The ecology of protists epibiontic on marine hydroids
Journal of the Marine Biological Association of the United Kingdom, 2008Several hydroid species have an epibiontic lifestyle, living associated with organisms of many different phyla. On the other hand, hydroids can also host dense assemblages of microflora and microfauna, mainly composed of protists and bacteria. Among protists, diatoms are the most abundant and diversified group, followed by foraminifera and sessile ...

Costs of epibionts on Antarctic sea spiders
Marine Biology, 2018Nearly all marine animals harbor epibionts, organisms living on their body surfaces. The positive or negative effects that epibionts have on their hosts depend on many factors, including the size and location of the epibionts on their host. The present study examined the effects of epibionts on gas exchange, locomotion, and drag of three species of ...

No Effects and No Control of Epibionts in Two Species of Temperate Pycnogonids
The Biological Bulletin, 2016Essentially all surfaces of marine plants and animals host epibionts. These organisms may harm their hosts in a number of ways, including impeding gas exchange or increasing the costs of locomotion. Epibionts can also be beneficial. For example, they may camouflage their hosts, and photosynthetic epibionts can produce oxygen.

A checklist of species of Vorticellidae (Ciliophora: Peritrichia) epibionts of crustaceans
Zootaxa, 2018The family Vorticellidae includes 21 genera, mainly with species worldwide distributed, as free-living, and attached to diverse organisms as epibionts. The goal of this paper is to provide an updated checklist of the worldwide vorticellids reported attached to the crustaceans.

Carbonate Sediment Production by Sargassum Epibionts
SEPM Journal of Sedimentary Research, 1985ABSTRACT Sargassum and associated calcareous epibionts were collected at sea and on a Bermuda beach. The weight percent of calcium carbonate produced by epibionts averaged 9.4% for samples collected at sea and 5.3% for beached samples. This indicates that Sargassum epibionts are a major potential source of carbonate sediment.

Hitchhiking on Pennsylvanian Echinoids: Epibionts on Archaeocidaris
PALAIOS, 2003Abstract Thousands of aggregating Archaeocidaris echinoids, many with Crurithyris planoconvexa brachiopods and fenestellid and encrusting bryozoan epibionts on their spines, occur in a Pennsylvanian (Missourian) echinoderm Lagerstatte in the Winchell Formation of north-central Texas.

Protistan epibionts of the ctenophore Mnemiopsis mccradyi Mayer
Hydrobiologia, 2001Mnemiopsis mccradyi, a common coastal ctenophore, was observed to bear two distinct, exclusive assemblages of protistan epibionts. The mobiline peritrich, Trichodina ctenophorii (Estes et al., 1997), and small Flabellula-like gymnamoebae inhabited only the surface of the comb plates.
