Relevance of mytilid shell microtopographies for fouling defence - a global comparison [PDF]

, 2010
Prevention of epibiosis is of vital importance for most aquatic organisms, which can have consequences for their ability to invade new areas. Surface microtopography of the shell periostracum has been shown to have antifouling properties for mytilid ...

Molecular responses of seaweeds to biotic interactions: A systematic review

Journal 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 ...

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.

Systematics and character evolution of capitate hydrozoans

Cladistics, Volume 40, Issue 2, Page 107-134, April 2024.
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.

Posibles mecanismos químicos y biológicos para el control de la epibiosis de las esponjas Aplysina insularis y Aplysina lacunosa (Demospongiae, Verongida)

Acta Biológica Colombiana, 2007
Las esponjas Aplysina insularis (con epitelio libre de epibiontes), y Aplysina lacunosa (con epitelio recubierto por epibiontes) fueron escogidas como modelo para estudiar algunos de los mecanismos químicos y bacterianos que podrían determinar su grado ...

REPORT OF COMMENSAL INTERACTION BETWEEN Lepas (Lepas) anatifera LINNAEUS, 1758 (CIRRIPEDIA: LEPADIDAE) AND Stenocionops furcatus (OLIVIER, 1791) (DECAPODA: EPIALTIDAE), COLLECTED IN A MARINE PROTECTED AREA IN NORTHEASTERN BRAZIL

Environmental Smoke
We report the first documented occurrence worldwide of the goose barnacle Lepas (Lepas) anatifera Linnaeus, 1758 as an epibiont on the furcate spider crab Stenocionops furcatus.

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

Check List
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 ...

Global introductions and environmental impacts of freshwater megafish

Global Change Biology, Volume 30, Issue 4, April 2024.
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.

Complex Patterns of Habitat Use by Juvenile Spider Crabs Maja Brachydactila Revealed by Stable Isotope Analyses [PDF]

, 2005
[Abstract] Patterns of habitat use by spider crab juveniles, Maja brachydactila, from two geographic areas in the NW coast of the Iberian Peninsula, were analyzed through the analysis of Carbon and Nitrogen stable isotope relations in two tissues (muscle
