Barnacles: Recent Progress in Biology and Antifouling
| العنوان: | Barnacles: Recent Progress in Biology and Antifouling |
|---|---|
| الوصف: | 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. |
