The marine neuston, organisms living in the vicinity of the ocean surface, is one of the least studied zooplankton groups. Neuston occupies a restricted ecological niche and is affected by a wide range of endogenous and exogenous processes while also being a food source to zooplankton fish migrating from the deep layers and seabirds.[1]

The neuston, one of the less described and known aquatic ecological groups, is paradoxically the closest to our sampling platforms as it inhabits the upper centimeters of the ocean. The term neuston was coined in 1972 [2] to define the pelagic organisms that occupy the vicinity of the surface layer, albeit often in a temporally-restricted and variable manner. Neuston occupies a delimited ecological niche and is generally grouped into three ecological categories: (a) euneuston: organisms with maximum abundance in the vicinity of the surface on which they reside day and night; (b) facultative neuston: organisms concentrating at the surface only during certain hours of the day, usually during darkness; and (c) pseudoneuston: organisms with maximum concentrations at deeper layers but reaching the surface layer at least during certain hours.[3] The neustonic community structure is conditioned by sunlight and an array of endogenous (organic matter, respiratory, photosynthetic, decompositional processes) and exogenous (atmospheric deposition, inorganic matter, winds, wave action, precipitation, UV radiation, oceanic currents, surface temperature) variables and processes affecting nutrient inputs and recycling.[3][4][5] Furthermore, the neuston provides a food source to the zooplankton migrating from deeper layers to the surface,[2] as well as to seabirds roaming over the oceans.[6] For these reasons, the neustonic community is believed to play a critical role on the structure and function of marine food webs. Yet, research on neuston communities to date focused predominantly on geographically-limited regions of the ocean [7][2][8][9][5] or coastal areas.[10][11][12] Consequently, neuston complexity is still poorly understood as studies on the community structure and the taxonomical composition of organisms inhabiting this ecological niche remain few,[5] and global scale analyses are yet lacking.[1]

The neustonic animals form a subset of the zooplankton community, which plays a pivotal role in the functioning of marine ecosystems. Zooplankton are partially responsible for the active energy flux between superficial and deep layers of the ocean.[13][14][15] Zooplankton species composition, biomass, and secondary production influence a wide range of trophic levels in marine communities, as they constitute a link between primary production and secondary consumers.[16][17][18] Copepods constitute the most abundant zooplankton taxon in terms of biomass and diversity worldwide;[19][20] therefore, changes in their community composition can thus impact the biogeochemical cycles [21] and might be indicative of climate variability impacts on ecosystem functioning.[22][1]

Historically, zooplankton assemblages research has focused mainly on taxonomic studies and those related to community structure.[23] However, recently, research has veered toward an alternative trait-based approach,[23][17][24] providing a perspective more focused on groups of species with analogous functional traits. This allows individuals to be classified into types characterized by the presence/absence of certain alleles of a gene, into size classes, ecological guilds, or functional groups (FGs).[25] Functional traits are phenotypes affecting organism fitness, growth, survival, and reproductive ability.[26][18] These are regulated by the expression of genes within species, and the expression of traits regulate, in turn, the species fitness under contrasting biotic and abiotic circumstances.[27] Moreover, a specific functional trait can also develop from the interactions between other traits and environmental conditions,[19] leading to a given trait grouping being favored under certain conditions. Zooplankton traits can be classified in accordance to ecological functions – feeding, growth, reproduction, survival, and other characteristics such as morphology, physiology, behavior, or life history.[16][28][29] Particularly, feeding strategies and trophic groups are relevant to ascertain feeding efficiency and associated predation risk.[30] Additionally, they facilitate the understanding of ecosystem services associated with zooplankton, such as the distribution of fisheries or biogeochemical cycling [31] while also allowing the positioning of zooplankton taxa in the food web.[17][32][1]
