1. Low biocide emission antifouling based on a novel route of barnacle intoxication
Abstract : Marine biofouling can be defined as the colonization of man-made surfaces in seawater by microscopic and macroscopic organisms. This phenomenon can result in great loss of function and effectiveness both for cruising ships and for static constructions. READ MORE

2. Molecular biology of barnacle Balanus improvisus settlement
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. Flow effects on settlement and recruitment in the barnacle BALANS IMPROVISUS with applications for biofouling control
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
