnología 'INALI' (CONICET-UNL) as associate researcher of the Consejo Nacional de Investigaciones Científicas y Técnicas (CONICET). She has collaborated and published with colleagues from Belgium, France, Spain, and Colombia on international projects. Her research focuses on ecology and diversity of freshwater diatoms, and their use as bioindicators in the assessment of water quality.
Eduardo A. Morales, PhD, was an expert on diatom taxonomy and ecology. He worked at several US, Bolivian, Brazilian and Argentinian institutions as a researcher, taxonomy coordinator, instructor and invited lecturer. He was also Curator of the Cryptogams Herbarium, Bolivian Catholic University in Cochabamba, Bolivia. His research focused on taxonomy and diversity of araphid diatoms of freshwater, brackish and marine environments.
Eduardo Antonio Morales Luizaga (November 20, 1968 - May 19, 2023) was a distinguished biologist and educator, born in Argentina and proudly holding Bolivian citizenship. His academic journey was characterized by an unwavering commitment to advancing the field of ecology and fostering knowledge both locally and internationally.
Eduardo's educational achievements included a bachelor's degree in Biology from the University Mayor de San Simón in 1993. Seeking global perspectives, he pursued higher education in the United States, earning a Master of Science in Ecology from the University of Connecticut in 1997 and a PhD in Ecology in 2000. Eduardo's dedication to learning was further demonstrated by his Diplomat in Higher Education from the Universidad Católica Boliviana in 2008.
Throughout his career, Eduardo held various positions that showcased his expertise and passion for ecology. He served as a lecturer at the Universidad Católica Boliviana, Cochabamba, Bolivia, and took on the role of curator at the Cryptogamic Herbarium within the same institution. Additionally, he contributed significantly as an associate researcher at the Phycology Section of the Patrick Center for Environmental Research, Academy of Natural Sciences of Drexel University in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, USA.
Eduardo's commitment to international collaboration was evident in his participation in numerous graduate courses and workshops spanning several countries. Notable among these were workshops on taxonomy, limnology, freshwater phytoplankton, and the harmonization of algal taxonomy in the United States and Latin America.
With a wealth of experience, Eduardo held key roles in academia and research. He played a pivotal part in the National Water Quality Assessment Program, serving as the taxonomy coordinator and analyst. As a research scientist at the Diatom Laboratory in the Phycology Section, Patrick Center for Environmental Research, he led workshops and contributed significantly to projects on river and lake diatoms in the continental United States.
Eduardo's dedication to education extended beyond borders. He served as an invited lecturer and associate researcher in Bolivia, impacting the scientific community and inspiring future generations. His roles as a lecturer in various biology and ecology courses at the Universidad Católica Boliviana highlighted his commitment to knowledge dissemination.
In recognition of his contributions, Eduardo was an active member of several professional societies, including the Northeast Algal Society, Bolivian Limnological Society, Bolivian Scientific Society, Latin American and Caribbean Phycological Society, and Peruvian Phycological Society.
Eduardo received numerous honors, awards, and distinctions, such as the Fulbright Scholarship, Francis Rice Trainor Scholarship Award, and multiple staff education and development grants from the Academy of Natural Sciences of Philadelphia. His legacy continues through ongoing grants and research projects, where he focused on assessing diatom diversity in Bolivian cloud forests and studying algal biodiversity in various regions of Bolivia.
His impact on the scientific community, his commitment to education, and his contributions to environmental research leave an enduring legacy that will inspire future generations in Bolivia and beyond.
