Sea Turtle Epibiosis: Global Patterns and Knowledge Gaps [PDF]
Frontiers in Ecology and Evolution, 2022 Competition for space drives many marine propagules to colonize the external surfaces of other marine organisms, a phenomenon known as epibiosis. Epibiosis appears to be a universal phenomenon among sea turtles and an extensive body of scientific ...

Non‐toxic protection against epibiosis
Biofouling, 1998 Epibiosis on four marine benthic invertebrate species was found to be reduced relative to other nearby surfaces, suggesting the existence of an underlying protection against fouling.

The predominantly facultative nature of epibiosis: experimental and observational evidence [PDF]
Marine Ecology - Progress Series, 1999 Epibiosis is a spatially close association between 2 or more organisms belonging to the same or different species. Through direct and indirect interactions, this association has major effects on the species involved and on community dynamics.

The Cost for Biodiversity: Records of Ciliate–Nematode Epibiosis with the Description of Three New Suctorian Species [PDF]
Diversity, 2020 Epibiosis is a common phenomenon in marine systems. In marine environments, ciliates are among the most common organisms adopting an epibiotic habitus and nematodes have been frequently reported as their basibionts.

In a squeeze: Epibiosis may affect the distribution of kelp forests [PDF]
Ecology and Evolution, 2019 The processes limiting the population recovery of the kelp Saccharina latissima after recent large‐scale loss from the south coast of Norway are poorly understood.

Quaternary intensification of spine epibiosis in the cidaroid echinoid Eucidaris: implications for anthropogenic impacts [PDF]
Frontiers in Marine ScienceEchinoids are an integral part of present-day and ancient marine trophic webs, and they host a variety of mutualistic, commensalistic, and parasitic epibionts on their spines and test.

Indirect Effects of Epibiosis on Host Mortality: Seastar Predation on Differently Fouled Mussels
Marine Ecology, 1999 In situ experiments were run with the seastar Asterias rubens to investigate the influence of epibiosis on predation preferences. Mussels (Mytilus edulis) monospecifically fouled by different epibiont species (the barnacle Balanus improvisus, the red ...

Journal of Experimental Marine Biology and Ecology, 1991 Polysyncraton lacazei (Giard), a colonial tunicate of the western Mediterranean, seems to be well-protected against epibiosis. Out of several thousand potential colonizers estimated, only one kamptozoan species, Loxocalyx sp., is found with some ...
