This comprehensive guide to barnacles provides a detailed analysis of the taxonomy, morphology, and distribution of these fascinating and often overlooked creatures. Drawing on a wealth of primary sources, including the collections of the U.S. National Museum, the book offers a clear and concise overview of the different types of barnacles and their habitats, as well as the evolutionary and ecological significance of these animals. Whether you are a biologist, a naturalist, or simply a lover of marine life, this book is an essential resource for understanding the diversity and complexity of the natural world.

The papers in this volume take several forms, from strict chronologies to detailed historical analyses. Topics covered include: towards the history of pre-Linnean carcinology in Brazil; the beginning of Portugese carcinology; from Oviedo to Rathbun; the development of brachturan crab tascononry in the Neotropics (1535-1937); studies on decapod crustaceans of the Pacific Coast of the United States and Canada; women's contributions to carcinology; reflections on crab research in North America since 1758; carcinology in classical Japanese work.

This book is composed of two sections, Ecological and Fundamental Researches and Approach to Antifouling. Both sections contain research trends on barnacles that have been collected from laboratory work and field studies. Section I: Ecological and Fundamental Researches; Chapter One describes the traditional taxonomy and phylogenetic studies of thoracican barnacles based on morphological examinations. Chapter Two reviews ever rearing trials of the lepadid larvae and introduces recent examples of successful rearing of their larvae and settlement. Chapter Three focuses on barnacle larval dispersal and settlement from the ecological aspects, with common and specific mechanisms on the larval dispersal and settlement summarized. In Chapter Four, chemical cues in barnacle larval settlement are described. In Chapter Five, the authors describe the recent advances on the cellular biology of cyprid cement gland and the molecular characteristics of cyprid cement materials of the barnacle, Megabalanus rosa. Chapter Six describes the roles of the larval sense of vision in barnacles. Section II: Approach to Antifouling; Chapter Seven centers around the antifouling properties of soft materials such as silicone and hydrogels against barnacles both in laboratory and field assays. Chapter Eight concerns the settlement of controllable barnacle populations via LED blue light emission. Chapter Nine concludes the book with a discussion about qPCR to species specific detection of barnacle larvae.

The initial attachment of the barnacle is shown to be a purely mechanical hold by the suction cups of the cyprid antennae. An adhesive cement may be secreted for reinforcement but is not essential for permanent attachment. The Balanidae have permanent, periodically functioning glands which are located in the living mantle tissue. These glands develop directly from the cyprid cement glands. The cement glands and the rest of the cementing apparatus of the Balanidae are basically identical with those of the Lepadidae. The cementing apparatus is flushed after each cement secretion. In this way, old ducts are kept open for emergency repair or reattachment. This emergency secretion is expected to be chemically identical to the cyprid and the normally secreted adult cement.
