Over het archief
Het OWA, het open archief van het Waterbouwkundig Laboratorium heeft tot doel alle vrij toegankelijke onderzoeksresultaten van dit instituut in digitale vorm aan te bieden. Op die manier wil het de zichtbaarheid, verspreiding en gebruik van deze onderzoeksresultaten, alsook de wetenschappelijke communicatie maximaal bevorderen.
Dit archief wordt uitgebouwd en beheerd volgens de principes van de Open Access Movement, en het daaruit ontstane Open Archives Initiative.

| Abstract |
By impacting the structure of the seaweed host population, epiphytes, endophytes, and parasites may affect the species community with which the host interacts. These intimate associations have been hardly studied beyond a descriptive stage. The scarcity of epidemiological studies in natural populations of seaweeds is a major gap for the understanding of naturally occurring mechanisms impacting ecosystem functioning. However, major progresses have been done in recent years in characterizing some mechanisms of cross-talk involved in host specificity, the role of bacterial biofilms in mediating some interactions, as well as host defenses that impact the diversity of these associations through allelopathic interactions. Close associations are also providing both an economic burden and new opportunities in human affairs, as seaweed aquaculture develops worldwide and in the context of environment-friendly strategies to cope with fouling organisms, respectively. |
