Diversity, 2020 Sea turtles migrate thousands of miles annually between foraging and breeding areas, carrying dozens of epibiont species with them on their journeys. Most sea turtle epibiont studies have focused on large-sized organisms, those visible to the naked eye ...

Omni-Akuatika, 2023 Seagrass ecosystems have been indicated as the new hotspots of microplastics (MPs) in the marine environment. This work aimed at determining the potential of microplastics and epibionts accumulation on Enhalus acoroides leaves at the coast of Mare Island

New record of Thecacineta calix (Ciliophora, Suctorea) from Florida coast, Gulf of Mexico
Acta Biologica, 2020 The suctorian ciliate Thecacineta calix is reported off the coast of Panama, Florida (USA) epibiont on meiobenthic harpacticoid copepod. This is the first report of T. calix from Florida coast.

Growth of abalone (Haliotis discus hannai) in cages using epibiont control measures
Fisheries and Aquatic Sciences, 2021 In this study, the relationship between the growth of abalone and the presence of epibionts was investigated in abalone cultured in Goheung, Jeollanam-do, where there are severe problems high water temperatures and

The Role of Invasion Status and Taxon of Basibionts in Marine Community Structure
Frontiers in Ecology and Evolution, 2022 Studies on non-native epibionts typically focus on the organismal-level impacts of epibiosis on basibionts, rather than community-level impacts of this relationship.

Bryozoan-macroalgal interactions:do epibionts benefit? [PDF]
Marine Ecology Progress Series, 1996 Many bryozoans, exemplified by species of Membranipora, are obligate epiphytes. We used laboratory and field experiments to ascertain whether colonies of Membranipora isabelleana benefit from contact with the fronds and exudates of Lessonia trabeculata, their natural substratum in central Chile.

New records of suctorians (Ciliophora: Suctoria) as epibionts of aquatic true bugs (Hemiptera: Prosorrhyncha: Nepomorpha) from two regions: Mexico and Eastern Europe [PDF]
, 2011 Here, we provide new records of suctorians (Ciliophora: Suctoria), epibionts of aquatic true bugs (Hemiptera: Prosorrhyncha: Nepomorpha) collected in Ukraine, Belarus and Mexico.

Hydrodynamic Interactions Between Macroalgae and Their Epibionts
Frontiers in Marine Science, 2022 Macroalgae provide surfaces where other organisms live. Unlike organisms on rigid substrata, epibionts on host macroalgae sit on flexible surfaces that bend, stretch, and move in turbulent water currents and waves. We used blade-like red algae,Mazzaella splendens, and encrusting bryozoans,Membranipora membranacea, to investigate the biomechanical and ...

Diatom Diversity on the Skin of Frozen Historic Loggerhead Sea Turtle Specimens
Diversity, 2020 In recent years, biofilm-forming diatoms have received increased attention as sea turtle epibionts. However, most of the research has focused on carapace-associated taxa and communities, while less is known about diatoms growing on sea turtle skin.

Frontiers in Ecology and Evolution, 2021 Sea turtles are exposed to numerous threats during migrations to their foraging grounds and at those locations. Therefore, information on sea turtle foraging and spatial ecology can guide conservation initiatives, yet it is difficult to directly observe ...
