Physiological Response of the Giant Acorn Barnacle, Balanus nubilus, to Air Exposure
<p>The giant acorn barnacle, <em>Balanus nubilus</em>, is a resident of the subtidal and low intertidal rocky shoreline on the Pacific Coast of North America (Alaska to Baja California). <em>B. nubilus</em>is notable for having the largest muscle fibers in the animal kingdom; fiber diameters that …

Effect of Oxygen-Limiting Tidal Conditions on Muscle Metabolism and Structure in the Giant Acorn Barnacle, Balanus nubilus
… fiber diameters in the giant acorn barnacle (<em>Balanus nubilus</em>) exceeding 3 mm. Sessile animals with extreme muscle sizes and that live in the hypoxia-inducing intertidal zone – like <em>B. nubilus</em> – represent ideal models for probing the effects of oxygen limitation on muscle cells. …

Adult demography and larval processes in coastal benthic populations : intertidal barnacles in Southern California and Baja California
… current measurements suggested that larvae of Balanus g-landula and Chthamalus spp. may experience limited dispersal. High mortality rates could further limit travel distances and the exchange of individuals among disjunct populations. Data on vertical distributions indicated that nauplii and …
