The anti-settling effect against the barnacle has been shown in vitro: [9] When the barnacle cyprid larva encounters a surface containing medetomidine the molecule interacts with the octopamine receptor in the larva. This causes the settling larva to increase its kicking to more than 100 kicks per minute, which makes becoming sessile nearly ...
The bay barnacle, Balanus improvisus, described by Charles Darwin, on a shell of the sand gaper clam Mya arenaria. This is a list of taxa described by Charles Darwin. [1] Many of them are barnacles from his study of that group. [2] [3] [4] Balanus improvisus, bay barnacle; Colorhamphus parvirostris, Patagonian tyrant; Acasta cyathus, sponge ...

Xenobalanus globicipitis is a species of pseudo-stalked barnacle. [1] It is usually spotted on the appendages of at least 34 species of cetaceans , commonly baleen whales and bottlenose dolphins . This species is not technically a true stalked barnacle , hence the 'pseudo' in its name.
It arrived in the bay because many oysters there were infected by Haplosporidium nelsoni and stocks were replenished by importing eastern oysters (Crassostrea virginica) from the Gulf of Mexico. Accompanying these oysters were some crabs Eurypanopeus depressus which were parasitized by L. panopaei , the parasitic barnacle thus was inadvertently ...
