Barnacles of the superfamily Coronuloidea are epibiotic on marine vertebrates. In the
present study, 13 species in 9 genera of coronulid barnacles were collected in Japan and a …

Since the first volume of The Biology of Sea Turtles was published in 1997, the field has
grown and matured in ways few of the authors would have predicted—particularly in the …

In the marine environment, any exposed, undefended surface will eventually be colonized
by marine propagules (Wahl, 1989). Colonization of inanimate structures (eg, dock pilings …

Turtle barnacles are common epibionts on marine organisms. Chelonibia testudinaria is
specific on marine turtles whereas C. patula is a host generalist, but rarely found on turtles. It …

Human activities involving water may result in a crime scene. Typically, death may be due to
natural causes, homicide, or mass disasters. Decomposition in water is a complex process …

The majority of zoogeographic studies along the Chilean Pacific coast have focused on
benthic organisms and oceanographic conditions are considered the main factors …

Understanding the ecological roles performed by an individual species requires knowledge
from a wide range of disciplines; here we analyze the epibiont–host relationship found in …

The barnacle, Chelonibia testudinaria (Linnaeus, 1758), is reported to associate with nearly
every species of sea turtle and is particularly common on loggerheads, Caretta caretta …

The organismic assemblage associated with Caretta caretta was studied in 37 loggerhead
turtles, washed ashore dead at various localities in the northern Aegean Sea. A total number …

Sea turtles exploit a variety of habitats during their lifetime and are thus exposed to a
number of anthropogenic threats, including interaction with fisheries. Mitigating this impact …
