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

Effects of epibiosis on consumer-prey interactions [PDF]
Hydrobiologia, 1997 In many benthic communities predators play a crucial role in the population dynamics of their prey. Surface characteristics of the prey are important for recognition and handling by the predator.

Chemical control of bacterial epibiosis on ascidians
Marine Ecology Progress Series, 1994 Two co-occurring ascidians of the Pacific subtidal, Polyclinum planum and Cystodytes lobatus, were found to exhibit remarkably different numbers of surface bacteria. On average, epibacterial densities on P.

Predation and epibiosis on egg capsules of the Shorttail fanskate, Sympterygia brevicaudata
Revista de Biología Marina y Oceanografía, 2022 After deposition, chondrichthyan egg capsules are frequently exposed to numerous threats that affect their survival. However, the ecological factors affecting the development and survival of embryos inside egg capsules remain unclear.

Marine Ecology - Progress Series, 2005 The relationship between antifouling metabolite production and epibiosis on the surfaces of the sponges Haliclona cymaeformis, Haliclona sp. and Callyspongia sp. was investigated in this study. Densities of macrofoulers and diatoms were suppressed on the

Biofouling, 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 ...

Does epibiosis facilitate the invasion success of marine benthic invertebrates?
, 2015 The 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 ...

Marine epibiosis. II. Reduced fouling on Polysyncraton lacazei (Didemnidae, Tunicata) and proposal of an antifouling potential index [PDF]
Oecologia, 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 ...
