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 ...

Comparing Drone and Vessel‐Based Imaging to Quantify Epibiont Coverage on Humpback Whales

Marine Mammal Science, Volume 42, Issue 4, October 2026.
ABSTRACT Cetacean epibionts offer noninvasive insights into host health, physiology, and spatial ecology, yet quantitative assessments in wild populations remain scarce. Although vessel‐based observations may be limited by field of view and analyst input, unoccupied aerial vehicles (UAVs; drones) are increasingly used to monitor cetacean health indices,

First records of Boreolithothamnion astragaloi and Boreolithothamnion soriferum (Hapalidiales, Rhodophyta) from Japan with the characterization of Boreolithothamnion japonicum from Hokkaido based on molecular and morpho‐anatomical analyses

Phycological Research, Volume 74, Issue 4, Page 318-332, October 2026.
SUMMARY Boreolithothamnion is a non‐geniculate coralline red algal genus distributed in cold to warm temperate regions of the Northern Hemisphere. Since the establishment of the genus in 2023, following the redefinition of the genus Lithothamnion, its species diversity and distribution of Boreolithothamnion in Japan needed to be reassessed.

A Large-Scale Comparative Metagenomic Study Reveals the Functional Interactions in Six Bloom-Forming Microcystis-Epibiont Communities

Frontiers in Microbiology, 2018
Cyanobacterial blooms are worldwide issues of societal concern and scientific interest. Lake Taihu and Lake Dianchi, two of the largest lakes in China, have been suffering from annual Microcystis-based blooms over the past two decades.

Sessile macro-epibiotic community of solitary ascidians, ecosystem engineers in soft substrates of Potter Cove, Antarctica [PDF]

Polar Research, 2015
The muddy bottoms of inner Potter Cove, King George Island (Isla 25 de Mayo), South Shetlands, Antarctica, show a high density and richness of macrobenthic species, particularly ascidians.

Ocean Acidification Cannot Mitigate Warming‐Induced Physiological Stress in a Key Foundation Kelp

Global Change Biology Communications, Volume 1, Issue 3, September 2026.
Ocean warming and acidification are reshaping coastal ecosystems, but their combined effects on foundation species remain unresolved. Using mesocosm experiments, we tested for the individual and combined effects of ocean warming and acidification on the juvenile kelp Laminaria digitata.

Low Denitrification, Anammox, and Dissimilatory Nitrate Reduction to Ammonium Rates in a Low Disturbance Mangrove‐Saltmarsh System Using an in Situ Intact Chamber Method

Journal of Geophysical Research: Biogeosciences, Volume 131, Issue 9, September 2026.
Abstract Mangroves and saltmarshes can remove anthropogenic nitrogen (N) moving from the land to the ocean, but many previous N cycling measurements used destructive sampling procedures that excluded important habitats such as crab burrows, pneumatophores, and saltmarsh vegetation.

Annelid symbiont assemblage and European stone crayfish − a deterministic relationship with implications for conservation management

Knowledge and Management of Aquatic Ecosystems, 2017
The protected European stone crayfish, Austropotamobius torrentium, is a host to epibionts inhabiting its exoskeleton. Despite evidence of the close association of these epibionts to the crayfish and the beneficial services provided for the crayfish, the

Non‐Fungi Diversity Present in Soil and Snow Impacted by Anthropogenic Activity in King George Island, Maritime Antarctica Using Metabarcoding Approach

Journal of Eukaryotic Microbiology, Volume 73, Issue 5, September/October 2026.
ABSTRACT The Antarctic Peninsula shows a fast‐rising temperature trend, increasing the risk of colonization by non‐native species, such as the invasive Poa annua. The “cryptic diversity” of largely unknown microscopic propagules in soil and snow poses a significant threat, as traditional morphological surveys are inadequate.

Epibiont occurrence on gastropod shells used by the hermit crab Loxopagurus loxochelis (Anomura: Diogenidae) on the northern coast of São Paulo, Brazil

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 ...
