About the Book

A volume entirely devoted to the nonaxonemal structures and functions of eukaryotic cilia and flagella. The fifteen chapters cover a wide spectrum of organisms (from protozoa and algae to birds and mammals) and an equally wide spectrum of topics (from sexual interactions in the algae to the binding
