Characterization of two 20kDa-cement protein (cp20k) homologues in Amphibalanus amphitrite. [PDF]

open access: yesPLoS 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.

First Record of the Epizoic Octolasmis angulata (Cirripedia) on Maja squinado (Herbst, 1788) (Majoidea, Crustacea) from Çanakkale, Türkiye

open access: yesÇanakkale Onsekiz Mart University Journal of Marine Sciences and Fisheries, 2022
Some morphometric and biological characteristics of a European spider crab, Maja squinado (Herbst, 1788) caught off Aksaz region, (Biga, Çanakkale, Türkiye) were investigated. In addition, an epizoic species infesting this M.

Predation danger can explain changes in timing of migration: the case of the Barnacle goose [PDF]

open access: yes, 2010
Understanding stopover decisions of long-distance migratory birds is crucial for conservation and management of these species along their migratory flyway. Recently, an increasing number of Barnacle geese breeding in the Russian Arctic have delayed their

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

open access: yesPLoS 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.

Phylogeny and adaptative evolution to chemosynthetic habitat in barnacle (Cirripedia: Thoracica) revealed by mitogenomes

open access: yesFrontiers in Marine Science, 2022
Thoracican barnacles represent a unique group that has evolved in parallel identical somatotype s (sessile, stalked and asymmetric) in both normal and chemosynthetic environments.

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

open access: yesGeologica 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 ...
