Hitchhikers on an Invader: The Parasitic Leech <i>Myzobdella lugubris</i> and the Epibiotic Barnacle <i>Amphibalanus improvisus</i> on the Atlantic Blue Crab <i>Callinectes sapidus</i> in Southwestern Europe. [PDF]

Ecol Evol
This study documents the first worldwide record of the parasitic leech Myzobdella lugubris and the commensal barnacle Amphibalanus improvisus associated with invasive Atlantic blue crabs (Callinectes sapidus) in southwestern Europe. Molecular analyses confirmed the identity of these Western Atlantic native species, highlighting a complex multi‐level co‐

Variation in epibiont communities among restocked giant clam species (Cardiidae: Tridacninae) and across different habitat types [PDF]

, 2023
Giant clam shells provide a solid substrate for various species of epibionts. Yet, it is not well known how epibiont communities vary among populations of different giant clam species and in giant clams restocked in different habitat types.

Sea Turtle Epibiosis: Global Patterns and Knowledge Gaps

Frontiers in Ecology and Evolution, 2022
Competition for space drives many marine propagules to colonize the external surfaces of other marine organisms, a phenomenon known as epibiosis. Epibiosis appears to be a universal phenomenon among sea turtles and an extensive body of scientific ...

Epibionts in artificial collectors / Epibiontes en colectores artificiales

Brazilian Journal of Animal and Environmental Research, 2021
Artificial collectors are tools that explain the settlement dynamics of marine invertebrates. What is known about these in the Caribbean is very limited. In order to identify and quantify the diversity of epibionts in relation to depth, between December, 2015 and August, 2016, cylindrical collectors were suspended on a long line at varying depths.

Report of rotifer-ciliate-gastropod hyperepibiosis found on snail (Mollusca) from Goa, India

Acta Biologica, 2021
Here we report a rotifer-ciliate-gastropod hyperepibiosis in freshwater canal, Goa, India. A rotifer Philodina cf. megalotrocha Ehrenberg, 1832 was found attached on the colony of Epistylis plicatilis Ehrenberg, 1838 which was epibiont on gastropod ...

On the move: sloths and their epibionts as model mobile ecosystems [PDF]

Biological Reviews, 2021
ABSTRACTSloths are unusual mobile ecosystems, containing a high diversity of epibionts living and growing in their fur as they climb slowly through the canopies of tropical forests. These epibionts include poorly studied algae, arthropods, fungi, and bacteria, making sloths likely reservoirs of unexplored biodiversity. This review aims to identify gaps

Planktivore effects on zooplankton epibiont communities: Epibiont pigmentation effects [PDF]

Limnology and Oceanography, 1993
We observed the development of epibiont communities on freshwater crustacean zooplankton from 12 July–31 August 1991 in three ponds: one with planktivorous fish, a second with planktivorous larval salamanders, and a third with planktivorous fish added midway through the sampling period.

Meiofauna Life on Loggerhead Sea Turtles-Diversely Structured Abundance and Biodiversity Hotspots That Challenge the Meiofauna Paradox

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 ...

Accumulation of Microplastics on Seagrass Leaves of Enhalus acoroides on Mare Island as a Conservation Area in North Maluku

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.
