Genetic responses of the marine copepod Acartia tonsa (Dana) to heat shock and epibiont infestation [PDF]

Aquaculture Reports, 2015
Expression of stress-related genes was investigated in the marine copepod Acartia tonsa in relation to heat shock at two different salinities (10 and 32‰), and it was furthermore investigated whether experimentally induced epibiont infestation led to ...

Epibiont Assemblages on Nesting Hawksbill Turtles Show Site-Specificity in the Persian Gulf [PDF]

Frontiers in Ecology and Evolution, 2021
Sea turtle epibionts can provide insights into the hosts' habitat use. However, at present, there is a lack of information on sea turtle epibiont communities in many locations worldwide. Here, we describe the epibiont communities of 46 hawksbill turtles (

Passenger for millenniums: association between stenothermic microcrustacean and suctorian epibiont - the case of Eurytemora lacustris and Tokophyra sp

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 ...

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 ...

First report of Epibiont ciliates (Ciliophora: Peritrichia) living on larvae of Leptophlebiidae (Ephemeroptera) from Brazil [PDF]

Brazilian Archives of Biology and Technology, 2017
Epibiosis was understood as a commensalism relation between two or more organisms. However, some studies have shown that epibionts can cause deleterious effects to their host.

Response of Posidonia oceanica seagrass and its epibiont communities to ocean acidification.

PLoS ONE, 2017
The unprecedented rate of CO2 increase in our atmosphere and subsequent ocean acidification (OA) threatens coastal ecosystems. To forecast the functioning of coastal seagrass ecosystems in acidified oceans, more knowledge on the long-term adaptive ...

<i>Planes</i> on a Snake? On the Identities of Crab Larvae Rafting on Sea Snakes. [PDF]

Ecol Evol
We sequenced COI and 16S rRNA genes from 106 crab megalopae found rafting on the pelagic sea snake Hydrophis platurus to test whether they were the obligate rafting species Planes minutus. Instead, all larvae belonged to three inter‐ to supratidal grapsid crabs—Pachygrapsus socius, Goniopsis pulchra, and Grapsus grapsus—revealing no evidence of Planes.

Long-term trends of epibionts reflect Mediterranean striped dolphin abundance shifts caused by morbillivirus epidemics. [PDF]

J Anim Ecol
This original research piece demonstrates, through empirical and theoretical modelling approaches, that the epibionts of striped dolphins indicate dolphin abundance shifts caused by epidemics of dolphin morbillivirus (DMV). In addition, we provide the first SIR model to investigate the epidemiology of DMV in western Mediterranean striped dolphins ...

A Large-Scale Comparative Metagenomic Study Reveals the Functional Interactions in Six Bloom-Forming Microcystis-Epibiont Communities

Frontiers in Microbiology, 2018
Cyanobacterial blooms are worldwide issues of societal concern and scientific interest. Lake Taihu and Lake Dianchi, two of the largest lakes in China, have been suffering from annual Microcystis-based blooms over the past two decades.

Grounds, Beds, and Reefs of the Endangered Coral <i>Cladocora caespitosa</i> With Description of the Tremiti Reef. [PDF]

Ecol Evol
This study provides an overview of the distribution of the three ecosystem types formed by Cladocora caespitosa and describes newly discovered ones at Tremiti Islands (Adriatic Sea, Italy). The spatial distribution, biometry, size structure, and conservation status of the Cladocora formations have been investigated and compared at the Mediterranean ...
