Marine Plankton: A Practical Guide to Ecology, Methodology, and Taxonomy

This is a practical guide to the taxonomy and identification of planktonic organisms, which also provides a general introduction to plankton biology and incorporates the latest techniques in plankton ecology.

Claudia Castellani is a marine biologist at the Sir Alister Hardy Foundation for Ocean Science (SAHFOS) where she teaches and conducts research on plankton ecology, physiology, and taxonomy. Her research focuses on the biological mechanisms determining the spatial and temporal changes in marine zooplankton species abundance and productivity through the combined study of their morphology, eco-physiology and genetic. Claudia is also a member of the ICES Working Group of Zooplankton Ecology (WGZE) and the co-editor of the ICES plankton taxonomy leaflets. In her spare time Claudia enjoys playing recreational and competitive tennis.

Martin Edwards is a marine macroecologist whose primary research interests are on environmental change impacts on marine ecosystems ranging from marine biodiversity, biogeographical and phenological changes to whole ecosystem regime shifts. He is currently Chief Scientist at the Sir Alister Hardy Foundation for Ocean Science (SAHFOS) and Professor of Ocean Ecology at Plymouth University.
