Marine epibiosis. IV The periwinkle Littonna littorea lacks typical antifculing defences - why are some populations so little fouled? [PDF]
, 1992 Epibiosis on the shells of Littorina littorea (L.) varies between populations. While snails from the Helgoland intertidal zone (North Sea) rarely carry any epibionts, subtidal snails from the Kiel Bight (Baltic Sea) are frequently fouled.

Journal of Marine Science and Engineering, 2022 In spite of the widespread occurrence of epibiotic turtle barnacles (Coronuloidea: Chelonibiidae and Platylepadidae) on extant marine turtles (Chelonioidea: Cheloniidae and Dermochelyidae), and although the association between these cirripedes and their ...

Journal of Animal Ecology, EarlyView.This original research piece demonstrates, through empirical and theoretical modelling approaches, that the epibionts of striped dolphins indicate dolphin abundance shifts caused by epidemics of dolphin morbillivirus (DMV). In addition, we provide the first SIR model to investigate the epidemiology of DMV in western Mediterranean striped dolphins ...

Diversity, 2020 Epibiosis is a common phenomenon in marine systems. In marine environments, ciliates are among the most common organisms adopting an epibiotic habitus and nematodes have been frequently reported as their basibionts.

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 ...

Zooplankton Epibionts in Boreal Lakes: Associations With DOC and Host Community Traits
Freshwater Biology, Volume 70, Issue 12, December 2025.ABSTRACT Epibiosis in aquatic ecosystems is well‐documented, yet the factors influencing epibiont prevalence and host selection remain unclear. This study investigates how water quality parameters and zooplankton community dynamics influence epibiont prevalence, with a focus on ecological implications.

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 ...
