Nonconsumptive Predator Effects on Prey Demography: Recent Advances Using Intertidal Invertebrates

open access: yesFrontiers 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

open access: yesRoyal 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]

open access: yesPLoS 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.

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

open access: yesMarine 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 ...
