Navarro's book Compact Data Structures is an excellent survey of this literature! https://www.cambridge.org/core/books/compact-data-structures...

I love the perspective of computing the information theoretic lower bounds for a data structure and then trying to achieve that with as little overhead as possible while still supporting efficient operations on the structure.
