Toward an understanding of the molecular mechanisms of barnacle larval settlement: a comparative transcriptomic approach.

The barnacle Balanus amphitrite is a globally distributed biofouler and a model species in intertidal ecology and larval settlement studies. However, a lack of genomic information has hindered the comprehensive elucidation of the molecular mechanisms coordinating its larval settlement. The pyroseque...
