Limpet disturbance effects on barnacle recruitment are related to recruitment intensity but not recruit size [PDF]
PeerJ, 2020 Intertidal limpets are important grazers along rocky coastlines worldwide that not only control algae but also influence invertebrates such as common barnacles.

Nonconsumptive Predator Effects on Prey Demography: Recent Advances Using Intertidal Invertebrates
Frontiers in Ecology and Evolution, 2021 Predators influence prey demography through consumption, but the mere presence of predators may trigger behavioural changes in prey that, if persistent or intense, may also influence prey demography.

Amphibalanus amphitrite begins exoskeleton mineralization within 48 hours of metamorphosis
Royal Society Open Science, 2020 Barnacles are ancient arthropods that, as adults, are surrounded by a hard, mineralized, outer shell that the organism produces for protection. While extensive research has been conducted on the glue-like cement that barnacles use to adhere to surfaces ...

Metamorphosis in the cirripede crustacean Balanus amphitrite. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2012 Stalked and acorn barnacles (Cirripedia Thoracica) have a complex life cycle that includes a free-swimming nauplius larva, a cypris larva and a permanently attached sessile juvenile and adult barnacle.

Characterization of two 20kDa-cement protein (cp20k) homologues in Amphibalanus amphitrite. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2013 The barnacle, Amphibalanus amphitrite, is a common marine fouling organism. Understanding the mechanism of barnacle adhesion will be helpful in resolving the fouling problem. Barnacle cement is thought to play a key role in barnacle attachment.

Fueling Incubation: Differential Use of Body Stores in Arctic and Temperate-breeding Barnacle Geese (Branta leucopsis) [PDF]
, 2010 We compared the use of body stores in breeding Barnacle Geese (Branta leucopsis) in traditional Arctic colonies in the Barents Sea with that in recently established temperate-zone breeding colonies in the Baltic Sea and North Sea by studying female body ...
