Background: Marine biofouling negatively impacts industries reliant upon submerged stationary surfaces. The acorn barnacle Amphibalanus amphitrite is a major biofouler that permanently attaches to a wide array of substrates by producing a proteinaceous adhesive at the surface interface. These interf...

The base of the barnacle Amphibalanus amphitrite has a layer of protein and cuticle that adheres the barnacle to the surface. The proteins in the adhesive have been characterized, but it is unknown whether the adhesive proteins are associated with the cuticle. To address this possibility, we examine...

Cassiosomes are cell clusters that contain symbiotic dinoflagellates and nematocysts and released in a suspension of mucus by the up-side down jellyfish Cassiopea xamachana into the water column. Divers passing Cassiopea colonies experience skin irritation without directly disturbing the jellyfish. ...

Barnacles interest the scientific community for multiple reasons: their unique evolutionary trajectory, vast diversity, and economic impact as a harvested food source and also as one of the most prolific macroscopic hard biofouling organisms. A common, yet novel, trait among barnacles is adhesion, ...
