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 ...

Aerobic methane production in marine ecosystems
Limnology and Oceanography Letters, Volume 11, Issue 1, January 2026.Abstract Oceans are considered significant methane sources, but the origin of methane in oxic surface seawaters remains unknown. Here, we collected seawater from the Jiulong River Estuary, Taiwan Strait, and Arctic Ocean to explore the potential for aerobic methane production.

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.

Palaeontology, Volume 69, Issue 1, January/February 2026.Abstract Biomineralization around the Ediacaran–Cambrian boundary enabled new ecological strategies, including encrustation, boring and cavity‐dwelling, across various lineages. Here we describe problematic vesicular fossils that are attached to, or embedded within, the calcium phosphatic shells of the tommotiid genus Tesella from the middle Cambrian ...

Extinction risk related to functional traits in Pliocene to Holocene West Atlantic molluscs
Palaeontology, Volume 69, Issue 1, January/February 2026.Abstract Uniformitarian approaches to ecology contain both valuable aspects and pitfalls, because there are several different concepts that are subsumed under the umbrella of uniformitarianism. Some of these concepts are valid; others are less so because they make inaccurate presumptions. Here we use uniformitarian approaches relating functional traits

THE EFFECTS OF INVASIVE EPIBIONTS ON CRAB–MUSSEL COMMUNITIES: A THEORETICAL APPROACH TO UNDERSTAND MUSSEL POPULATION DECLINE [PDF]
Journal of biological systems, 2018 Blue mussels (Mytilus edulis) are important keystone species that have been declining in the Gulf of Maine. This could be attributed to a variety of complex factors such as indirect effects due to invasion by epibionts, which remains unexplored ...

Keystone Predation: What Is It, and Is It Supported by Empirical Evidence?
Ecology and Evolution, Volume 15, Issue 12, December 2025.Keystone predation has been widely cited as a key ecological mechanism controlling community structures, but is supported by limited theoretical and experimental studies. Reviewing these studies showed keystone predation has been documented across realms, appears to be most prevalent in sessile and dispersal‐limited communities and can be modified by ...

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.

Genetic Diversity and Potential Function of Microbial Symbionts Associated with Newly Discovered Species of Osedax Polychaete Worms [PDF]
, 2007 We investigated the genetic diversity of symbiotic bacteria associated with two newly discovered species of Osedax from Monterey Canyon, CA, at 1,017-m (Osedax Monterey Bay sp. 3 "rosy" [Osedax sp. MB3]) and 381-m (Osedax Monterey Bay sp.

Ecology and Evolution, Volume 15, Issue 12, December 2025.Here, we document through field observations and photographs, the extensive fouling of seed‐bearing Z. marina reproductive shoots by invasive tunicates in a Cape Cod meadow during late spring/early summer 2025. Such fouling may block seed release and/or inhibit dispersal which may reduce meadow reproductive success.
