Microplastic Munchies: Exploring Microplastic Trophic Transfer Potential Between Two Key Prey Fish Species and Resident Common Bottlenose Dolphins (Tursiops truncatus) in Sarasota Bay, Florida

open access: yesMarine Mammal Science, Volume 42, Issue 3, July 2026.
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 =

Temporal shifts in kelp forest structure and distribution largely reflect recent ocean warming trends

open access: yesEcography, Volume 2026, Issue 6, June 2026.
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 ...

Characterization of epibionts associated with gastropod shells inhabited by Isocheles sawayai (Crustacea: Decapoda: Anomura) on the north coast of Santa Catarina

open access: yesRevista Mexicana de Biodiversidad, 2018
This study analyzed the taxa associated as epibionts with mollusc shells inhabited by the hermit crab Isocheles sawayai, in order to understand how they affect host crabs.

Spatial distribution of epibionts on olive ridley sea turtles at Playa Ostional, Costa Rica.

open access: yesPLoS ONE, 2019
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

open access: yesOceanological and Hydrobiological Studies, 2013
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.

open access: yesPLoS ONE, 2011
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

open access: yesИзвестия ТИНРО, 2017
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.

Distribution patterns of the barnacle, Chelonibia testudinaria, on juvenile green turtles (Chelonia mydas) in Bahia Magdalena, Mexico Patrones de distribución del balano, Chelonibia testudinaria, en tortugas verdes (Chelonia mydas) juveniles en bahía Magdalena, México

open access: yesRevista Mexicana de Biodiversidad, 2012
The barnacle, Chelonibia testudinaria, is an obligate commensal of sea turtles that may show population variability according to the physical characteristics of the environment and properties of turtle hosts; therefore, we characterized the ...
