Abstract
The 18th workshop of the International Associationfor Phytoplankton Taxonomy and Ecology (IAP), thefirst ‘‘tropical’’ IAP ever, the third one outside Europe,and the first one in South America, was held in Natal,Brazil, from August 27 to September 3, 2017, and itsmain ecological theme was thePhytoplankton and itsbiotic interactions.The taxonomic topic of the work-shop was chosen based on function instead ofphylogeny, and to link to the ecological theme of theworkshop, the taxonomic theme was therefore cen-tered on mixotrophic microalgae

From the workshop held at Baja (Hungary) in 1991, each meeting focused on a particular ecological theme, as well as on defined taxonomic topics, which were addressed both in plenary talks and in microscopy sessions
The proceedings of these workshops have been published as peer-reviewed articles, constituting significant contributions in the field of the phytoplankton ecology
