Planes on a Snake? On the Identities of Crab Larvae Rafting on Sea Snakes [PDF]
Ecology and EvolutionRafting on surface‐drifting flotsam or pelagic animals may represent an important behavioral strategy for larval transport and recruitment among brachyuran crabs.

First record of Licnophora chattoni (Ciliophora, Spirotrichea) on the sabellid worm Bispira melanostigma from marina fouling communities [PDF]
Biodiversity Data JournalEpibiosis between ciliates and feather duster worms (Sabellidae) remains poorly known and has been documented in only four species, belonging to the genera Eudistylia, Laonome, Schizobanchia and Sabella.

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 ...

Anais da Academia Brasileira de Ciências, 2022 Due to the competition for food, space, oxygen and due to their role as diseases vector, epibionts can negatively affect oyster farming. We assessed the efficacy of six methods commonly used for the removal of epibionts from oyster shells during farming.

Epibionts in artificial collectors / Epibiontes en colectores artificiales
Brazilian Journal of Animal and Environmental Research, 2021 Artificial collectors are tools that explain the settlement dynamics of marine invertebrates. What is known about these in the Caribbean is very limited. In order to identify and quantify the diversity of epibionts in relation to depth, between December, 2015 and August, 2016, cylindrical collectors were suspended on a long line at varying depths.

A survey of epibiont hydrozoans on Sargassum
PeerJ, 2023 The brown alga Sargassum provides a natural substrate occupied by hydrozoans in shallow marine waters. A global count in 2007 listed 39 epibiotic species of Hydrozoa growing on Sargassum, but more studies have been published since, therefore, an update is timely, particularly due to the increased abundance of Sargassum in the Caribbean.

Different food particle sources in the pearl oyster Pinctada margaritifera and its epibionts
Aquaculture Reports, 2021 Suspended bivalve culture (e.g. longlines) transfers benthic biomass - including bivalves and various epibionts - toward the water column, creating strong trophic interactions with the planktonic compartment.

On the move: sloths and their epibionts as model mobile ecosystems [PDF]
Biological Reviews, 2021 ABSTRACTSloths are unusual mobile ecosystems, containing a high diversity of epibionts living and growing in their fur as they climb slowly through the canopies of tropical forests. These epibionts include poorly studied algae, arthropods, fungi, and bacteria, making sloths likely reservoirs of unexplored biodiversity. This review aims to identify gaps

Growth of abalone (Haliotis discus hannai) in cages using epibiont control measures
Fisheries and Aquatic Sciences, 2021 In this study, the relationship between the growth of abalone and the presence of epibionts was investigated in abalone cultured in Goheung, Jeollanam-do, where there are severe problems high water temperatures and
