Diversity of Indian Barnacles in Marine Provinces and Ecoregions of the Indian Ocean

Frontiers in Marine Science, 2021
The present study is the first completed and taxonomically validated literature review of the biodiversity of barnacles (Cirripedia) in India. A total of 144 species in 75 genera and 19 families have been recorded in India.

Complex interplays between limpets and alien species in South Africa: multispecies interactions, zonation and size effects

Frontiers in Marine Science, 2023
Integrating observations and experiments, we address the progressive effects of three alien species, the mussels Mytilus galloprovincialis and Semimytilus patagonicus, and the barnacle Balanus glandula, on limpet species in South Africa. We describe four

High Performance Marine and Terrestrial Bioadhesives and the Biomedical Applications They Have Inspired

Molecules, 2022
This study has reviewed the naturally occurring bioadhesives produced in marine and freshwater aqueous environments and in the mucinous exudates of some terrestrial animals which have remarkable properties providing adhesion under difficult environmental

Learning from Caretta caretta (Linnaeus, 1758) epibionts: a study from the Adriatic Sea

Frontiers in Marine Science, 2023
Epibiont communities can be used as useful ecological indicators, providing information on the ecology and health conditions of their hosts. In this study, we analyzed the cirriped community from a total of 117 dead specimens of Caretta caretta (Linnaeus,

Early Miocene coastal taphonomy: piddock and barnacle inclusions from Chiapas amber [PDF]

Acta Palaeontologica Polonica
Piddocks (Pholadidae) are bivalves adapted for boring in substrates such as wood, rocks, and fossil resins. While the trace fossils associated with their boring behavior (Teredolites and Apectoichnus) are well documented, their body fossils are much ...

Experimental accumulation of microplastics in acorn barnacle Amphibalanus amphitrite and its use in estimating microplastic concentration in coastal waters

Frontiers in Marine Science, 2023
Microplastic (MP) pollution has been an emerging problem in the marine environment over the last few decades. Considering wide-ranging negative impacts of MPs on marine organisms, monitoring MP pollution in marine ecosystems is essential and urgent for ...

Osmoregulation in Barnacles: An Evolutionary Perspective of Potential Mechanisms and Future Research Directions

Frontiers in Physiology, 2019
Barnacles form a globally ubiquitous group of sessile crustaceans that are particularly common in the coastal intertidal. Several barnacle species are described as highly euryhaline and a few species even have the ability to colonize estuarine and ...

Living with marginal coral communities: Diversity and host-specificity in coral-associated barnacles in the northern coral distribution limit of the East China Sea.

PLoS ONE, 2018
Corals and their associated fauna are extremely diverse in tropical waters and form major reefs. In the high-latitude temperate zone, corals living near their distribution limit are considered marginal communities because they are particularly extremely ...

Consequences of climate-driven biodiversity changes for ecosystem functioning of North European rocky shores [PDF]

, 2009
We review how intertidal biodiversity is responding to globally driven climate change, focusing on long-term data from rocky shores in the British Isles.
