Zervoudaki Soultana is a Researcher at the Institute of Oceanography in Hellenic Centre for Marine Research -H.C.M.R. She assumed her duties in December 2006.Soultana Zervoudaki completed her doctoral training on mesozooplankton ecology and ecophysiology in University of Athens (Section of Biology). Her main research interest is the mesozooplankton ecology: (a) taxonomy, (b) horizontal and vertical distribution of mesozooplankton communities, (c) seasonal and interannual variability of mesozooplankton in coastal and offshore areas and (d) influence of environmental parameters (hydrology, food availability and pollution) to mesozooplankton.In addition, her research involve physiology of major groups of mesozooplankton (a) Copepod egg production, (b) faecal pellet production of copepods and tunicates, (c) grazing of copepods and tunicates using different methods, (d) effect of toxic phytoplankton on the grazing and production of copepods, (e) estimation of carbon flow in the pelagic food web and vertical carbon flux (f) resting eggs of zooplankton in the sediment and (g) copepod response on ocean acidification.Soultana Zervoudaki has participated in more than 30 funded research projects, 11 of which she coordinated the plankton group. She is member of CIESM Zooplankton Group, ICES Zooplankton ecology working Group, and REMPEC for ballast water management. She has collaborated with several laboratories: National Enviromental Research Institute (Denmark), University of Gothenburg (Sweden), Institute of Oceanology (Russia), University of Lecce (Italy), University of Vigo (Spain), IFM-GEOMAR (Germany), METU (Turkey), Institut de Ciències del Mar (Spain).
