New Echinoderm-Crab Epibiotic Associations from the Coastal Barents Sea [PDF]
Animals, 2021 During diving surveys for a Russian research project that monitored introduced species, red king crabs (Paralithodes camtschaticus) were collected at a coastal site of the Barents Sea to study the structure and dynamics of this species.

Diversity, 2020 Epibiosis is a common phenomenon in marine systems. In marine environments, ciliates are among the most common organisms adopting an epibiotic habitus and nematodes have been frequently reported as their basibionts.

Potential control of bacterial epibiosis on the surface of the sponge Mycale adhaerens [PDF]
Aquatic Microbial Ecology, 2004 Terminal restriction fragment length polymorphism (T-RFLP) analysis revealed struc- tural differences in bacterial communities colonizing the surface of the sponge Mycale adhaerens or an inanimate reference surface. Since these surfaces are exposed to a common pool of indigenous bacterial colonizers in the water column, the differences in bacterial ...

Frontiers in Marine ScienceEchinoids are an integral part of present-day and ancient marine trophic webs, and they host a variety of mutualistic, commensalistic, and parasitic epibionts on their spines and test.

Ecological Indicators, 2021 Epibiosis among plankton communities and the role of environmental forcing therein are discussed in this study. We hypothesized that a sub-surface thermal inversion phenomenon and associated hydrographical changes during winter monsoon promoted group ...

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. Because the establishment of an epibiotic assemblage on the surface of a basibiont species creates a new interface between the epibiotized organism and its ...

Diversity, 2022 Biogenic habitats often form hot spots of biodiversity. However, the role of epibiosis and the ‘habitat cascades’ phenomenon in enhancing structural heterogeneity and biodiversity in biogenic habitats in remote and difficult-to-access areas is little ...

Frontiers in Marine Science, 2021 We evaluated here the effects of the epibiotic diatom Tabularia sp. on the productivity of the calanoid copepod Acartia tonsa (Dana) for assessing their risk on copepod intensive aquaculture industry for the provision of live feed.

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 terrestrial and marine communities. One of the closest associations between species-epibiosis-has not been

Review of Macropodia in the Black Sea supported by molecular barcoding data; with the redescription of the type material, observations on ecology and epibiosis of Macropodia czernjawskii (Brandt, 1880) and notes on other Atlanto-Mediterranean species of Macropodia Leach, 1814 (Crustacea, Decapoda, Inachidae) [PDF]
Zoosystematics and Evolution, 2020 Macropodia czernjawskii (Brandt, 1880), described from the Black Sea, was ignored in the regional faunal accounts for more than a century, although it was recognised in the Mediterranean. Instead, M. longirostris (Fabricius, 1775) and M.
