Freshwater Algae of North America: Ecology and Classification, Second Edition is an authoritative and practical treatise on the classification, biodiversity, and ecology of all known genera of freshwater algae from North America. The book provides essential taxonomic and ecological information about one of the most diverse and ubiquitous groups of organisms on earth. This single volume brings together experts on all the groups of algae that occur in fresh waters (also soils, snow, and extreme inland environments). In the decade since the first edition, there has been an explosion of new information on the classification, ecology, and biogeography of many groups of algae, with the use of molecular techniques and renewed interest in biological diversity. Accordingly, this new edition covers updated classification information of most algal groups and the reassignment of many genera and species, as well as new research on harmful algal blooms.

Dr. John Patrick Kociolek is Professor of Ecology and Evolutionary Biology with University of Colorado's Museum of Natural History. He obtained his MSc from Bowling Green State University and his PhD from University of Michigan Ann Arbor. His research focuses on the taxonomy, systematics, evolution, biogeography, and ecology of diatoms. He brings more than 35 years of experience to the study of freshwater diatoms spanning the United States, South America, Europe, China, Southeast Asia, and India.
