A checklist of ciliate epibionts (Ciliophora) found on bryozoans

Zootaxa, 2020
A compilation of the ciliate (Ciliophora) species found on marine and fresh water bryozoans as epibionts has been carried out based on published records. The checklist includes the taxonomic position of each species of epibiontic ciliate, the species of basibiont bryozoans, localities and the bibliographic references. Altogether 40 ciliate species from

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 ...

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.

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.

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 ...

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.

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.

Lost & Found: 248. Epibionts on trilobites

Geological Curator, 1998
Patrick Wyse Jackson (address above) [e-mail: wysjcknp@tcd.ie]) and Marcus Key, Jr. (Department of Geology, Dickinson College, P.O. Box 1773, Carlisle, Pennsylvania 17013-2896, U.S.A. [e-mail: key@dickinson.edu]) write: In recent years a number of papers have examined the distribution of epibionts (serpulid worms, bivalves, corals, bryozoans etc) on ...

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.

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.
