The impacts of biological invasions

Biological Reviews, Volume 101, Issue 3, Page 1255-1310, June 2026.
ABSTRACT The Anthropocene is characterised by a continuous human‐mediated reshuffling of the distributions of species globally. Both intentional and unintentional introductions have resulted in numerous species being translocated beyond their native ranges, often leading to their establishment and subsequent spread – a process referred to as biological

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.

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.

The Symbiotic Relationship between the Antarctic Limpet, Nacella concinna, and Epibiont Coralline Algae

Journal of Marine Science and Engineering, 2022
The Antarctic limpet, Nacella concinna, is one of the most abundant benthic marine invertebrates found in the intertidal zone of King George Island, Antarctica. The shell of N.

Advances in coral reef restoration in the Mexican Pacific: active interventions and scaling approaches

Restoration Ecology, Volume 33, Issue 8, November 2025.
Abstract Introduction Coral reefs face escalating threats from the synergic effects of natural and anthropogenic stressors, challenging traditional conservation strategies and prompting the emergence of direct intervention approaches for coral reef restoration.

Attachment of the peritrich epibiont Zoothamnium intermedium Precht, 1935 (Ciliophora, Peritrichia) to artificial substrates in a natural environment Colonização de substratos artificiais pelo peritríquio epibionte Zoothamnium intermedium Precht, 1935 (Ciliophora, Peritrichia), em um ambiente natural

Brazilian Journal of Biology, 2008
Peritrich ciliates are commonly found as epibionts, colonizing living organisms, or attached to non-living substrates in freshwater, estuarine and marine environments. Several species of peritrich epibionts are obligate, which means that they are able to

Effect of Cothurnia variabilis and Epistylis gammari (Ciliophora: Peritrichia) on Metabolic Rate of the Crayfish Cambarellus (Cambarellus) montezumae

Diversity, 2021
Peritrichs usually settle on the external surface and gills of crustaceans. However, their physiological effect on the host has not been studied. Respiratory rate is a susceptible index for some factors that affect an organism.

Geographic Genetic Divergence in Tychoplanktonic Taxa Dominating Diatom Communities in Marine Biofilms

Environmental DNA, Volume 7, Issue 3, May–June 2025.
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 ...

Quaternary intensification of spine epibiosis in the cidaroid echinoid Eucidaris: implications for anthropogenic impacts

Frontiers in Marine Science
Echinoids are an integral part of present-day and ancient marine trophic webs, and they host a variety of mutualistic, commensalistic, and parasitic epibionts on their spines and test.
