Studies on the biology of the parasitic isopod Cymothoa exigua Schioedte and Meinert, 1884 and it's relationship with the snapper Lutjanus peru (Pisces: Lutjanidae) Nichols and Murphy, 1922, from commercial catch in Michoacan

Ciencias Marinas, 1992
From commercial catch of the Michoacan fishery, samples of the snapper Lutjanus penu were examined monthly (January to December 1984) for isopod parasites.

Widespread Association of Ciliates Colonizing Gills of Shrimps Inhabiting Vents and Seeps Across the Pacific Ocean

Journal of Eukaryotic Microbiology, Volume 73, Issue 5, September/October 2026.
ABSTRACT Bacterial symbiosis is well‐documented in chemosynthesis‐based ecosystems, but associations with microeukaryotes remain overlooked. In this study, using scanning electron microscopy and 18S rDNA barcoding, we investigate the presence, diversity, and biogeographic patterns of ciliate epibionts associated with two deep‐sea caridean families ...

Continental accumulation of fads2 copy numbers allows sticklebacks to thrive across a diversity of nutritional landscapes

Oikos, Volume 2026, Issue 8, August 2026.
Nutrients, including vital organic compounds, vary in availability across ecosystems, with the potential to act as a source of selection for traits that increase nutrient acquisition and biosynthesis. Compared to freshwaters, marine ecosystems are richer in the omega‐3 long‐chain polyunsaturated fatty acid (n‐3 LC‐PUFA) docosahexaenoic acid (DHA ...

Expansion of the geographic distribution and morphological aspects of Braga patagonica (Isopoda: Cymothoidae) to Eastern Amazon, Brazil

Brazilian Journal of Biology
The Amazon rainforest and its rivers host a vast biodiversity, including many unique yet undiscovered species, particularly among Amazonian fish. These organisms can be susceptible to ectoparasites, such as isopod crustaceans.

Nest boxes as microhabitats supporting diverse arthropod communities

Ecological Entomology, Volume 51, Issue 4, Page 832-837, August 2026.
Diverse Micro‐Habitats: Nest boxes supported 3634 arthropods from 82 families, highlighting their significant conservation value as artificial micro‐habitats for diverse invertebrate communities beyond their primary use for birds. Occupancy Boosts Diversity: Occupied nests exhibited significantly higher arthropod richness, abundance and Shannon ...

Nerocila sp. (Isopoda: Cymothoidae) parasitizing Mugil liza (Teleostei: Mugilidae) in São Francisco do Sul, Santa Catarina, Brazil

Biotemas, 2018
Isopods from the family Cymothoidae are fish ectoparasites displaying low host specificity found commonly attached to the gills, mouth, opercular cavity, nostrils and body surface of several host species.

Along the Benthic to Holoplanktonic Continuum: Seafloor Affinity Increases Distance‐Decay Rates Among Abyssal Communities

Global Ecology and Biogeography, Volume 35, Issue 8, August 2026.
ABSTRACT Aim Marine species ranges are often large, contributing to relatively high community similarity over space, with decreased ranges expected among taxa that have lower dispersal and/or higher substrate requirements. We tested for a weakening of biogeographic structuring among dispersing abyssal taxa along the benthic to holoplanktonic habitat ...

Morphological and molecular characterization of Pleopodias species (Isopoda, Cymothoidae) collected from Japanese waters [PDF]

Nauplius
Cymothoidae are parasitic isopods that infest fishes inhabiting marine, brackish, and freshwater environments. The cymothoids of the genus Pleopodias Richardson, 1910 are crustaceans that parasitize on the body surface of fish.
