Intersite epibiosis characterization on dominant mangrove crustacean species from Malaysia [PDF]
Contributions to Zoology, 2009 Epibiosis was studied in dominant mangrove crustacean species in several areas in Malaysia. The observed basibionts were the crustaceans Mesopodopsis orientalis, Acetes japonicus, Acetes sibogae, Acetes indicus and Fenneropenaeus merguiensis and the epibionts found were the protozoan ciliates Acineta branchicola, Lagenophrys eupagurus, Conidophrys ...

Marine epibiosis. III. Possible antifouling defense adaptations in Polysyncraton lacazei (Giard) (Didemnidae, Ascidiacea) [PDF]
, 1991 Polysyncraton lacazei (Giard), a colonial tunicate of the western Mediterranean, seems to be well-protected against epibiosis. Out of several thousand potential colonizers estimated, only one kamptozoan species, Loxocalyx sp., is found with some ...
