Barnacles are dominant members of marine biofouling communities throughout much of the world’s oceans. The base of the barnacle attaches to surfaces with secreted proteinaceous adhesives that bond with surfaces and cure. ...

Barnacles can tenaciously adhere to almost any surface. To stick to a surface, glues are released and form an adhesive bond between the surface and the barnacle's base plate. The predomi-nantly proteinaceous glue is ...

We attempted to determine how varying salinity can impact the barnacle. We worked under the hypothesis that barnacles developed in higher and lower salinities than ambient conditions would display significantly lower shell ...

Increasing levels of atmospheric carbon dioxide have led to a reduction in the pH of ocean waters (i.e. ocean acidification, OA) and an associated drop in calcium carbonate saturation states. In many taxa, these changes ...
