Ciliate epibionts associated with crustacean zooplankton in German lakes: Distribution, motility and bacterivory [PDF]
Frontiers in Microbiology, 2012 Ciliate epibionts associated with crustacean zooplankton are widespread in aquatic systems, but their ecological roles are little known. We studied the occurrence of ciliate epibionts on crustacean zooplankton in nine German lakes with different ...

Quorum-Sensing Signals from Epibiont Mediate the Induction of Novel Microviridins in the Mat-Forming Cyanobacterial Genus Nostoc. [PDF]
mSphere, 2021 The regulation of the production of cyanopeptides beyond microcystin is essential to understand their ecological role in complex microbial communities, e.g., harmful cyanobacterial blooms. The role of chemical communication between the cyanobacterium and

Scientific Reports, 2020 Epibionts often colonize the exoskeleton of crustaceans, which sometimes results in the development of a long-term relationship between them. Our present work confirmed that a specific epibiont is closely associated with the pelagic calanoid copepod ...

Living on the Edge: Variation in the Abundance and Demography of a Kelp Forest Epibiont
Diversity, 2019 The ecology of an epibiont may depend not only on the dynamics of its biogenic habitat but also on microclimate variation generated within aggregations of its host, a process called physical ecosystem engineering.

Epibiont hydroids on beachcast Sargassum in the Mexican Caribbean
PeerJ, 2020 Massive accumulations of pelagic species of Sargassum have generated recent social, economic and ecological problems along Caribbean shores. In the Mexican Caribbean, these events have prompted the study of diverse biological and ecological aspects of ...

Oyster aquaculture impacts Zostera marina epibiont community composition in Akkeshi-ko estuary, Japan. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2018 Coastal fisheries are in decline worldwide, and aquaculture has become an increasingly popular way to meet seafood demand. While finfish aquaculture can have substantial adverse effects on coastal ecosystems due mostly to necessary feed inputs, bivalves ...
