Differential responses of calcifying and non-calcifying epibionts of a brown macroalga to present-day and future upwelling pCO2. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2013 Seaweeds are key species of the Baltic Sea benthic ecosystems. They are the substratum of numerous fouling epibionts like bryozoans and tubeworms. Several of these epibionts bear calcified structures and could be impacted by the high pCO2 events of the ...

Epibionts on Arenaeus cribrarius (Brachyura: Portunidae) from Brazil
Zoologia (Curitiba), 2010 Mean prevalence and intensity of infestations by epibionts were evaluated in Arenaeus cribrarius (Lamarck, 1818), based on monthly samplings (May/1991 to April/1993), in Ubatuba, Brazil.

Long-term trends of epibionts reflect Mediterranean striped dolphin abundance shifts caused by morbillivirus epidemics. [PDF]
J Anim EcolThis original research piece demonstrates, through empirical and theoretical modelling approaches, that the epibionts of striped dolphins indicate dolphin abundance shifts caused by epidemics of dolphin morbillivirus (DMV). In addition, we provide the first SIR model to investigate the epidemiology of DMV in western Mediterranean striped dolphins ...

Hitchhikers on an Invader: The Parasitic Leech <i>Myzobdella lugubris</i> and the Epibiotic Barnacle <i>Amphibalanus improvisus</i> on the Atlantic Blue Crab <i>Callinectes sapidus</i> in Southwestern Europe. [PDF]
Ecol EvolThis study documents the first worldwide record of the parasitic leech Myzobdella lugubris and the commensal barnacle Amphibalanus improvisus associated with invasive Atlantic blue crabs (Callinectes sapidus) in southwestern Europe. Molecular analyses confirmed the identity of these Western Atlantic native species, highlighting a complex multi‐level co‐

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.

Grounds, Beds, and Reefs of the Endangered Coral <i>Cladocora caespitosa</i> With Description of the Tremiti Reef. [PDF]
Ecol EvolThis study provides an overview of the distribution of the three ecosystem types formed by Cladocora caespitosa and describes newly discovered ones at Tremiti Islands (Adriatic Sea, Italy). The spatial distribution, biometry, size structure, and conservation status of the Cladocora formations have been investigated and compared at the Mediterranean ...

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.

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.

Planktivore effects on zooplankton epibiont communities: Epibiont pigmentation effects [PDF]
Limnology and Oceanography, 1993 We observed the development of epibiont communities on freshwater crustacean zooplankton from 12 July–31 August 1991 in three ponds: one with planktivorous fish, a second with planktivorous larval salamanders, and a third with planktivorous fish added midway through the sampling period.

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
