Being young in a changing world: how temperature and salinity changes interactively modify the performance of larval stages of the barnacle Amphibalanus improvisus [PDF]
The fate of key species, such as the barnacle Amphibalanus improvisus, in the course of global change is of particular interest since any change in their abundance and/or performance may entail community-wide effects.

The cirripedes of Curaçao and the southern borders of the Caribbean Sea have not been investigated hitherto. A collection of the littoral forms made by Doctor C. J. VAN DER HORST in 1920 contains the following species. Descriptions, figures and references to other literature of the species may be found in the Monographs of DARWIN ¹) and of PILSBRY ²).

Remarkable convergent evolution in specialized parasitic Thecostraca (Crustacea)
Background The Thecostraca are arguably the most morphologically and biologically variable group within the Crustacea, including both suspension feeders (Cirripedia: Thoracica and Acrothoracica) and parasitic forms (Cirripedia: Rhizocephala ...

Growth and breeding of a primitive stalked barnacle Leucolepas longa (Cirripedia: Scalpellomorpha: Eolepadidae: Neolepadinae) inhabiting a volcanic seamount off Papua New Guinea [PDF]
A pedunculate barnacle, Leucolepas longa, occurs in densities over 1000 individuals m[minus sign]2 on the summit of a small seamount near New Ireland, Papua New Guinea.

New marine heterotardigrade lineages (Echiniscoididae) from the tropics
Echiniscoididae are the only family of the clade Echiniscoidea residing in marine habitats. Their characteristic feature is the multiplication of claws on legs, commonly regarded as an adaptation to unstable tidal environment. Although DNA barcoding data

Habitat and distribution of the warm-water barnacle Solidobalanus fallax (Crustacea: Cirripedia) [PDF]
New records are given of the occurrence of the warm-water barnacle Solidobalanus fallax in Britain and Europe. This barnacle is not found on rocks or stones, but settles on biological substrata, including algae, cnidarians, bivalves, gastropods and ...
