Abstrakt: The article in the Limnology & Oceanography Bulletin commemorates the life and work of Dian J. Gifford (1948–2024), a pioneering biological oceanographer known for her research on microzooplankton ecology and their role in marine ecosystems. Gifford's contributions include methodology papers on sampling and culturing marine protozooplankton, as well as field studies on copepod feeding and larval ctenophores. She was also involved in major oceanographic projects and was a valued mentor and community member. Beyond her scientific achievements, Gifford was an artist, animal lover, and well-rounded individual who will be deeply missed by her friends and colleagues. [Extracted from the article]
