Marine species introduction via reproduction and its response to ship transit routes
Frontiers 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)
Journal 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.

Macromolecular 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.

Mitogenomics supports the monophyly of Mysidacea and Peracarida (Malacostraca)
Zoologica Scripta, Volume 51, Issue 5, Page 603-613, September 2022., 2022 Abstract Here, we provide the first complete mitochondrial genomes for two higher taxa of Peracarida, Lophogastrida and Stygiomysida. We examined Lophogaster typicus as a representative of Lophogastrida and Spelaeomysis bottazzii as a representative of Stygiomysida.

Ecology and Evolution, Volume 12, Issue 7, July 2022., 2022 Most of previous studies on coral reef symbiotic fauna were focused on diversity and host usages. How these invertebrates start their life with their host is almost unknown. Our study provides a breakthrough in the field of coral reef symbiosis by examining how fire coral associated barnacles explore, settle, metamorphose to start the symbiotic life ...

New Marine Antifouling Compounds from the Red Alga Laurencia sp.
Marine 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]
PLoS 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.

Ecology and Evolution, Volume 12, Issue 6, June 2022., 2022 Ocean acidification can affect the ability of marine calcifying organisms to build and maintain mineralized tissue and poses a threat for all marine calcifying taxa, including the physiologically robust crustaceans. Here, we present a systematic review and meta‐analysis on the effects of ocean acidification on the crustacean exoskeleton, assessing both
