  2. 1. Molecular biology of barnacle Balanus improvisus settlement

    Author : Anna Abramova; Göteborgs universitet; []
    Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; barnacles; settlement; transcriptomics; ecdysone cascade; chemosensory receptors; waterborne pheromones;

    Abstract : The aim of this thesis was to investigate molecular mechanisms of various aspects of barnacle settlement, using the acorn barnacle Balanus improvisus. This barnacle is a common fouling species and a model organism for studies in settlement biology, in particular in relation to antifouling research. READ MORE

  4. 2. Bioactive Compounds from the Marine Sponge Geodia barretti : Characterization, Antifouling Activity and Molecular Targets

    Author : Martin Sjögren; Lars Bohlin; Per Jonsson; Anna-Karin Borg-Karlsson; Uppsala universitet; []
    Keywords : Pharmacognosy; Geodia barretti; barettin; secondary metabolites; settling inhibition; Balanus improvisus; analogs; 5-HT; Farmakognosi;

    Abstract : The marine sponge Geodia barretti produces a range of secondary metabolites. Two of these compounds were isolated and elucidated guided by their ability to inhibit settlement of cypris larvae of the barnacle Balanus improvisus. READ MORE

  5. 3. Larval behaviour of the barnacle BALANUS IMPROVISUS with implications for recruitment and biofouling control

    Author : Kent M. Berntsson; Göteborgs universitet; []
    Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES;

    Abstract : .... READ MORE

  6. 4. From geography to genes: evolutionary perspectives on salinity tolerance in the brackish water barnacle Balanus improvisus

    Author : Anna-Lisa Wrange; Göteborgs universitet; []
    Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; environmental change; salinity; marine; invertebrates; evolution; plasticity; population genetics; functional genomics; barnacle; osmoregulation;

    Abstract : How species respond to changes in their environment is a fundamental question in biology. This has become an increasingly important issue as anthropogenic effects of climate change and biological invasions have major impacts on marine ecosystems worldwide. READ MORE

  7. 5. Flow effects on settlement and recruitment in the barnacle BALANS IMPROVISUS with applications for biofouling control

    Author : Ann I. Larsson; Göteborgs universitet; []
    Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES;

    Abstract : An understanding of the processes causing patterns of organism distributions in time and space is fundamental in ecology. For sessile marine invertebrates, water motion is an important predictor of distribution patterns, affecting organisms all the way from dispersal to post-settlement recruitment. READ MORE
