Shells ofPatella asperaas ‘islands’ for epibionts

Journal of the Marine Biological Association of the United Kingdom, 2014
In this study we examined the epibiont assemblage on shells of the living limpetPatella aspera. Limpets were collected at two sites at each of the nine islands of the Azores, totalling 707 individuals examined. Shells were measured and all the epibiota identified to the lowest taxonomic resolution possible.

A hypocrealean epibiont on meristems of Baccharis coridifolia

Mycologia, 1997
In meristem cultures of Baccharis coridifolia, a white slow-growing sterile fungus frequently grows from tissues to cover the explants. Histological studies indicate that this fungus is epibiotic on meristems and grows in the axils of leaf primordia.

Some epibiont‐host and epibiont‐epibiont relationships from the birdsong shale member of the lower Devonian Ross formation (west‐central Tennessee, U.S.A.)

Historical Biology, 1992
The Birdsong Shale member of the Ross Formation (Lower Devonian, Western Tennessee, USA) is a mixed siliciclastic‐carbonate sequence that accumulated on a shallow‐water platform.

The epibionts of Sargassum muticum in British waters

Marine Biology, 1975
This study was initiated by suggestions that the Japanese brown alga Sargassum muticum (Yendo) Fensholt, recently found to be invading shores along the eastern Solent (Southern England), might replace certain common native plants, to the possible detriment of local epibiont communities.

The ecology of protists epibiontic on marine hydroids

Journal of the Marine Biological Association of the United Kingdom, 2008
Several hydroid species have an epibiontic lifestyle, living associated with organisms of many different phyla. On the other hand, hydroids can also host dense assemblages of microflora and microfauna, mainly composed of protists and bacteria. Among protists, diatoms are the most abundant and diversified group, followed by foraminifera and sessile ...

Costs of epibionts on Antarctic sea spiders

Marine Biology, 2018
Nearly all marine animals harbor epibionts, organisms living on their body surfaces. The positive or negative effects that epibionts have on their hosts depend on many factors, including the size and location of the epibionts on their host. The present study examined the effects of epibionts on gas exchange, locomotion, and drag of three species of ...

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.

Carbonate Sediment Production by Sargassum Epibionts

SEPM 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.

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.
