Effects of global warming on Mediterranean coral forests [PDF]
Scientific Reports, 2021 The effects of global warming have been addressed on coral reefs in tropical areas, while it is still unclear how coral forests are reacting, particularly at temperate latitudes. Here we show how mesophotic coral forests are affected by global warming in

Truly a hyperparasite, or simply an epibiont on a parasite? The case of Cyclocotyla bellones (Monogenea, Diclidophoridae) [PDF]
Parasite, 2022 Cyclocotyla bellones Otto, 1823 (Monogenea, Diclidophoridae) is one of the few monogenean species reported as hyperparasitic: the worms dwell on cymothoid isopods, themselves parasites of the buccal cavity of fishes. We present here observations based on

Variation in the Health Status of the Mediterranean Gorgonian Forests: The Synergistic Effect of Marine Heat Waves and Fishing Activity [PDF]
BiologyOver the past thirty years, the red gorgonian Paramuricea clavata in the Mediterranean Sea has faced increasing threats, including heat waves and human activities such as artisanal and recreational fishing.

New Records of Symbiotic Amphipods on Red King Crabs in the Coastal Barents Sea [PDF]
BiologyMonitoring epibiotic communities on the invasive red king crab (Paralithodes camtschaticus) in the Barents Sea is crucial for understanding the co-adaptation between this species and the local benthic fauna.

Epibiotic pressure contributes to biofouling invader success. [PDF]
Sci Rep, 2017 Reduced competition is a frequent explanation for the success of many introduced species. In benthic marine biofouling communities, space limitation leads to high rates of overgrowth competition.

Community Composition of Epibiont Hydroids of the Naturalized Alien Macroalga Acanthophora spicifera in Pichilingue, Mexico [PDF]
BiologyThis study provides a detailed analysis of the community of hydrozoan epibionts of Acanthophora spicifera in La Paz Bay, Baja California Sur. The investigation was carried out in two season periods, corresponding to the warm and cold seasons on the pier ...

Ecological Indicators, 2021 Epibiosis among plankton communities and the role of environmental forcing therein are discussed in this study. We hypothesized that a sub-surface thermal inversion phenomenon and associated hydrographical changes during winter monsoon promoted group ...

Diversity, 2022 Biogenic habitats often form hot spots of biodiversity. However, the role of epibiosis and the ‘habitat cascades’ phenomenon in enhancing structural heterogeneity and biodiversity in biogenic habitats in remote and difficult-to-access areas is little ...

Frontiers in Marine Science, 2021 We evaluated here the effects of the epibiotic diatom Tabularia sp. on the productivity of the calanoid copepod Acartia tonsa (Dana) for assessing their risk on copepod intensive aquaculture industry for the provision of live feed.

The Role of Invasion Status and Taxon of Basibionts in Marine Community Structure
Frontiers in Ecology and Evolution, 2022 Studies on non-native epibionts typically focus on the organismal-level impacts of epibiosis on basibionts, rather than community-level impacts of this relationship.
