Consensus on future research directions in the phylum Rotifera

Limnology and Oceanography, Volume 71, Issue 7, July 2026.
Abstract Rotifers play key roles in aquatic ecosystems, yet significant uncertainty remains about their diversity and evolution, and further evidence is needed to determine how reliably their responses to global change and human impacts can inform conservation.

Viral and Bacterial Epibionts in Thermally-Stressed Corals [PDF]

Journal of Marine Science and Engineering, 2015
The periodic rise in seawater temperature is one of the main environmental determinants of coral bleaching. However, the direct incidence of these episodic thermal anomalies on coral-associated microbiota and their subsequent effects on coral health are still not completely understood. In this study, we investigated the dynamics of three main microbial

Aquatic macrophytes as nature‐based solutions: Challenges and opportunities across inland and coastal waters

Limnology and Oceanography Letters, Volume 11, Issue 4, July 2026.
Abstract Macrophytes are foundation species whose use as nature‐based solution (NbS) in aquatic ecosystems can help reduce climate change impacts while mitigating biodiversity loss. The discrepancy in research and application of macrophytes as NbS across inland and marine coastal ecosystems is an opportunity to expand the concept and learn from ...

Prevalence of Colacium vesiculosum (Colaciales: Euglenophyceae) on planktonic crustaceans in a subtropical shallow lake of Argentina

Revista de Biología Tropical, 2011
Colacium vesiculosum (Euglenophyceae) is an epibiont common on planktonic microcrustaceans of continental waters. The interaction between epibionts and substrate organisms is not very well known, particularly in subtropical environments of South America.

Are freshwater turtles macro-epibionts indicators of water quality of the streams where the turtles live? [PDF]

Anais da Academia Brasileira de Ciências
Organisms that live above others can give information not only about the relation between them but also about the environment they inhabit. In that sense, this work studies the relationship between epibionts living on freshwater turtles and the impact ...

Fungi Associated With Freshwater Zooplankton Are Taxon‐Specific, Temporally Dynamic and Reflect Allochthonous Inputs

Molecular Ecology, Volume 35, Issue 14, July 2026.
ABSTRACT The associations between microbes and planktonic invertebrates in freshwater ecosystems are considered key ecological interactions. However, our understanding of the structure, taxonomic specificity, and environmental drivers of zooplankton microbiomes remains poor.

Microplastic Munchies: Exploring Microplastic Trophic Transfer Potential Between Two Key Prey Fish Species and Resident Common Bottlenose Dolphins (Tursiops truncatus) in Sarasota Bay, Florida

Marine Mammal Science, Volume 42, Issue 3, July 2026.
ABSTRACT Microplastics have been identified in hundreds of species, with evidence of trophic transfer via contaminated prey. Sarasota Bay common bottlenose dolphins (Tursiops truncatus) serve as sentinels of coastal pollution, including plastics and chemical plasticizers. Previous research confirmed microplastic ingestion in these dolphins (100.0%, n =

Occurrence of phoresy between Ancistrus multispinis (Actinopterygii: Siluriformes) and Ichthyocladius sp. (Diptera: Chironomidae) in Atlantic forest streams, Southeastern Brazil

Zoologia (Curitiba), 2018
Phoretic relationships often bring large advantages to epibionts. By attaching themselves to mobile hosts, epibionts are able to: expand their ranges without spending energy, reduce their risk of being predated, and increase their probability of finding ...

Report of Trematosoma rotunda (Ciliophora, Suctorea) as epibiont on harpacticoid copepod from western Indian coast

Acta Biologica, 2020
Suctorian ciliate Trematosoma rotunda (Allgén, 1952) is reported here for the first time as epibiont on a harpacticoid copepod collected from Mandovi river estuarine mouth, Goa, west coast of India, Arabian Sea.
