Reviews in Aquaculture, Volume 13, Issue 3, Page 1423-1468, June 2021., 2021 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.

A survey of epibiont hydrozoans on Sargassum
PeerJ, 2023 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.

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

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.

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.

Environmental Breviatea harbour mutualistic Arcobacter epibionts [PDF]
Nature, 2016 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.

Biogeography, Evolution, and Diversity of Epibionts in Phototrophic Consortia [PDF]
Applied and Environmental Microbiology, 2004 ABSTRACTMotile phototrophic consortia are highly regular associations in which numerous cells of green sulfur bacteria surround a flagellated colorless β-proteobacterium in the center. To date, seven different morphological types of such consortia have been described. In addition, two immotile associations involving green sulfur bacteria are known.

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 ...

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.
