Aquatic Conservation: Marine and Freshwater Ecosystems, Volume 36, Issue 8, August 2026.ABSTRACT The invasive brown alga Rugulopteryx okamurae, native to the northwestern Pacific, has rapidly expanded along the European Atlantic coast, reaching the Basque Coast in 2023, and was likely already present in 2022. Using annual data from a monitoring survey conducted between 2010 and 2025, this study assesses the spatio‐temporal variability of ...

Macrocyclic Trichothecene Production by the Fungus Epibiont of Baccharis Coridifolia [PDF]
Molecules, 2000 Cultures of the fungus epibiont from the herbaceous shrub B. coridifolia yielded four macrocyclic trichothecenes. As these toxins are the same as those found in B. coridifolia, the relationship between the plant and the epibiont must be considered as mutualistic.

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 ...

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.

Ecography, Volume 2026, Issue 8, August 2026.Temperature generally drives latitudinal patterns in the strength of trophic interactions, including consumption rates. However, local community and other environmental conditions might also affect consumption, disrupting latitudinal gradients, which results in complex large‐scale patterns.

Effects of naturally acidified seawater on seagrass calcareous epibionts [PDF]
Biology Letters, 2008 Surface ocean pH is likely to decrease by up to 0.4 units by 2100 due to the uptake of anthropogenic CO 2 from the atmosphere. Short-term experiments have revealed that this degree of seawater acidification can alter calcification rates in certain planktonic and benthic organisms, although the effects recorded may ...

Global Change Biology, Volume 32, Issue 8, August 2026.Two decades of monitoring across the north‐western Mediterranean reveal a 45% regional biomass loss of the foundation gorgonian Paramuricea clavata, driven by increasingly frequent marine heatwaves. Protection sustained higher biomass but could not halt decline, underscoring the urgent need to pair conservation with climate action to preserve red ...

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 ...

Temperature and Ultraviolet Radiation Influence the Skin Microbiome of Humpback Whales
Molecular Ecology, Volume 35, Issue 15, August 2026.ABSTRACT The skin microbiome of humpback whales harbours diverse microbial communities that play a crucial role in host skin protection and environmental interaction. However, studies on cetacean skin microbiomes in the Southern Hemisphere focus on feeding grounds, with limited information on microbiome dynamics at breeding grounds and during migration

Zoologia (Curitiba), 2010 Gastropod shells occupied by hermit crabs are an important attachment substrate for epifauna, and these shells are often damaged. The present study aimed to characterize the epibionts and extent of damage for gastropod shells occupied by the hermit crab ...
