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

Warming and parasitism impair the performance of Baltic native and invasive macroalgae and their associated fauna

open access: yesLimnology and Oceanography, Volume 68, Issue 8, Page 1852-1864, August 2023., 2023
Abstract Global warming, bioinvasions, and parasitism affect single‐species performances and species interactions, substantially impacting the structure and stability of marine ecosystems. In light of accelerated global change, the information derived from studies focusing on single species and single drivers is insufficient, calling for a multi ...

Notes on amphipods associated with loggerhead marine turtle Caretta caretta (Linnaeus, 1758) in south-eastern Brazil

open access: yesNauplius, 2020
The loggerhead marine turtle is an ideal substrate for epibionts and presents the highest diversity of associated fauna among marine turtles. Here we report the occurrence of two amphipod species, Caprella andreae Mayer, 1890 and Podocerus chelonophilus (

NAMBER: A biotic index for assessing the ecological quality of mesophotic biogenic reefs in the northern Adriatic Sea

open access: yesAquatic Conservation: Marine and Freshwater Ecosystems, Volume 33, Issue 3, Page 298-311, March 2023., 2023
Abstract The aim of the present study was to propose a biotic index (North Adriatic Mesophotic BiogEnic Reefs, NAMBER) suitable for assessing the ecological quality of the mesophotic biogenic reefs of the northern Adriatic continental shelf based on photographic sampling.

Diversity Loss in Coralligenous Structuring Species Impacted by Fishing Gear and Marine Litter

open access: yesDiversity, 2021
Coralligenous structuring species (CSS) form a group of marine megabenthic species with an engineering capacity. Since they are highly vulnerable to anthropogenic activities, they have been selected for the Marine Strategy Framework Directive (MSFD ...

Feeding strategy and dietary preference shape the microbiome of epipelagic copepods in a warm nutrient‐impoverished ecosystem

open access: yesEnvironmental DNA, Volume 5, Issue 1, Page 38-55, January 2023., 2023
Copepods provide a rich organic microenvironment allowing the settlement and proliferation of microorganisms. Such symbiotic associations were previously hypothesized to be especially developed in warm oligotrophic seas. In the ultraoligotrophic Levantine Sea, we found that copepod‐associated microbial communities were host‐specific, suggesting that ...

First report of Epibiont ciliates (Ciliophora: Peritrichia) living on larvae of Leptophlebiidae (Ephemeroptera) from Brazil

open access: yesBrazilian Archives of Biology and Technology, 2017
Epibiosis was understood as a commensalism relation between two or more organisms. However, some studies have shown that epibionts can cause deleterious effects to their host.
