MKK3 was involved in larval settlement of the barnacle Amphibalanus amphitrite through activating the kinase activity of p38MAPK. [PDF]

open access: yesPLoS ONE, 2013
The p38 mitogen-activated protein kinase (p38MAPK) plays a key role in larval settlement of the barnacle Amphibalanus amphitrite. To study the signaling pathway associated with p38MAPK during larval settlement, we sought to identify the upstream kinase ...

Predicting effects of multiple interacting global change drivers across trophic levels

open access: yesGlobal Change Biology, Volume 29, Issue 5, Page 1223-1238, March 2023., 2023
We propose that reaction norms provide insights to the underlying mechanisms of community responses to multiple global change drivers. We illustrate how joint driver impacts can be scaled up from the population to the community level, building on consumer–resource models and thermal reaction norms.

Assessing the impacts of anthropogenic sounds on early stages of benthic invertebrates: The “Larvosonic system”

open access: yesLimnology and Oceanography: Methods, Volume 21, Issue 2, Page 53-68, February 2023., 2023
Abstract Noise produced by human activities has increased in the oceans over the last decades. Whereas most studies have focused on the impact of anthropogenic noise on marine mammals and fishes, those focusing on marine invertebrates are rarer and more recent, especially when considering peri‐metamorphic benthic stages, highly sensitive to ...

Marine species introduction via reproduction and its response to ship transit routes

open access: yesFrontiers in Ecology and the Environment, Volume 20, Issue 10, Page 581-588, December 2022., 2022
Abstract The introduction of nonindigenous species (NIS) threatens global ecosystems and results primarily from human transportation and trade activities. Although some NIS can disperse immediately upon arrival (for example, mobile species), actual inoculation for other (sessile) species can require a reproductive event to produce propagules that ...

Functional morphology of cirri in the barnacle Amphibalanus improvisus (crustacea: Balanidae)

open access: yesJournal of Morphology, Volume 283, Issue 11, Page 1439-1450, November 2022., 2022
First 3D analysis of skeleton‐muscular system of cirri. Serrate setae of cirri IV–VI likely create “zipper‐like effect.” First description of the second flexor muscle in cirrus II. Grooming and food transfer supported by microstructure. Abstract Barnacles rely heavily on their mobile cirri for food capture because of the sessile lifestyle.

Influence of Sharklet‐Inspired Micropatterned Polymers on Spatio‐Temporal Variations of Marine Biofouling

open access: yesMacromolecular Bioscience, Volume 22, Issue 11, November 2022., 2022
This paper investigates the influence of bioinspired micropatterned polymers on the settlement of marine microfouling and macrofouling. Sharklet‐based micropatterns are replicated on polymers with various chemical and mechanical properties. The micropatterned substrates are immersed at two contrasting sites and in two different seasons.

Balanus amphitrite or Amphibalanus amphitrite? A note on barnacle nomenclature

open access: yes
In a recent revision of the Balanidae based on morphological systematics, the much studied fouling species Balanus amphitrite was renamed Amphibalanus amphitrite. Here, the case is made for retaining the former nomenclature.

New Marine Antifouling Compounds from the Red Alga Laurencia sp.

open access: yesMarine Drugs, 2017
Six new compounds, omaezol, intricatriol, hachijojimallenes A and B, debromoaplysinal, and 11,12-dihydro-3-hydroxyretinol have been isolated from four collections of Laurencia sp. These structures were determined by MS and NMR analyses. Their antifouling

Expression of calmodulin and myosin light chain kinase during larval settlement of the Barnacle Balanus amphitrite. [PDF]

open access: yesPLoS ONE, 2012
Barnacles are one of the most common organisms in intertidal areas. Their life cycle includes seven free-swimming larval stages and sessile juvenile and adult stages.
