In coastal marine environments, physical and biological forces can cause dynamic pH fluctuations from microscale (diffusive boundary layer [DBL]) up to ecosystem‐scale (benthic boundary layer [BBL]).

The species composition of epibiotic communities on red king crab was investigated in Sayda Bay, Russia, during November of 2015 and 2016. The community consisted of 12 species in total.

Phosphate availability affects fixed nitrogen transfer from diazotrophs to their epibionts
Dinitrogen (N2) fixation is a major source of external nitrogen (N) to aquatic ecosystems and therefore exerts control over productivity. Studies have shown that N2 -fixers release freshly fixed N into the environment, but the causes for this N release ...

The effects of seasonality and parasitism on diet and habitat selection in the common periwinkle
The common periwinkle Littorina littorea is an ecologically important grazer, known for its strong influence on algal communities and its role in structuring ecosystems. It serves as the first intermediate host for several trematode species in the Baltic Sea, especially for the fluke Cryptocotyle lingua.

Increased drag reduces growth of snails:comparison of flume and in situ experiments [PDF]
Snails Littorina littorea with and without artificial epibionts were exposed in situ for nearly 1 mo. Measurement of individual shell length increase over this period revealed that clean snails grew 3 times faster than fouled snails.

Trichodesmium is a genus of marine diazotrophic colonial cyanobacteria that exerts a profound influence on global biogeochemistry, by injecting ‘new’ nitrogen into the low nutrient systems where it occurs. Colonies of Trichodesmium ubiquitously contain a

Epibiont hydroids on beachcast Sargassum in the Mexican Caribbean
Massive accumulations of pelagic species of Sargassum have generated recent social, economic and ecological problems along Caribbean shores. In the Mexican Caribbean, these events have prompted the study of diverse biological and ecological aspects of these macroalgae. However, studies on their associated biota, including Hydrozoa, remain scarce.

This 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 ...

Microhabitat Analyses of Silurian Stromatoporoids as Substrata for Epibionts
Stromatoporoids associated with a Hoburgen-type reef (Upper Ludlovian, Hamra Beds) on the island of Gotland provided living space for a variety of encrusting epibionts and endoliths. The stromatoporoids were inhabited by some 32 species, including cyclostome, cystoporate, and trepostome bryozoans, tabulates, rugosans, pelmatozoans, brachiopods ...

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 ...
