Matching Forces Applied in Underwater Hull Cleaning with Adhesion Strength of Marine Organisms
Journal of Marine Science and Engineering, 2016 Biofouling is detrimental to the hydrodynamic performance of ships. In spite of advances in hull coating technology, a ship must usually undergo underwater hull cleaning to remove biofouling during her in-service time.

Articulation and growth of skeletal elements in balanid barnacles (Balanidae, Balanomorpha, Cirripedia) [PDF]
Royal Society Open Science, 2019 The morphology and ultrastructure of the shells of two balanid species have been examined, paying special attention to the three types of boundaries between plates: (i) radii-parietes, (ii) alae-sheaths, and (iii) parietes-basal plate.

Frontiers in Marine Science, 2022 Oysters and barnacles are dominant inhabitants of natural and restored oyster reefs around the world, and high areal coverage of barnacles at natural or restored reefs commonly decreases substrate accessibility for oyster settlement.

Investigations of the Evolved Molecular Basis for Terpenoid Biosynthesis in Marine Sponges
Advanced Science, EarlyView.Confirming and extending a previous observation in another Bubarida sponge, genomic and functional analyses of A. cavernosa reveal that sponges retain the mevalonate pathway and employ single α‐domain T1TSs and UbiA‐type TSs for terpenoid biosynthesis. The absence of T1TSs clustering with other biosynthetic genes tentatively suggests, based on limited ...

Natural glues and fouling management by interfering with glue curing
Journal of Agricultural and Marine Sciences, 2015 Multidisciplinary approaches and modern technology provide insights to glue curing that are stimulatingand controversial. Our team applies classic and modern theory and techniques to the study of barnacle glue.

Review of the fauna associated with wild and farmed mussels and oysters in the Mediterranean
Biological Reviews, EarlyView.ABSTRACT Mussels and oysters are important ecosystem engineers which modify the physical and chemical characteristics of the environment and create habitats that support highly diverse associated communities. In the Mediterranean Sea, the native Mediterranean mussel Mytilus galloprovincialis and the European flat oyster Ostrea edulis, together the ...

Mitochondrial DNA. Part B. Resources, 2019 Non-monophyletic Poecilasmatids are deep-water epibiotic barnacles and are classified as five-capitular-plate members of the Lepadiformes. Here, we offer the first characterization of the mitogenome of a Poecilasmatid barnacle (Glyptelasma annandalei ...

Direct, but not indirect, predation‐risk cues deter larval settlement in a scyphozoan jellyfish
Journal of Animal Ecology, EarlyView.Predators can shape population dynamics before consumption occurs, with prey using chemical information to guide larval settlement. We show that jellyfish larvae (Aurelia coerulea) respond selectively to predation‐risk cues, reducing settlement in response to predator presence and active predation cues, but not to residual cues from previously preyed ...
