First record of epibiosis between the rotifer Brachionus urceolaris Müller, 1773 and the cladoceran Moina minuta Hansen, 1899 in Brazilian continental waters [PDF]
Epibiosis between rotifers and cladocerans is a facultative association that has been documented in several regions worldwide; however, to date, there have been no formal records for Brazilian inland waters.

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.

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]
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.

Data_Sheet_1_Sea Turtle Epibiosis: Global Patterns and Knowledge Gaps.PDF
Competition for space drives many marine propagules to colonize the external surfaces of other marine organisms, a phenomenon known as epibiosis. Epibiosis appears to be a universal phenomenon among sea turtles and an extensive body of scientific ...

Epibiosis por algas sobre Emerita analoga (Stimpson 1857) en playas arenosas de la costa peruana [PDF]
La epibiosis es una interacción facultativa no simbiótica principalmente acuática, donde un organismo (epibionte) utiliza al otro como sustrato (basibionte). Frecuentemente, los crustáceos decápodos son basibionte debido a su exoesqueleto duro.

Ciliate-zooplankton epibiosis in Lake St Lucia. [PDF]
Doctor of Philosophy in Life Sciences. University of KwaZulu-Natal, Durban, 2018.Epibiosis is a symbiotic association of two organisms in which one species (epibiont) uses the surface of another species (basibiont or host) as an attachment substrate.
