Increased drag reduces growth of snails:comparison of flume and in situ experiments [PDF]
, 1997 Snails Littorina littorea with and without artificial epibionts were exposed in situ for nearly 1 mo. Measurement of individual shell length increase over this period revealed that clean snails grew 3 times faster than fouled snails.

Report of epibiont Thecacineta calix (Ciliophora: Suctorea) on deep sea Desmodora (Nematoda) from the Andaman Sea, Indian Ocean [PDF]
, 2009 Suctorian epibionts Thecacineta calix attached on the cuticle of nematodes Desmodora sphaerica and D. pontica are reported here from the deep sea hexactinellid sponge Pheronema sp. from the Andaman Sea (Indian Ocean). The epibiont T.

Predation and epibiosis on egg capsules of the Shorttail fanskate, Sympterygia brevicaudata
Revista de Biología Marina y Oceanografía, 2022 After deposition, chondrichthyan egg capsules are frequently exposed to numerous threats that affect their survival. However, the ecological factors affecting the development and survival of embryos inside egg capsules remain unclear. The aims of this study was to quantify and describe two ecological factors that affect of the Shorttail fanskate ...

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.

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 ...

Fouled snails in flow:potential of epibionts on Littorina littorea to increase drag and reduce snail growth rates [PDF]
, 1996 Epibiosis is one of the closest interspecies associations. The presence of epibionts potentially causes a multitude of beneficial or detrimental effects for the basibiont.
