Here we intend to understand the dynamics of diatom communities in marine biofilms on plastics at different levels: how taxa are selected from the planktonic community and how communities are structured over time and on a large spatial scale. ABSTRACT Diatoms constitute the main photosynthetic group in marine biofilms throughout the world's oceans, in ...

Periwinkle regulation: parasitism and epibiosis are linked
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 ...

Molecular responses of seaweeds to biotic interactions: A systematic review
Abstract Seaweed farming is the single largest aquaculture commodity with >30 million tonnes produced each year. Furthermore, the restoration of lost seaweed forests is gaining significant momentum, particularly for kelps in warming temperate areas. Whether in aquaculture settings, following restoration practices, or in the wild, all seaweeds undergo ...

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

Predation and epibiosis on egg capsules of the Shorttail fanskate, Sympterygia brevicaudata
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 ...

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

Systematics and character evolution of capitate hydrozoans
Abstract Capitate hydrozoans are a morphologically and ecologically diverse hydrozoan suborder, currently including about 200 species. Being grouped in two clades, Corynida and Zancleida, these hydrozoans still show a number of taxonomic uncertainties at the species, genus and family levels.

Global introductions and environmental impacts of freshwater megafish
Of the 134 extant freshwater megafish species, 46% have been introduced outside of their native ranges. Over 50% of the alien megafish species with sufficient data to evaluate the severity of their environmental impacts have caused population declines or even extirpations of native species.
