ABSTRACT Microplastics have been identified in hundreds of species, with evidence of trophic transfer via contaminated prey. Sarasota Bay common bottlenose dolphins (Tursiops truncatus) serve as sentinels of coastal pollution, including plastics and chemical plasticizers. Previous research confirmed microplastic ingestion in these dolphins (100.0%, n =

Ocean warming is driving the redistribution of species at a global scale. Biogeographic transition zones are hotspots of species range shifts, as both warm‐ and cold‐adapted species are found toward contrasting range edges. While anecdotal evidence suggests some distributional shifts have occurred in the northeast Atlantic, the empirical evidence base ...

Spatial distribution of epibionts on olive ridley sea turtles at Playa Ostional, Costa Rica.
There is a wealth of published information on the epibiont communities of sea turtles, yet many of these studies have exclusively sampled epibionts found only on the carapace.

A review of cnidarian epibionts on marine crustacea
Abstract An updated inventory of the cnidarian species living as epibionts on Crustacea was conducted. Cnidarian species that attach themselves to gastropod shells of hermit crabs were also considered. One hundred and forty-eight species of cnidaria were included, with similar numbers of hydrozoans and anthozoans.

Dancing for food in the deep sea: bacterial farming by a new species of Yeti crab.
Vent and seep animals harness chemosynthetic energy to thrive far from the sun's energy. While symbiont-derived energy fuels many taxa, vent crustaceans have remained an enigma; these shrimps, crabs, and barnacles possess a phylogenetically distinct ...

Macroepibiosis of three species of scallops in the waters of southern Primorye
Composition and distribution of macroepibionts on scallops Swiftopecten swiftii, Mizuhopecten yessoensis and Azumapecten farreri (Pectinidae, Bivalvia, Mollusca) are investigated in 13 shallow-water areas at southern Primorye.
