Elaine Fileman is a Plankton Ecologist at PML with more than 20 years’ research experience in the ecology of microzooplankton and their trophic interactions in the marine food web. Her research interests include the structure and diversity of microzooplankton communities, their role in controlling phytoplankton population growth, their role as a food source for higher trophic levels (in particular copepods and meroplankton) and the transfer of compounds (such as photo-protective MAAs) from the phytoplankton through to micro- and mesozooplankton.
