Contributions to the Knowledge of the Larval Morphology of Synalpheus Spence Bate, 1888 (Caridea: Alpheidae): Description of the First Zoea of S. antillensis Coutière, 1909 and S. cf. townsendi Coutière, 1909 Reared in Laboratory

Acta Zoologica, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT The first zoea of two Synalpheus species, namely: S. antillensis and S. cf. townsendi, are herein described. They were also compared with the genus descriptions and with their respective species complexes available in the literature. Morphological information on Synalpheus zoea I exhibits an increase from 19 to 21 species, and it corresponds ...

Identifying thermally tolerant bull kelp (Nereocystis luetkeana) source populations for restoration under climate change

Journal of Phycology, EarlyView.
Abstract Kelp forests are declining in many parts of the world due to climate change and other stressors. Restoration is one solution to return kelp forests to places where they have been lost, yet continually warming oceans may necessitate the identification of thermally tolerant strains to facilitate the long‐term success of kelp restoration.

Filter feeders living on suspension feeders: New insights into the lifestyle and distribution of Arcturidae Dana, 1849 (Crustacea: Isopoda) around Iceland

Marine Ecology, EarlyView.
Abstract The focus of the present study was on arcturid isopods occurring in the subarctic region around Iceland. Data from two decades of sampling with an epibenthic sledge (EBS) during numerous expeditions of the BIOICE (Benthic Invertebrates of Icelandic Waters; 1992–2004) and IceAGE (Icelandic marine Animals: Genetics and Ecology; 2011—ongoing ...

Distribution and Abundance of the Bioeroding Sponge Cliona sp. in Oyster Populations of Ostrea chilensis Across New Zealand

New Zealand Journal of Marine and Freshwater Research, Volume 60, Issue 4, December 2026.
Bioeroding sponges are recognised pests in shellfish fisheries, as their boring activity can reduce market value, contribute to oyster mortality and cause economic losses. In New Zealand, bioeroding sponges in the shell‐burrowing alpha form are frequently observed in shells of the flat oyster Ostrea chilensis, a historically and culturally important ...

Control mechanisms of photosynthetic epibionts on zooplankton: an experimental approach

, 2015
International audienceSeveral top-down and bottom-up forces have been put forward to explain variable infestation rates of zooplankton by epibionts. Among top-down forces, fish predation affects epibiont prevalence on zooplanktonic organisms, either by ...

Occurrence of phoresy between Ancistrus multispinis (Actinopterygii: Siluriformes) and Ichthyocladius sp. (Diptera: Chironomidae) in Atlantic forest streams, Southeastern Brazil

Zoologia (Curitiba), 2018
Phoretic relationships often bring large advantages to epibionts. By attaching themselves to mobile hosts, epibionts are able to: expand their ranges without spending energy, reduce their risk of being predated, and increase their probability of finding ...

On the move: sloths and their epibionts as model mobile ecosystems [PDF]

, 2021
Sloths 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.

The Chaetocerosphere: Chaetoceros Species and Associated Prokaryotes in a Coastal Area

Environmental Microbiology Reports, Volume 18, Issue 5, October 2026.
Chaetoceros species maintain recurrent distinct prokaryotic assemblages in their phycosphere. Alphaproteobacteria, Bacteroidetes and Archaea Thermoplasmata and Marine Group II are the most represented in the phycosphere. Bipartite networks highlight strong links between the diatom and specific prokaryotic taxa, especially the chain‐forming species ...

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.

Distinct valvometry signal patterns associated with spawning and fecal ejection in the mussel Mytilus galloprovincialis

Journal of the World Aquaculture Society, Volume 57, Issue 5, October 2026.
Abstract Spain is the largest European producer of mussels for human consumption, and this production depends heavily on mussel seed availability. However, multiple environmental factors make it difficult to accurately predict the timing for deploying seed‐collector ropes, posing a challenge in seed supply and production management.
