Manipulative field experiments provide a window into the complexity of nature. Yet there is
concern that we lack resolution by conducting experiments on a scale that is too small and …

Wave climate is shifting over the last decades along the Atlantic coasts of Europe ultimately
driven by large-scale patterns of atmospheric variability forced by anthropogenic global …

Barnacles rely heavily on their mobile cirri for food capture because of the sessile lifestyle.
These filamentous food capturing devices are extended into the water current and perform …

Segmented organisms and structures have fascinated biologists since William Bateson first
described homeotic transformation and recognized the fundamental evolutionary …

We introduce a novel model for continuous reversible phenotypic plasticity. The model
includes a one-dimensional environmental gradient, and we describe performance of an …

Most barnacles are sessile, simultaneous hermaphrodites that reproduce by copulation. This
is achieved through the extension of a muscular penis, famous for being the proportionally …

Exposure to wave action and other environmental factors can alter the morphology of
intertidal barnacles. We tested several hypotheses on the causes of morphological variation …

We evaluated density-dependent morphological variation in exoskeletal structures
associated with feeding and reproduction in the intertidal cirripede Jehlius cirratus in Metri …

Siete lussuriosi e sfacciati come coccinelle? Siete alla perenne ricerca del grande amore,
come l'arvicola delle praterie? Lo sapevate che le femmine più anziane di scimpanzé …
