Zooplankton Epibionts in Boreal Lakes: Associations With DOC and Host Community Traits

open access: yesFreshwater 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

open access: yesJournal 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.

Los organismos incrustantes de las costas argentinas [PDF]

open access: yes, 1972
Se ha estudiado la fijación de flora y fauna marinas sobre Ulva lactuca. Se eligieron dos zonas de trabajo, dentro y fuera del puerto de Mar del Plata, a fin de determinar cuáles son los factores que condicionan los fenómenos de epibiosis.

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

open access: yesDiversity, 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.

Epibiosis in decapod crustaceans by stalked barnacle Octolasmis lowei (Cirripedia: Poecilasmatidae) [PDF]

open access: yesZoologia (Curitiba), 2013
Stalked barnacles Octolasmis lowei Darwin, 1851 are frequently found attached to decapod crustaceans. Their epibiotic association depends on many factors, which are mainly related to characteristics of the host's biology. This study evaluated the infestation and distribution of stalked barnacles in the branchial chambers of crabs, and analyzed the data

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

open access: yesEnvironmental 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 ...

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

open access: yesBrazilian 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

Invasive barnacle fouling on an endemic burrowing crab mobile basibionts as vectors to invade a suboptimal habitat [PDF]

open access: yes, 2014
Neohelice (Chasmagnathus) granulata is an ecosystem engineer endemic of salt marshes and mudflats of the southwestern Atlantic coast, where several Patagonian salt marshes were invaded by the acorn barnacle Balanus glandula, a typical rocky shore species.
