Inhibitory effect of ultrasound on barnacle (Amphibalanus amphitrite) cyprid settlement

Journal of Experimental Marine Biology and Ecology, 2011
Abstract The inhibitory effect of ultrasound on barnacle (Amphibalanus amphitrite) cyprid was investigated under three excitation frequencies (23, 63, and 102 kHz). The linear regression models were built to study the effect of ultrasound pressure and exposure time on the cyprid settlement.

siRNA transfection in larvae of the barnacle Amphibalanus amphitrite.

The Journal of experimental biology, 2016
RNA interference (RNAi) provides an efficient and specific technique for functional genomic studies. Yet, no successful application of RNAi has been reported in barnacles. In this study, siRNA against p38 MAPK was synthesized and then transfected into A. amphitrite larvae at either the nauplius or cyprid stage, or at both stages.

Eight polymorphic microsatellite loci markers for the barnacle Balanus amphitrite (syn. Amphibalanus amphitrite) Darwin 1854

Molecular Ecology Resources, 2009
Abstract Balanus amphitrite is a widespread species of barnacle. It is frequently studied, and of great importance to the marine coatings industry due to its significant abundance as a fouling organism on commercial shipping. We isolated and characterized eight highly polymorphic microsatellite loci, to aid in the determination of population genetic ...

Biochemical Analysis of Adhesives Produced by the Cypris Larvae of Barnacle Amphibalanus amphitrite

Thalassas: An International Journal of Marine Sciences, 2016
Barnacles are the dominant organisms in the biofouling communities throughout the world seas and attain considerable ecological and economic significance. In the present study, cement produced by the cypris larva of the barnacle Amphibalanus amphitrite was analyzed to understand the biochemical composition of the adhesive material.

Toxicological response ofAmphibalanus amphitritelarvae as an indirect evaluation of antifouling paints’ efficacy

Chemistry and Ecology, 2011
The evaluation of new antifouling paints is usually performed through long and expensive field tests(raft-tests), often depending on the season of exposure. Particularly in the Mediterranean Sea, these tests are representative only if carried out during spring or summer.

Comparison of seven methods for DNA extraction from prosomata of the acorn barnacle, Amphibalanus amphitrite

Analytical Biochemistry, 2019
Next generation sequencing (NGS) technologies can provide an understanding of the molecular processes involved in marine fouling by Amphibalanus spp. barnacles. Here, seven methods for extracting DNA from A. amphitrite prosomata were assessed with respect to recovery, purity and size distribution.

Thermal desiccation and relative gene expression of HSP90 in an acorn barnacle, Amphibalanus amphitrite

Marine Environmental Research
Sessile and sedentary invertebrates respond to various magnitudes of thermally desiccated stress during tidal emersion, and regulation of body temperature plays a crucial role in survival during an intraday aerial exposure. Survival strategies often include ecological and molecular adaptation strategies such as modifying body temperature (shell ...
