Passenger for millenniums: association between stenothermic microcrustacean and suctorian epibiont - the case of Eurytemora lacustris and Tokophyra sp
Abstract Epibionts often colonize the exoskeleton of crustaceans, which sometimes results in the development of a long-term relationship between them.
