  1. 1. Low biocide emission antifouling based on a novel route of barnacle intoxication

    Författare :Emiliano Pinori; Göteborgs universitet; []
    Nyckelord :NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; antifouling; Barnacles; ivermectin; low biocide emission; marine fouling; marine paint; ISO 15181; ToF-SIMS;

    Sammanfattning : Marine biofouling can be defined as the colonization of man-made surfaces in seawater by microscopic and macroscopic organisms. This phenomenon can result in great loss of function and effectiveness both for cruising ships and for static constructions. LÄS MER

  3. 2. Molecular biology of barnacle Balanus improvisus settlement

    Författare :Anna Abramova; Göteborgs universitet; []
    Nyckelord :NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; barnacles; settlement; transcriptomics; ecdysone cascade; chemosensory receptors; waterborne pheromones;

    Sammanfattning : The aim of this thesis was to investigate molecular mechanisms of various aspects of barnacle settlement, using the acorn barnacle Balanus improvisus. This barnacle is a common fouling species and a model organism for studies in settlement biology, in particular in relation to antifouling research. LÄS MER

  4. 3. Pharmacological agents targeted against barnacles as lead molecules in new antfouling technologies

    Författare :Mia Dahlström; Göteborgs universitet; []
    Nyckelord :NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; cypris larvae; settlement assay; adrenoceptor compounds; imidazoline binding site ligands; wettability; surface adsorption; ToF-SIMS; barnacle field recruitment; antifouling; release; HPLC; ellipsometry;

  5. 4. Flow effects on settlement and recruitment in the barnacle BALANS IMPROVISUS with applications for biofouling control

    Författare :Ann I. Larsson; Göteborgs universitet; []
    Nyckelord :NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES;

    Sammanfattning : An understanding of the processes causing patterns of organism distributions in time and space is fundamental in ecology. For sessile marine invertebrates, water motion is an important predictor of distribution patterns, affecting organisms all the way from dispersal to post-settlement recruitment. LÄS MER

  7. 5. From geography to genes: evolutionary perspectives on salinity tolerance in the brackish water barnacle Balanus improvisus

    Författare :Anna-Lisa Wrange; Göteborgs universitet; []
    Nyckelord :NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; environmental change; salinity; marine; invertebrates; evolution; plasticity; population genetics; functional genomics; barnacle; osmoregulation;

    Sammanfattning : How species respond to changes in their environment is a fundamental question in biology. This has become an increasingly important issue as anthropogenic effects of climate change and biological invasions have major impacts on marine ecosystems worldwide. LÄS MER
