Molecular Probes in Marine Ecology: Concepts, Techniques and Applications.
Abstract
Ecology interfaces with and depends upon many scientific disciplines. Ecological issues touch all of humanity, with a wide range of concerns. How can scientists address and provide guidance in the solution of such problems? Many significant steps have already been taken, involving many scientists and many initiatives. Among these, the investigation and understanding of marine ecosystems can be viewed as one of the most important. By virtue of its buffering capacity for many physical and chemical variables, and because of its biological productivity, the ocean is central to both the realities of the issues and the understanding of the problems. During the past decade, developments in the area of molecular biology, biotechnology, immunology and microsensing techniques have revolutionized many areas of biological sciences. We designed this course for graduate students, postdoctoral fellows and established investigators who wish to learn these several techniques and their applications to physiological and ecological investigations. The six week course was organized around three three-week long modules.
