The cooperation between plankton biologists and fluid dynamists has enhanced our knowledge of life within the plankton communities in ponds, lakes, and seas. This book assembled contributions on plankton-flow interactions, with an emphasis on syntheses and/or predictions. However, a wide range of no...
