Barnacle settlement on rocky shores: Substratum preference and epibiosis on mussels
Journal of Experimental Marine Biology and Ecology, 2015Understanding the dynamics of epibiosis is fundamental to understanding the role of biological interactions in the functioning of marine ecosystems. At many coastal sites, barnacles are abundant as epibionts on the shells of mussels. As they approach the shore, cypris larvae explore the environment, actively seeking suitable settlement sites and ...

Does epibiosis facilitate the invasion success of marine benthic invertebrates?
2023The theoretical understanding of invasion success is linked to a variety of drivers including enemy release, facilitation, and competitive ability. Within the marine environment, any bare solid substrate is quickly colonised making free‚ÄövÑvp space for settlement a limited resource.

Epibiosis across the Late Devonian biotic crisis: a review
Proceedings of the Geologists' Association, 2013Abstract Across the Late Devonian biotic crisis, sclerobionts declined in diversity and abundance and the proportions of brachiopod shell textures changed radically. Most of the major sclerobiont clades were common to Givetian through Mississippian ecosystems.

Marine Epibiosis: Concepts, Ecological Consequences and Host Defence
2008The sessile mode of life is widespread in a variety of marine phyla. Sessile life requires a stable substratum. On the benthos, motile life stages and sessile adults compete for rigid surfaces making non-living, i.e. inanimate, hard substratum a limited resource.

Exploitation of micro refuges and epibiosis: survival strategies of a calcareous sponge
Journal of the Marine Biological Association of the United Kingdom, 2016Sponges interact in various ways with a wide variety of organisms in benthic communities and ecological interactions may influence the distribution, abundance and diversity of these organisms in different sites. Although several studies have already been developed for Demospongiae, knowledge of ecological interactions in the class Calcarea is lacking ...

Possible controls of epibiosis in the sponge : mycale adhaerens
2014It has long been suggested that marine sponges have evolved defensive mechanisms to control epibiosis i.e. colonization of body surfaces by other organisms. The main goal of this thesis research was to investigate the potential controls of epibiosis in the sponge Mycale adhaerens, and the focuses of this study were on: 1) how larval settlement of the ...

Viviendo en condominio: las macroalgas y la epibiosis en los ambientes marinos
Cymbella Revista de investigación y difusión sobre algasLa epibiosis es una interacción ecológica importante en los ambientes marinos, se presenta entre distintos grupos de organismos donde destacan las macroalgas, las cuales se han encontrado siendo sustratos, o colonizando a otros seres vivos ya sea heterótrofos o autótrofos.

Seasonality and infestation pattern of epibiosis in the beach mysid Archaeomysis articulata
Hydrobiologia, 2000Seasonal variation and the infestation pattern of epibiosis in the beach mysid Archaeomysis articulata Hanamura, 1997, were studied based on intertidal samples over 1 year on a sandy beach in Ishikari Bay, northern Japan. The mysid-peritrich ciliate association was a year-round phenomenon in Ishikari Bay and the prevalence of infestation varied from 49
