Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Microphotography of aquatic microorganisms belonging to phytoplankton and zooplankton produces exciting images that reveal the morphological diversity and complexity of these organisms, their extraordinary life strategies, and distinct ecological adaptations. These characteristics may include, but are not limited to, unique outer and inner structures, such as spines, scales, flagella, sheaths, and casings; rare life history stages, such as cysts, resting eggs, and resting spores; and ecological adaptations, such as colonies, mucilaginous layers, and symbiosis-facilitating formations. The depiction and display of such images have historically facilitated the proliferation of knowledge on several aspects of phytoplankton and zooplankton taxonomy, life histories, and ecology. This Special Issue aspires to collect short notes with illustrations, produced with classical microphotography and novel imaging technologies, portraying the spectacular world of phytoplankton and zooplankton.
