The second skin: Ecological role of epibiotic biofilms on marine organisms

open access: yesFrontiers 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.

Limited diversity of epibiont bdelloid rotifers and no pattern of codiversification with the highly diverse endemic amphipods of a coastal zone of Lake Baikal

open access: yesThe European Zoological Journal, 2023
An extreme radiation of hundreds of species of different groups of animals occurred in Lake Baikal, Siberia, Russia; among them, amphipods represent one of the most remarkable groups of invertebrates with about 350 endemic species.

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.

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 ...

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

Molecular responses of seaweeds to biotic interactions: A systematic review

open access: yesJournal of Phycology, Volume 60, Issue 5, Page 1036-1057, October 2024.
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 ...

Ecological and Industrial Implications of Dynamic Seaweed-Associated Microbiota Interactions

open access: yesMarine Drugs, 2020
Seaweeds are broadly distributed and represent an important source of secondary metabolites (e.g., halogenated compounds, polyphenols) eliciting various pharmacological activities and playing a relevant ecological role in the anti-epibiosis. Importantly,

Decreased depth distribution of Fucus vesiculosus (Phaeophyceae) in the Western Baltic: effects of light deficiency and epibionts on growth and photosynthesis [PDF]

open access: yes, 2008
For many coastal areas of the world, a decrease in abundance and depth penetration of perennial macroalgae and seagrasses has been documented and attributed to eutrophication.

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
