The phrase "associated species" is correct and usable in written English.
It can be used in contexts related to biology, ecology, or environmental science to refer to species that are linked or related to one another in a particular ecosystem or study.
Example: "The research focused on the interactions between the primary species and their associated species in the habitat."
Alternatives: "related species" or "connected species".
Fisheries landing data of kelp associated species was used to support the suggested change in kelp abundance.
On the Rockall Escarpment, a large number of morphotypes were encrusting sponges mainly associated with bare rock faces while on the Acesta Wall, fewer associated species were observed growing on the smaller coral colonies.
In contrast, more loosely associated species may have quite different patterns of speciation, indicating 'jumps' to unrelated hosts (Fig. 2b).
Koizumi (Koizumi and Sakamoto 2012, 2013) added associated species and created the Td′ ratio of Koizumi (2008).
In addition, we are working on general biology and ecology of these so-called sympagic (ice- associated) species and communities.
For example, we might expect that intimately associated species such as a parasite and its host would have similar branching patterns (Fig. 2a).
Human cases associated to the newer marine mammals-associated species have also been reported [15], [16].
Free-living and host-associated species occurred in a mixed pattern, suggesting independent origins of host-association.
Not snag-associated species increased in salvaged areas, but only in the Mediterranean Basin.
A common problem among cement mining companies, according to Whitten, is that environmental impact assessments they carry out are often of a poor quality and focus on birds and mammals and don't give enough attention to limestone-associated species.
Further, the influence surrounding forest stand structure on assemblages of wetland-associated species in managed forests are poorly understood.
