Integrative Zoology, Volume 17, Issue 1, Page 24-43, January 2022., 2022 We reappraise a fossil chelonibiid specimen from the Miocene of insular Tanzania that was previously referred to the living species Chelonibia caretta. This largely forgotten specimen is here described as the holotype of the new species †Chelonibia zanzibarensis. Microscopical analyses reveal that †C. zanzibarensis grasped its host's integument in much

Rehabilitation of Mediterranean animal forests using gorgonians from fisheries by‐catch
Restoration Ecology, Volume 30, Issue 1, January 2022., 2022 The assessment of effective and affordable restoration interventions is pivotal to developing new tools to mitigate habitat loss and enhance natural recovery. Gorgonians create important three‐dimensional habitats in the Mediterranean Sea providing several ecosystem services associated with coralligenous reefs.

Journal of Marine Science and Engineering, 2023 Although several bryozoans are considered habitat-former species, allowing colonisation by epibionts and promoting biodiversity, studies dealt so far with only some, usually constructional, species.

Epibiosis, symbiosis and gastropod taphonomy in the deep sea [PDF]
The Paleontological Society Special Publications, 1992 A synthesis of current research suggests several trends in deep sea taphonomy. First, epibiosis (the condition of having bionts on exoskeletons that is not obligate) appears to decrease with increasing depth. Epibionts, such as serpulid polychaetes and barnacles that take advantage of ephemeral hard substrates offered by crab exoskeletons, sea urchin ...

Diversity, 2019 Facilitation by foundation species commonly structures terrestrial and marine communities. Intraspecific variation in individual properties of these strong facilitators can affect the whole suite of the dependent taxa.

The predominantly facultative nature of epibiosis: experimental and observational evidence [PDF]
Marine Ecology Progress Series, 1999 Epibiosis is d spatially close association between 2 or more organisms belonging to the same or different species. Through direct and indirect interactions, this association has major effects on the species involved and on community dynamics. When the effects are predominantly beneficial for epibiont and basibiont, coevolution can be expected to lead ...

Anti-epiphyte defenses in the red seaweed Gracilaria vermiculophylla : non-native algae are better defended than their native conspecifics [PDF]
, 2016 Epibiosis in the marine environment is a stressor that may determine invasion success in introduced species. Previous comparisons showed resistance to epibionts can be higher in non-native than in resident seaweed species, but we do not know whether it ...

Biological features on epibiosis of Amphibalanus improvisus (Cirripedia) on Macrobrachium acanthurus (Decapoda) [PDF]
Brazilian Journal of Oceanography, 2010 This study aimed to describe the epibiosis of barnacles Amphibalanus improvisus on eight adult Macrobrachium acanthurus males from the Mundaú Lagoon, state of Alagoas, Brazil. The number of epibiont barnacles varied from 247 to 1,544 specimens per prawn; these were distributed predominantly on the cephalothorax and pereiopods, but also on the abdomen ...

Zoologia (Curitiba), 2010 During an ecological study of the epibiotic relationship between ciliate protists and Pomacea figulina (Spix, 1827) (Gastropoda, Ampullariidae), originating from an urban stream in southeast Brazil, a high infestation by the peritrich ciliate Carchesium ...

Increased drag reduces growth of snails:comparison of flume and in situ experiments [PDF]
, 1997 Snails Littorina littorea with and without artificial epibionts were exposed in situ for nearly 1 mo. Measurement of individual shell length increase over this period revealed that clean snails grew 3 times faster than fouled snails.
