Corals of the genus Porites are a locally abundant component of the epibiont community on mangrove prop roots at Calabash Caye, Turneffe Atoll, Belize [PDF]
, 2019 Mangroves are generally regarded as inhospitable for corals, but recent reports suggest they provide ecological refuge for some species. We surveyed diverse mangrove habitats on Turneffe Atoll, Belize, documenting 127 colonies of Porites divaricata (Thin

Successional changes of epibiont fouling communities of the cultivated kelp Alaria esculenta: predictability and influences [PDF]
, 2017 There has been an increase in commercial-scale kelp cultivation in Europe, with fouling of cultivated kelp fronds presenting a major challenge to the growth and development of the industry. The presence of epibionts decreases productivity and impacts the

Diversity and Distributions, Volume 31, Issue 12, December 2025.ABSTRACT Aim Climate change is reshuffling the distribution of species globally and threatening to modify the structure and functioning of natural and managed ecosystems. Most studies predicting species distributions rely on statistical approaches that do not capture the species' fundamental niche.

Knowledge and Management of Aquatic Ecosystems, 2017 The protected European stone crayfish, Austropotamobius torrentium, is a host to epibionts inhabiting its exoskeleton. Despite evidence of the close association of these epibionts to the crayfish and the beneficial services provided for the crayfish, the

Epibiotic pressure contributes to biofouling invader success [PDF]
, 2017 Reduced competition is a frequent explanation for the success of many introduced species. In benthic marine biofouling communities, space limitation leads to high rates of overgrowth competition.
