This book aims at providing students and researchers an advanced integrative overview on zooplankton ecology, covering marine and freshwater organisms, from microscopic phagotrophic protists, to macro-jellyfishes and active fish larvae. The first book section addresses zooplanktonic organisms and processes, the second section is devoted to zooplankton spatial and temporal distribution patterns and trophic dynamics, and the final section is dedicated to emergent methodological approaches (e.g., omics). Book chapters include comprehensive synthesis, observational and manipulative studies, and sediment-based analysis, a vibrant imprint of benthic-pelagic coupling and ecosystem connectivity. Most chapters also address the impacts of anticipated environmental changes (e.g., warming, acidification).

M. Alexandra Teodósio is an Associate Professor at the University of Algarve, Portugal, where she is Coordinator of the Research Group ECOREACH Ecology and Restoration of Riverine, Estuarine and Coastal habitats in the Marine Sciences Centre (CCMAR). She is the co-coordinator of the master programme in Marine Biology and in Biodiversity and Conservation.
She is Associate Editor of the Estuarine Coastal Shelf Science Journal. She has supervised six PhD students, 20 masters students, and over 30 undergraduates. Her major research interests include the nutritional condition of fisish larvae in coastal ecosystems, and the effects of global changes, namely jellyfish species invasions and acidification in planktonic communities.
She is member of the Expertpanel BIO3: Biodiversity and Ecology of the Research Foundation-Flanders (FWO), and she is also a panel member of Marine Sciences to the Portuguese Research Foundation (FCT). She has been involved in 22 European and national funded research projects. She has published 75 peer-reviewed research articles, and has contributed to six book chapters. H- Index (Scopus): 23
