Porifera Associated with Deep-Water Stylasterids (Cnidaria, Hydrozoa): New Species and Records from the Ross Sea (Antarctica)

open access: yesJournal of Marine Science and Engineering
Stylasterid corals are known to be fundamental habitat-formers in both deep and shallow waters. Their tridimensional structure enhances habitat complexity by creating refuges for a variety of organisms and by acting as basibionts for many other ...

Epiphytic macroalgae of maricultured Sargassum and their potential utilizations

open access: yesAquatic Living Resources
Epiphytism commonly occurs in marine benthic macroalgae and seagrass communities under natural conditions and those of mariculture. This can greatly obstruct the cultivation of commercial seaweeds and ultimately impacts the seaweed aquaculture industry ...

Epistylid ciliates as epibionts on calanoid copepods in an Amazonian floodplain lake (Batata Lake) [PDF]

open access: yesActa Limnologica Brasiliensia
Aim The main objective was to investigate changes in the prevalence and infestation intensity of the epibiotic relationship (ciliates/calanoids) in relation to the impact of bauxite tailings (natural and impacted areas) during two distinct periods of the

Epibionts on Arenaeus cribrarius (Brachyura: Portunidae) from Brazil

open access: yesZoologia (Curitiba), 2010
Mean prevalence and intensity of infestations by epibionts were evaluated in Arenaeus cribrarius (Lamarck, 1818), based on monthly samplings (May/1991 to April/1993), in Ubatuba, Brazil.

Relaciones bipartitas macroalgas epizoicas-cangrejos en lechos de macroalgas en la costa suroriental de Cuba

open access: yesNovitates Caribaea
El exoesqueleto de los crustáceos constituye un sustrato adecuado para que las macroalgas marinas desarrollen epibiosis. Entre los años 2018 y 2023 se recolectaron 58 individuos de crustáceos con macroalgas sobre sus exoesqueletos en seis localidades de ...
