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.

Metamorphosis in a Silurian barnacle [PDF]

Proceedings of the Royal Society B: Biological Sciences, 2005
Exceptionally preserved fossils from the Wenlock Series (Silurian) of Herefordshire, UK, provide unique evidence of metamorphosis from free-swimming cyprid larva to attached juvenile in a Palaeozoic barnacle. The larva had large brush-like anterior limbs.

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 ...

Darwin and barnacles

Comptes Rendus. Biologies, 2010
In this essay, I discuss the origin of Charles Darwin's interest in cirripedes (barnacles). Indeed, he worked intensively on cirripedes during the years in which he was developing the theory that eventually led to the publication of The Origin of Species .

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 ...

Key Biofouling Organisms in Tidal Habitats Targeted by the Offshore Renewable Energy Sector in the North Atlantic Include the Massive Barnacle Chirona hameri

Journal of Marine Science and Engineering, 2023
Marine habitats are being targeted for the extraction of offshore renewable energy (ORE) as part of the drive to decarbonise electricity generation. Unmanaged biofouling impacts ORE devices and infrastructure by elevating drag forces, increasing weight ...

Scientific collaboration in data‐intensive research networks: PhD fellows' expectations and early experiences

Journal of the Association for Information Science and Technology, EarlyView.
Abstract Collaboration has become important at all stages of research careers. In data‐intensive research fields such as wind energy, many PhD fellows are socialized to such collaboration in networks that train a cohort of PhD fellows. Based on interviews with 23 PhD fellows in four wind‐energy training networks, we investigate their expectations and ...
