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

Communications Biology, 2023 Evidence of interspecific interactions in the fossil record is rare but offers valuable insights into ancient ecologies. Exceptional fossiliferous sites can preserve complex ecological interactions involving non-biomineralized organisms, but most of ...

Epibionts of an Introduced King Crab in the Barents Sea: A Second Five-Year Study
Diversity, 2022 The biodiversity, infestation patterns, and spatial distribution of organisms living in association with the introduced red king crab Paralithodes camtschaticus were studied in Dalnezelenetskaya Bay, southern Barents Sea, in 2009–20013 to update a list ...

Epibionts and Epiphytes in Seagrass Habitats: A Global Analysis of Their Ecological Roles
SciSeagrass ecosystems support complex biological interactions that shape marine community structure and ecosystem functioning. Thanks to their structural complexity, they support heterogeneous communities and interact with associated benthic invertebrates ...

Influence of different types of sessile epibionts on the community structure of mobile invertebrates in an eelgrass bed [PDF]
PeerJ, 2017 Eelgrass (Zostera marina) beds are known to have high ecological and economical values within coastal ecosystems of the temperate northern hemisphere although their biodiversity and functions varied greatly from sites to sites.

Aquaculture Environment Interactions, 2016 Bivalve cultures support a host of epibionts, mainly suspension feeders, which can compete for food resources with the cultivated bivalves. However, the magnitude of interspecific competition for food in bivalve aquaculture settings remains inconclusive,
