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

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 ...

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 (

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

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 ...
