Ciliated Epibionts Modify the Cardiac Stress Reaction to Perceived Predation in Daphnia
MicroorganismsWhen animals perceive an acute stressor like a predator, they typically undergo a suite of physiological changes that function to improve survival during the encounter, such as elevation in cardiac output, to supply more energy to muscles.

Dancing for food in the deep sea: bacterial farming by a new species of Yeti crab.
PLoS ONE, 2011 Vent and seep animals harness chemosynthetic energy to thrive far from the sun's energy. While symbiont-derived energy fuels many taxa, vent crustaceans have remained an enigma; these shrimps, crabs, and barnacles possess a phylogenetically distinct ...

Relevance of mytilid shell microtopographies for fouling defence - a global comparison [PDF]
, 2010 Prevention of epibiosis is of vital importance for most aquatic organisms, which can have consequences for their ability to invade new areas. Surface microtopography of the shell periostracum has been shown to have antifouling properties for mytilid ...

Christmas tree worms as epibionts of giant clams at Koh Tao, Gulf of Thailand
Marine Biodiversity, 2016 Christmas tree worms are serpulids of the genus Spirobranchus (Polychaeta: Serpulidae). These sedentary animals are common on shallow coral reefs, where they usually live in close association with scleractinian and milleporid corals (Dai and Yang 1995 ...
