Cellular Dialogues in the Holobiont

This book examines protist-, animal- or plant-bacterial interactions and symbioses. These symbioses rely on continuous cell-to-cell communications. The goals of this book are to explore, explain and expose these dialogues across a broad spectrum of plant and animal eukaryotes to a broad field of biologists.

Thomas C. G. Bosch studied Biology at the Univboschersity of Munich and Swansea University College in the UK from 1976 to 1983. He earned his doctorate from the University of Munich in 1986. From 1986 to 1988, Bosch held a postdoctoral position at the University of California, Irvine, USA. After a position as research associate at the University of Munich, he was appointed to professorship for Zoology at the Friedrich Schiller University of Jena in 1997. Since 2000 Bosch is Professor of General Zoology at Kiel University. Bosch is Senior Fellow of the Canadian Institute of Advanced Research (CIFAR). From 2010 to 2013 he served as Vice-President of Kiel University and was responsible for Kiel University's institutional strategy and international relations. Since November 2013 Bosch is heading the interdisciplinary research center "Kiel Life Science" (KLS) at Kiel University. Bosch is spokesperson of the Collaborative Research Center (CRC/SFB 1182) "Origin and Function of Metaorganisms" (2016-2019) which addresses the relatively newly recognized role of multi-organismic interactions for health and disease. Bosch also is Editor-in-Chief of "Zoology". He currently (2016/2017) is President of the German Society of Developmental Biology (GfE) and a member of several national and international Academic Committees and Boards. He is Senior Fellow of the Canadian Institute for Advanced Research (CIFAR) and fellow of the Wissenschaftskolleg zu Berlin. His awards include a Dr. honoris causa degree from St. Petersburg State University, Russia (2004). Michael G. Hadfield received B.A. and M.S. degrees in Zoology from the University of Washington and then spent a year as a Fulbright Fellow studying larval biology at the Marine Biological Laboratory of the University of Copenhagen. He received a Ph.D. in Biological Sciences at Stanford University presenting a dissertation on the reproduction and development of marine gastropods, a study that involved field research, laboratory observations and experiments, and electron microscopy. After spending two years teaching at Pomona College in southern California, he joined the faculty at the Kewalo Marine Laboratory of the University of Hawaii. His research has focused on development of marine invertebrate animals, especially the complex processes of larval metamorphosis and the factors that stimulate metamorphosis. For the last 20 years, these studies have increasingly focused on the mechanisms by which specific biofilm bacterial species stimulate larval settlement and metamorphosis and the larval responses to those stimuli. Now Professor of Biology Emeritus, he continues to direct an active research group at the Kewalo Marine Lab of the Pacific Biosciences Research Center. He has trained 10 M.S. and 21 Ph.D. students and a large number of postdoctoral fellows. He has also served since 1999 as director of an undergraduate research-mentoring program for Hawaiian and Pacific Island students, with support for the National Science Foundation. In addition to his research interests in the development of marine invertebrate animals, Dr. Hadfield has maintained a separate research program focused on the evolutionary biology and conservation of endangered Hawaiian and Marianas Islands tree snails. Dr. Hadfield has served as Director of the Kewalo Marine Lab, Chair of the Hawaii Natural Areas Reserves Commission, President of the Society for Integrative and Comparative Biology and the Western Society of Naturalists, and is a Fellow of the American Association for the Advancement of Science. Research in the Hadfield lab has been supported by grants from the National Science Foundation, the Office of Naval Research, the Oak Foundation, the Gordon and Betty Moore Foundation, and the Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency (DARPA) in the last decade.
