Choanoflagellates are the closest known living, unicellular relatives of animals. This landmark book presents a unique, comprehensive discussion of choanoflagellates with respect to their ultrastructure, silicon utilisation for skeletal purposes, contribution to microbial food webs, and molecular phylogeny. Also included is a novel account of the production of the basket-like lorica.
