Contributions should discuss physiological, morphological and
biochemical adaptations to moderate and extreme environmental
conditions such as salinity, temperature, oxygen concentration and so
on.

living organisms and predator-prey relations as well as parasite-host
interactions. We are particularly interested in long-term dynamics of
interactions between two or more species of individual, population or

Dominant in Epibiotic Communities".
