Epibiosis por Balaenophilus unisetus (Copepoda: Harpacticoida) en rorcual común, Balaenoptera physalus (Mysticeti: Balaenopteridae), varado en Isla de Margarita, Venezuela [PDF]
La epibiosis es una estrategia común en muchos organismos acuáticos, y puede constituir una herramienta de estudio muy valiosa en ecología y conservación.

Biological features on epibiosis of Amphibalanus improvisus (Cirripedia) on Macrobrachium acanthurus (Decapoda) [PDF]
This study aimed to describe the epibiosis of barnacles Amphibalanus improvisus on eight adult Macrobrachium acanthurus males from the Mundaú Lagoon, state of Alagoas, Brazil. The number of epibiont barnacles varied from 247 to 1,544 specimens per prawn;

Estudio de una población de hidropólipos epibiontes de "Halimeda Tuna" [PDF]
[EN] A population of hydropolyps epizoic on an Halimeda tuna community, at 12 m depth on an area of the Catalonian coast (NE of Spain), has been studied. A total of 40 thalluses were collected in samples taken between March and July 1985. Thirty-three species of hydropolyps were obtained, belonging mainly to the Haleciidae, Campanulariidae and ...

Abstract The conservation and active restoration of European flat oyster (Ostrea edulis) populations are a major focus of ecological restoration efforts to take advantage of the wide‐ranging ecosystem functions and services this species provides. Accordingly, additional and new demands for seed oysters have arisen.

Epibionts in artificial collectors / Epibiontes en colectores artificiales
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.

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

Environmental Breviatea harbour mutualistic Arcobacter epibionts [PDF]
Breviatea form a lineage of free living, unicellular protists, distantly related to animals and fungi. This lineage emerged almost one billion years ago, when the oceanic oxygen content was low, and extant Breviatea have evolved or retained an anaerobic lifestyle. Here we report the cultivation of Lenisia limosa, gen. et sp.

A survey of epibiont hydrozoans on Sargassum
The brown alga Sargassum provides a natural substrate occupied by hydrozoans in shallow marine waters. A global count in 2007 listed 39 epibiotic species of Hydrozoa growing on Sargassum, but more studies have been published since, therefore, an update is timely, particularly due to the increased abundance of Sargassum in the Caribbean.

Bryozoan-macroalgal interactions:do epibionts benefit? [PDF]
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.
