An important resource for understanding bio-adhesion mechanisms: Cement gland transcriptomes of two goose barnacles, Pollicipes pollicipes and Lepas anatifera (Cirripedia, Thoracica)

Marine Genomics, 2019
Barnacles are sessile organisms globally distributed in marine and estuarine environments. The production of protein-based adhesives by cement glands is crucial for these organisms and plays a vital role in substrate attachment, thus inspiring ...

A new barnacle (Cirripedia: Neobalanoformes) from the early Miocene of Peru: Palaeoecological and palaeobiogeographical implications

Neues Jahrbuch für Geologie und Paläontologie - Abhandlungen, 2019
A new megabalanine barnacle, Austromegabalanus carrioli sp. nov., is described from lower Miocene strata of the Chilcatay Formation (East Pisco Basin, southern Peru).

Crustacean-sponge symbiosis: collecting and maintaining sponge-inhabiting barnacles (Cirripedia: Thoracica: Acastinae) for studies on host specificity and larval biology

Journal of Crustacean Biology, 2019
Sponges are common in coral reefs and provide secondary habitats and shelter to a very diverse associated biota. To examine the symbiotic relationships between crustacean associates and their sponge hosts, the most important step is to collect live ...

Rhizocephalans (Crustacea: Cirripedia) from Taiwan

Journal of Natural History, 1998
One species of shrimp and sixteen species of brachyuran crabs are parasitized by rhizocephalans in Taiwanese waters. Ten of the crabs have never before been recorded as hosts of rhizocephalans. Eight species of rhizocephalans occur in Taiwan. Four species, Diplothylacus taiwanensis, D. calappae, Sacculina scutigera and S.

Dosima fascicularis Crustacea, Cirripedia

2019
The buoy barnacle, Dosima fascicularis, is a pedunculate barnacle with a swollen capitulum bearing five large plates (two scuta, two terga and a carina) and a naked stalk. The shell plates are very thin and delicate. The tergum and the scutum are translucent, light bluish-purple in color, with their external surfaces delicately granular (Figure 2a,

Introduction to the Rhizocephala (Crustacea: Cirripedia)

Journal of Morphology, 2001
AbstractKnowledge about the Rhizocephala (parasitic barnacles) has increased exponentially over the past two decades. This introduction broadly reviews this progress, touching on rhizocephalan morphology, life‐cycles, larval biology, and the effects on the crustacean hosts.

Paleogene Verrucidae (Cirripedia: Verrucomorpha) of North America, with descriptions of three new species.

Zootaxa, 2019
In North America, Paleogene Verrucidae are rarely encountered. Only a single named species has been previously discussed by Zullo Baum (1979), who provisionally assigned a Palaeocene form from North Carolina to Verruca rocana Steinmann, 1921.

Phylogenetic position of Antarctic Scalpelliformes (Crustacea: Cirripedia: Thoracica)

Deep Sea Research Part I: Oceanographic Research Papers, 2013
The phylogenetic relationships of seven Antarctic barnacle species, one verrucomorph and six scalpelliforms from the Scotia, Weddell and Ross seas were investigated using DNA sequences from two nuclear genes (18 S and 28 S) and one mitochondrial gene (COI), with a combined total length of 3,151 base pairs. Analyses of these new sequences, together with
