Abstract
The epibionts of marine megafauna can serve as valuable indicators of the host's health or behaviour; however, only a few studies have attempted to determine how and why epibiont communities vary between host individuals, populations, or even species. Further complicating efforts to compare epibiont communities of marine megafaunas is that measures of epibiont abundance and diversity may be influenced by the sampling methods and timing of the...
