Intertidal barnacles of Bermuda [PDF]
, 1958 Barnacles collected at seven localities in Bermuda by T. A. and Anne Stephenson while conducting an ecological survey of the intertidal fauna and flora were sent to the author for identification. The collection is of interest since little is known of the

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 ...

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 ...

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 ...

The Barnacles of Fiji, with Observations on the Ecology of Barnacles on Tropical Shores [PDF]
, 1974 Twenty species of barnacles are now known from Fiji as a result of recent collecting. The barnacle fauna has Malaysian affinities, but there are no endemic species. Brief descriptions and notes on habitats are given.

Adult Prey Neutralizes Predator Nonconsumptive Limitation of Prey Recruitment.
PLoS ONE, 2016 Recent studies have shown that predator chemical cues can limit prey demographic rates such as recruitment. For instance, barnacle pelagic larvae reduce settlement where predatory dogwhelk cues are detected, thereby limiting benthic recruitment. However,

Scientia Marina, 2015 This study describes the use of calcein as a chemical tagging methodology to estimate growth rate variation of the stalked barnacle Pollicipes pollicipes, an ecologically important intertidal species and economic resource, in SW Portugal. Calcein tagging

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 ...

The epibiotic relationship between mussels and barnacles [PDF]
, 2014 Epibiosis is an ecological relationship that has been described as one of the closest possible associations in marine ecosystems. In the space limited rocky intertidal, mussel beds provide important secondary space for barnacles.
