No Effects and No Control of Epibionts in Two Species of Temperate Pycnogonids

The Biological Bulletin, 2016
Essentially all surfaces of marine plants and animals host epibionts. These organisms may harm their hosts in a number of ways, including impeding gas exchange or increasing the costs of locomotion. Epibionts can also be beneficial. For example, they may camouflage their hosts, and photosynthetic epibionts can produce oxygen.

A checklist of species of Vorticellidae (Ciliophora: Peritrichia) epibionts of crustaceans

Zootaxa, 2018
The family Vorticellidae includes 21 genera, mainly with species worldwide distributed, as free-living, and attached to diverse organisms as epibionts. The goal of this paper is to provide an updated checklist of the worldwide vorticellids reported attached to the crustaceans.

Hitchhiking on Pennsylvanian Echinoids: Epibionts on Archaeocidaris

PALAIOS, 2003
Abstract Thousands of aggregating Archaeocidaris echinoids, many with Crurithyris planoconvexa brachiopods and fenestellid and encrusting bryozoan epibionts on their spines, occur in a Pennsylvanian (Missourian) echinoderm Lagerstatte in the Winchell Formation of north-central Texas.

Carbonate sediment production by Sargassum epibionts

Journal of Sedimentary Research, 1985
Abstract Sargassum and associated calcareous epibionts were collected at sea and on a Bermuda beach. The weight percent of calcium carbonate produced by epibionts averaged 9.4% for samples collected at sea and 5.3% for beached samples. This indicates that Sargassum epibionts are a major potential source of carbonate sediment.

Protistan epibionts of the ctenophore Mnemiopsis mccradyi Mayer

Hydrobiologia, 2001
Mnemiopsis mccradyi, a common coastal ctenophore, was observed to bear two distinct, exclusive assemblages of protistan epibionts. The mobiline peritrich, Trichodina ctenophorii (Estes et al., 1997), and small Flabellula-like gymnamoebae inhabited only the surface of the comb plates.

Controlling Epibiont Pests

This project is the second phase of understanding stalked ciliates on their impact on bivalves. The first phase (FRG-2022-07) identified the types of stalked ciliates as primarily Suctorian spp. In the second phase, we wanted to explore methods of mitigation to determine if there is a more effective treatment for ridding these infestations and also ...

Epibiont communities on mid-Cretaceous Burmese amber

Palaeoentomology
The mid-Cretaceous Burmese amber was extensively colonized by marine epibiont communities, including pholadids, corals, oysters, and serpulids. In this study, we report a diverse array of marine organisms that adhered to the amber, forming epibiont communities.

AN ANNOTATED CHECKLIST OF EPIBIONT CILIATE _ Zoothamnium

2021
A checklist of one of the epibionts ciliates of the genus Zoothamnium with all relevant information has been prepared by consulting the available literatures on Zoothamnium of all continents. This checklist will be helpful for further research in this area. This check list contains 57 species of Zoothamnium.
