Base plate mechanics of the barnacle Balanus amphitrite (= Amphibalanu s amphitrite)
Biofouling, 2008The mechanical properties of barnacle base plates were measured using a punch test apparatus, with the purpose of examining the effect that the base plate flexural rigidity may have on adhesion mechanics. Base plate compliance was measured for 43 Balanus amphitrite (=Amphibalanus amphitrite) barnacles.

Quantifying the exploratory behaviour ofAmphibalanus amphitritecyprids
Biofouling, 2009The behavioural response of cypris larvae from A. amphitrite (=Balanus amphitrite) exploring three model glass surfaces is quantified by close-range microscopy. Step length and step duration measurements reveal a response to both surface properties and flow.

Barnacles are notorious marine fouling organisms. Their successful attachment to a substrate requires that they search for an appropriate habitat during their cyprid stage. A chemical cue called SIPC (Settlement-Inducing Protein Complex) has been shown to play a key role in the induction of cyprid gregarious settlement; however, the underlying ...

Surface exploration ofAmphibalanus amphitritecyprids on microtextured surfaces
Biofouling, 2011Microtopography is one of several strategies used by marine organisms to inhibit colonization by fouling organisms. While replicates of natural microtextures discourage settlement, details of larval interactions with the structured surfaces remain scarce.

Biofouling, 2009
The scientific names of living organisms can and do sometimes change. Such changes generally reflect advances in knowledge of the relationships of species and/or higher taxa. The new name, Amphibalanus amphitrite (subfamily Amphibalaninae), for a well-known fouling barnacle previously known as Balanus amphitrite (subfamily Balaninae), was proposed in ...

Science of The Total Environment, 2022
Pollution from plastic waste is increasingly prevalent in the environment and beginning to generate significant adverse impact on the health of living organisms. In this study, we investigate the toxicity of polymer nanoparticles exposed to Acorn Barnacle (Amphibalanus amphitrite) nauplii, as an animal model.

Coatings, 2019 With the aim of establishing a protocol for evaluating the efficacy of antifouling paints on different organisms, a flow-through laboratory test using triangular boxes was developed for cyprids of the barnacle Amphibalanus (=Balanus) amphitrite.

Shell Structure and Growth in the Base Plate of the Barnacle Amphibalanus amphitrite
ACS Biomaterials Science & Engineering, 2015The base plate of the acorn barnacle Amphibalanus amphitrite (equivalent to Balanus amphitrite) is composed of hierarchically scaled, mutually aligned calcite grains, adhered to the substratum via layered cuticular tissue and protein. Acorn barnacles grow by expanding and lengthening their side plates, under which the cuticle is stretched, and adhesive

Worldwide genetic differentiation in the common fouling barnacle,Amphibalanus amphitrite
Biofouling, 2014Amphibalanus amphitrite is a common fouling barnacle distributed globally in tropical and subtropical waters. In the present study, the genetic (mitochondrial cytochrome oxidase subunit I) and morphological differentiation in A. amphitrite from 25 localities around the world were investigated. The results revealed three clades within A. amphitrite with

Picophytoplankton Synechococcus as food for nauplii of Amphibalanus amphitrite and Artemia salina
Hydrobiologia, 2019The naupliar forms are important intermediaries between microbial and classical food web as they can efficiently graze on autotrophic picophytoplankton and heterotrophic bacteria in diverse aquatic ecosystems. Current knowledge on feeding behavior of the naupliar grazing on picophytoplankton is limited and need to be explored.
