Barnacle reattachment: a tool for studying barnacle adhesion
Biofouling, 2008Standard approaches for measuring adhesion strength of fouling organisms use barnacles, tubeworms or oysters settled and grown in the field or laboratory, to a measurable size. These approaches suffer from the vagaries of larval supply, settlement behavior, predation, disturbance and environmental stress.

HAEMOGLOBIN is known from many groups of Crustacea, excluding Malacostraca; but it has not previously been found in the non-parasitic Cirripedia1. It is, therefore, interesting to record the occurrence of haemoglobin in Balanus perforatus Bruguiere, a common intertidal barnacle of southern Britain, south-west Europe, the Mediterranean and north-west ...

Making Mountains out of Barnacles: The Dynamics of Acorn Barnacle Hummocking
Ecology, 1998Like plants, sessile invertebrates are often morphologically modified at high densities. At high densities acorn barnacles commonly form hummocks of tall, densely packed individuals. We examined hummock development and its consequences on filter feeding and growth in the northern acorn barnacle, Semibalanus balanoides.

Distribution of Barnacles by Ships
Nature, 1951THE recent establishment of the Australian cirripede Elminius modestus Darwin as a member of the British littoral fauna1 has aroused great interest and speculation. Formerly one of the most geographically confined of all barnacles, it was first discovered in British waters in 1944, since when it has spread rapidly over a wide area of our southern ...

IF a young barnacle is removed from a surface the remains of the antennal suckers, marking the point at which the individual cemented itself as a cypris larva, may sometimes be found near the centre of its base. It has generally been assumed that this point of basal attachment is fixed.

AT the start of an investigation into the rate of feeding of the different species of intertidal barnacles, I was surprised to find that there was very little published information on the methods employed for the capture of food or on the organisms eaten by these ubiquitous animals.

Publisher Summary This chapter begins by discussing the evolution of barnacles and their shells. Later it exemplifies the mechanism of growth, modification of shape, and factors that influence growth rate in barnacles. As in most invertebrates, the rate of growth of juvenile barnacles at first accelerates, and then, with increasing age and maturity ...
