This review of copepod crustaceans associated with reef-dwelling cnidarians, sponges and
echinoderms of the Greater Caribbean is based on published records, systematically …

Coral-associated fauna predominantly consists of invertebrates and constitutes an important
component of coral reef biodiversity. The symbionts depend on their hosts for food, shelter …

This paper reviews all currently known records of copepod crustaceans of the family
Lamippidae (Cyclopoida). The lamippids are highly modified endosymbionts found only on …

Coral reefs are one of the most diverse marine ecosystems on Earth and one of the richest in

An increasing number of artificial reefs (ARs) are constructed to compensate for the loss of
natural reefs (NRs), but little is known about their benthic community composition. Here, we …

Scleractinian corals provide habitats for a broad variety of cryptofauna, which in turn may
contribute to the overall functioning of coral symbiomes. Among these invertebrates …

This research provides an extensive analysis of the biodiversity and distribution patterns of
copepod crustaceans associated with octocoral species. A comprehensive dataset …

Zanclea divergens is a tropical hydrozoan living in symbiotic association with bryozoans and

The recent rise in ocean temperatures, accompanied by other environmental changes, has
notably increased the occurrence and spread of diseases in Octocorallia, many species of …

Most marine palaemonid shrimp species live in symbiosis with invertebrates of various
phyla. These associations range from weak epibiosis to obligatory endosymbiosis and from …
