Marine epibiosis [PDF]

open access: yesOecologia, 1990
Polysyncraton lacazei is a colonial tunicate (family didemnidae) living in the NW-mediterranean rocky sublitoral. A thorough scanning of numerous colonies revealed that in spite of an apparently heavy local fouling pressure only one fouling species - a kamptozoan - is encountered with some regularity on Polysyncraton.

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. In all four cases, toxic chemical antifouling defenses were wanting or inconsistent.

Associational resistance and shared doom: effects of epibiosis on herbivory [PDF]

open access: yesOecologia, 1995
The potential for spatial associations between palatable and unpalatable plant species to reduce herbivore pressure on the palatable species has been described as associational resistance, associational refuge or associational defense for numerous terrestrial and marine communities. One of the closest associations between species-epibiosis-has not been

The predominantly facultative nature of epibiosis: experimental and observational evidence [PDF]

open access: yesMarine Ecology - Progress Series, 1999
Epibiosis is d 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. When the effects are predominantly beneficial for epibiont and basibiont, coevolution can be expected to lead ...

Ecological lever and interface ecology: epibiosis modulates the interactions between host and environment

open access: yesBiofouling, 2008
The properties of the body surface play a crucial role in most interactions of marine organisms. Critical ecological properties such as drag, morphology, uptake and release of radiation and organic matter are linked to the body surface of an aquatic organism.
