Epibionts provide their basibionts with associational resistance to predation but at a cost

Marine Environmental Research, 2023
Epibiosis is increasingly considered a survival strategy in space-limited environments. However, epibionts can create a new interface between its host, environment and potential predators which may alter predator-prey relationships and biological functioning.

Annelid symbiont assemblage and European stone crayfish − a deterministic relationship with implications for conservation management

Knowledge and Management of Aquatic Ecosystems, 2017
The protected European stone crayfish, Austropotamobius torrentium, is a host to epibionts inhabiting its exoskeleton. Despite evidence of the close association of these epibionts to the crayfish and the beneficial services provided for the crayfish, the

First report of Scutariella japonica (Matjašič, 1990), a temnocephalid epibiont from South-East Asia, found on introduced ornamental freshwater shrimp in European waters

Knowledge and Management of Aquatic Ecosystems, 2021
This contribution presents the first record of ornamental shrimp epibiont, Scutariella japonica (Platyhelminthes: Temnocephalida) in European waters. The species lives on freshwater Atyidae shrimp from temperate, subtropical and tropical zones of South ...

“ Candidatus Desulfobulbus rimicarensis,” an Uncultivated Deltaproteobacterial Epibiont from the Deep-Sea Hydrothermal Vent Shrimp Rimicaris exoculata

, 2020
International audienceThe deep-sea hydrothermal vent shrimp Rimicaris exoculata largely depends on a dense epibiotic chemoautotrophic bacterial community within its enlarged cephalothoracic chamber.

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.

Review of the fauna associated with wild and farmed mussels and oysters in the Mediterranean

Biological Reviews, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Mussels and oysters are important ecosystem engineers which modify the physical and chemical characteristics of the environment and create habitats that support highly diverse associated communities. In the Mediterranean Sea, the native Mediterranean mussel Mytilus galloprovincialis and the European flat oyster Ostrea edulis, together the ...

Macroepibiosis of three species of scallops in the waters of southern Primorye

Известия ТИНРО, 2017
Composition and distribution of macroepibionts on scallops Swiftopecten swiftii, Mizuhopecten yessoensis and Azumapecten farreri (Pectinidae, Bivalvia, Mollusca) are investigated in 13 shallow-water areas at southern Primorye.

Effects of naturally acidified seawater on seagrass calcareous epibionts [PDF]

Biology Letters, 2008
Surface ocean pH is likely to decrease by up to 0.4 units by 2100 due to the uptake of anthropogenic CO 2 from the atmosphere. Short-term experiments have revealed that this degree of seawater acidification can alter calcification rates in certain planktonic and benthic organisms, although the effects recorded may ...

Revealing the dark biodiversity around us through a national school‐based citizen science project

People and Nature, EarlyView.
Abstract School‐based citizen science holds great potential for expanding biodiversity knowledge while engaging young people in authentic scientific practices. This is particularly important for revealing ‘dark biodiversity’, defined as the vast yet often overlooked biodiversity that remains hidden due to its small size or cryptic nature, including ...

Morphological abnormalities in benthic foraminifera caused by an attached epibiont foraminifer

, 2016
This study focused on the possible 'parasitism-like' relationship between the epibiont Cymbaloporetta sp. and basibiont benthic foraminifera including Agglutinella soriformis El-Nakhal, Adelosina carinatastriata Wiesner, Pseudotriloculina sp.
