A diverse sessile barnacle fauna from a Miocene shallow-water deposit at Dolnja Stara vas in Slovenia is described.It includes the first descriptions of early post settlement juveniles of Actinobalanus sloveniensis at...
The fossil history of turtle and whale barnacles(Coronuloidea:Chelonibiidae,Platylepadidae,Coronulidae and†Emersoniidae)is fragmentary and has only been investigated in part.Morphological inferences and molecular phyl...
Curious eroded depressions,most resembling an eye shedding an elongate tear,are found in gently sloping,intertidal,carbonate-rich arenite outcropping on the sea coast near Lakes Entrance,Victoria,southeast Australia.T...
The author thanks Alan Beu and Hamish Campbell(GNS Science,Lower Hutt,New Zealand)for helpful comments about the Te Aute limestones and the Chatham Islands stratigraphy;Cam Nelson(University of Waikato,Hamilton,New Zealand)provided information on the sedimentology of the Te Aute limestones;Jim Carlton(Williams College,CT,USA)sparked my interest in bio-invasions;Bob Carter(Townsville,Queensland,Australia)and Lionel Carter(Antarctic Research Centre,Victoria University of Wellington,New Zealand)provided data on late Cainozoic paleooceanography and Bill Newman(Scripps Institute of Oceanography,La Jolla,CA,USA)gave thoughtful comments and provided the thin section of Fosterella tubulatoides.
Extensive barnacle coquinas(barnamols)formed around New Zealand’s North and Chatham Islands during the late Pliocene to early Pleistocene.The inner-shelf megabalanine Fosterella is the primary constituent of these li...
Cirripede-like organisms have their origins in the Palaeozoic,but until the Cainozoic,were represented primarily by pedunculated forms,such as the Scalpelliformes.Acorn barnacles(Balanomorpha)are first recorded afte...
We thank Drs Angel Perez Ruzafa and Juan Guillen Nieto(University of Murcia)for aiding our research in Spain.Pablo Del Amor Saavedra and Margaret Carson kindly opened their home to us in Spain,allowing for this research to be completed.Dr John J.McDermott(Franklin and Marshall College)provided helpful comments on a previous draft and Dr Christopher Boyko(Dowling College)provided taxonomic help with the parasitic isopods.The comments from two anonymous reviewers were helpful in the improvement of this work.The support of Hofstra University to the authors is greatly appreciated.
Parasitic isopods(family Bopyridae)and burrowing barnacles(family Trypetesidae)infesting hermit crabs were investigated from shallow subtidal collections made along the southeastern coast of Spain in 2009.A total of 7...

Uniformitarianism permits understanding of the past on the basis of the present,and modeling the future through consideration of the fossil record.The present paper addresses the impact environmental(climatic)change h...
During routine chemical analyses of the stalked ibliform barnacle Chaetolepas calcitergum Buckeridge&Newman 2006,peaks of more than 7%(by dry mass)of bromine were detected.Although bromine ions occur in seawater(up to...
