Hydrodynamic Interactions Between Macroalgae and Their Epibionts
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 ...

Observations on the epizoic interaction between diatoms and marine mammals have been conducted mostly in cetaceans and are scarce in sirenians. By scraping the skin surface, the samples of biofilm were collected of a captive male Caribbean manatee in ...

Peritrich ciliates are commonly found as epibionts, colonizing living organisms, or attached to non-living substrates in freshwater, estuarine and marine environments. Several species of peritrich epibionts are obligate, which means that they are able to

Biogeography, Evolution, and Diversity of Epibionts in Phototrophic Consortia [PDF]
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.

Bacterial epibiont communities of panmictic Antarctic krill are spatially structured [PDF]
AbstractAntarctic krill (Euphausia superba) are amongst the most abundant animals on Earth, with a circumpolar distribution in the Southern Ocean. Genetic and genomic studies have failed to detect any population structure for the species, suggesting a single panmictic population.

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.

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