Is the occurrence of caprellid amphipods associated with Sargassum (Phaeophyta) influenced by algal and hydrozoan epibiosis? [PDF]
, 2009 The presence of epiphytic organisms can influence the distribution of macroinvertebrates associated with algae. This study evaluated the influence of Sargassum epibiosis by epiphytic algae and hydroids on the occurrence of caprellid amphipods.

Does epibiosis facilitate the invasion success of marine benthic invertebrates?
, 2015 The theoretical understanding of invasion success is linked to a variety of drivers including enemy release, facilitation, and competitive ability. Within the marine environment, any bare solid substrate is quickly colonised making free‚ÄövÑvp space for ...

The predominantly facultative nature of epibiosis: experimental and observational evidence [PDF]
, 1999 Epibiosis is a 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.

Gayana, 2022 The first record of the epibiont cirripedium of sea turtles, Chelonibia testudinaria (Linnaeus, 1758), is described for northern Chile (the second record for the species in the country), extending the distribution of this species by almost 10 ...

, 2004 Epibiosis, i.e. an organism (the epibiont) attached to the body surface of another organism (the carrier) is rare in limnetic ecosystems. A frequent epibiont in freshwaters is the rotifer Brachionus rubens, which prefers to live attached to cladocera ...

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 ...

The second skin: Ecological role of epibiotic biofilms on marine organisms
Frontiers in Microbiology, 2012 In the aquatic environment, biofilms on solid surfaces are omnipresent. The outer body surface of marine organisms often represents a highly active interface between host and biofilm.

The impacts of biological invasions
Biological Reviews, Volume 101, Issue 3, Page 1255-1310, June 2026.ABSTRACT The Anthropocene is characterised by a continuous human‐mediated reshuffling of the distributions of species globally. Both intentional and unintentional introductions have resulted in numerous species being translocated beyond their native ranges, often leading to their establishment and subsequent spread – a process referred to as biological
