Comparative analysis of stalked and acorn barnacle adhesive proteomes

Open Biology, 2021
Barnacles interest the scientific community for multiple reasons: their unique evolutionary trajectory, vast diversity and economic impact—as a harvested food source and also as one of the most prolific macroscopic hard biofouling organisms.

Light-sheet microscopy for high-resolution imaging of Caudoeuraphia caudata (Pilsbry, 1916), a new record of acorn barnacle from Thailand’s coast and its application in taxonomic identification and micro-morphological studies [PDF]

Songklanakarin Journal of Science and Technology (SJST), 2021
The acorn barnacle (Cirripedia: Balanomorpha) is a sessile crustacean arthropod, distributing around the intertidal areas of tropical and temperate regions worldwide.

Adhesive proteins of stalked and acorn barnacles display homology with low sequence similarities. [PDF]

PLoS ONE, 2014
Barnacle adhesion underwater is an important phenomenon to understand for the prevention of biofouling and potential biotechnological innovations, yet so far, identifying what makes barnacle glue proteins 'sticky' has proved elusive.

Barnacle hypersensitivity

Allergologia et Immunopathologia, 2002
the aim of the present study is to investigate the responsible mechanism of different adverse reactions suffered by five patients, aged between six and thirty years-old, after consumption of barnacle. The symptoms were angioedema, dyspnea, generalized urticaria, conjunctivitis and one of them suffered from anaphylactic reaction.

Transcriptomic analysis of neuropeptides and peptide hormones in the barnacle Balanus amphitrite: evidence of roles in larval settlement. [PDF]

PLoS ONE, 2012
The barnacle Balanus amphitrite is a globally distributed marine crustacean and has been used as a model species for intertidal ecology and biofouling studies. Its life cycle consists of seven planktonic larval stages followed by a sessile juvenile/adult

The planktonic food web in the Gulf of Naples based on the analysis of carbon and nitrogen stable isotope ratios

Marine Ecology, EarlyView., 2023
Abstract Plankton play a key role in marine food webs by producing and transferring organic matter and energy to higher trophic levels. To define the trophic structure and interactions within the planktonic communities in the Gulf of Naples, we determined carbon and nitrogen stable isotope ratios in particulate organic matter (POM, <20 μm ...

Palaeoenvironmental analysis of the Miocene barnacle facies: case studies from Europe and South America

Geologica Carpathica, 2018
Acorn barnacles are sessile crustaceans common in shallow-water settings, both in modern oceans and in the Miocene geological record. Barnacle-rich facies occur from polar to equatorial latitudes, generally associated with shallow-water, high-energy ...

Biochemistry of Barnacle Adhesion: An Updated Review

Frontiers in Marine Science, 2019
Barnacles are notorious marine fouling organisms, whose life cycle initiates with the planktonic larva, followed by the free-swimming cyprid that voluntarily explores, and searches for an appropriate site to settle and metamorphoses into a sessile adult.

The early Pliocene Titiokura Formation: stratigraphy of a thick, mixed carbonate-siliciclastic shelf succession in Hawke's Bay Basin, New Zealand [PDF]

, 2004
This paper presents a systematic stratigraphic description of the architecture of the early Pliocene Titiokura Formation (emended) in the Te Waka and Maungaharuru Ranges of western Hawke's Bay, and presents a facies, sequence stratigraphic, and ...

Pliocene Te Aute limestones, New Zealand: Expanding concepts for cool-water shelf carbonates [PDF]

, 2003
Acceptance of a spectrum of warm- through cold-water shallow-marine carbonate facies has become of fundamental importance for correctly interpreting the origin and significance of all ancient platform limestones.
