Periwinkle regulation: parasitism and epibiosis are linked

Marine Ecology Progress Series, 2017
The common periwinkle Littorina littorea is recognized as a keystone species in coastal habitats of the North Atlantic, and hence, interactions among factors influencing these snails' population dynamics are of ecological interest. Here, I address the relationship between 2 regulating forces, parasitism and epibiosis, in a Danish population of ...

Posibles mecanismos químicos y biológicos para el control de la epibiosis de las esponjas Aplysina insularis y Aplysina lacunosa (Demospongiae, Verongida)

Acta Biológica Colombiana, 2007
Las esponjas Aplysina insularis (con epitelio libre de epibiontes), y Aplysina lacunosa (con epitelio recubierto por epibiontes) fueron escogidas como modelo para estudiar algunos de los mecanismos químicos y bacterianos que podrían determinar su grado ...

REPORT OF COMMENSAL INTERACTION BETWEEN Lepas (Lepas) anatifera LINNAEUS, 1758 (CIRRIPEDIA: LEPADIDAE) AND Stenocionops furcatus (OLIVIER, 1791) (DECAPODA: EPIALTIDAE), COLLECTED IN A MARINE PROTECTED AREA IN NORTHEASTERN BRAZIL

Environmental Smoke
We report the first documented occurrence worldwide of the goose barnacle Lepas (Lepas) anatifera Linnaeus, 1758 as an epibiont on the furcate spider crab Stenocionops furcatus.

Sponges (Porifera) associated with the decorator crab Macrocoeloma nodipes (Desbonne in Desbonne & Schramm, 1867): three new records for Mexican waters [PDF]

Check List
Sponges and decapods share diverse ecological interactions, including epibiosis in which sponges colonize crab carapaces. We report three sponge species—Stelletta kallitetilla (Laubenfels, 1936), Hymeniacidon heliophila (Wilson, 1911), and ...

Macroalgae Associated with Mangrove Roots in Mexico: Status of Current Knowledge

Phycology
Phycological knowledge in Mexico has primarily focused on intertidal zones, coral reefs, and, to a much lesser extent, mangroves. In mangroves, there are isolated studies on various areas of the country, and in many cases, references are made to the ...

Porifera Associated with Deep-Water Stylasterids (Cnidaria, Hydrozoa): New Species and Records from the Ross Sea (Antarctica)

Journal of Marine Science and Engineering
Stylasterid corals are known to be fundamental habitat-formers in both deep and shallow waters. Their tridimensional structure enhances habitat complexity by creating refuges for a variety of organisms and by acting as basibionts for many other ...

Chemical Defence of a Seagrass against Microfoulers and Its Seasonal Dynamics

Applied Sciences, 2019
In marine environments bacterial microfoulers are an important determinant for the settlement of algal and animal macrofoulers. At the same time fouling is usually subject to seasonal fluctuation.

Density, size structure, shell orientation and epibiontic colonization of the fan mussel Pinna nobilis L. 1758 (Mollusca: Bivalvia) in three contrasting habitats in an estuarine area of Sardinia (W Mediterranean)

Scientia Marina, 2009
We investigated the spatial distribution, size structure, shell orientation and valve colonization by epibionts of the endangered Mediterranean bivalve Pinna nobilis in three continuous but different habitats in the Gulf of Oristano (Sardinia, western ...

Epistylid ciliates as epibionts on calanoid copepods in an Amazonian floodplain lake (Batata Lake) [PDF]

Acta Limnologica Brasiliensia
Aim The main objective was to investigate changes in the prevalence and infestation intensity of the epibiotic relationship (ciliates/calanoids) in relation to the impact of bauxite tailings (natural and impacted areas) during two distinct periods of the

Epiphytic macroalgae of maricultured Sargassum and their potential utilizations

Aquatic Living Resources
Epiphytism commonly occurs in marine benthic macroalgae and seagrass communities under natural conditions and those of mariculture. This can greatly obstruct the cultivation of commercial seaweeds and ultimately impacts the seaweed aquaculture industry ...
