Barnacle biology : a thesis consisting of 40 papers published or in press over the years 1967 to 1989

Abstract

Forty papers dealing largely with aspects of the biology of barnacles (Crustacea, Cirripedia, Thoracica) are presented, and discussed in broad terms as to their contributions to the systematics, phylogeny and general biology of barnacles, and the use of barnacles as part of wider questions in marine biology. Particular attention is drawn to review papers on ecology and palaeontology in the book "Barnacle Biology" published by Balkema, Rotterdam, 1987. In these, the other papers of the author are interwoven into interpretations of the lives diversity and history of extant barnacles of the world's oceans.
