Brazilian Archives of Biology and Technology, 2017 Epibiosis was understood as a commensalism relation between two or more organisms. However, some studies have shown that epibionts can cause deleterious effects to their host.

Epibiosis and parasitism of coquina clam Donax spp.: Location, location, location!
Invertebrate Biology, Volume 142, Issue 2, June 2023., 2023 Abstract Cryptic species of coquina clams Donax fossor and D. variabilis carry the hydroid epibiont Lovenella gracilis and are infected with metacercariae of the monorchiid parasites Lasiotocus trachinoti and L. choanura. The associations among this host–epibiont–parasite system were investigated.

Aquatic Conservation: Marine and Freshwater Ecosystems, Volume 33, Issue 3, Page 298-311, March 2023., 2023 Abstract The aim of the present study was to propose a biotic index (North Adriatic Mesophotic BiogEnic Reefs, NAMBER) suitable for assessing the ecological quality of the mesophotic biogenic reefs of the northern Adriatic continental shelf based on photographic sampling.

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.

Oecologia, 1990 Polysyncraton lacazei is a colonial tunicate (family didemnidae) living in the NW-mediterranean rocky sublitoral. A thorough scanning of numerous colonies revealed that in spite of an apparently heavy local fouling pressure only one fouling species - a kamptozoan - is encountered with some regularity on Polysyncraton.

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 ...

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 ...

Editorial for Special Issue “Meiofauna Biodiversity and Ecology”
Diversity, 2020 Meiofauna are a component of aquatic environments from polar to tropical regions. They may colonize all types of habitats and include very enigmatic and exclusive taxa.

Acta Scientiarum: Biological Sciences, 2017 This paper describes the epibiosis of Ostrea cf. puelchana on Callinectes exasperatus (Gerstaecker, 1856), both collected from the estuary of the Paraíba River, in the state of Paraíba, northeastern Brazil.
