Summary: This study examined the vertical distribution and concentration of barnacle cyprids in a shallow, nearshore region in southern California, and found that thermal stratification increases larval supply to the nearshore and enhances onshore larval transport. There were diel differences in cyprid distributions, with higher concentrations at night.

Summary: A comparative study on the larval physiology of space-monopolizing barnacles exposed to different primary productivity environments found that despite different levels of productivity, lipid allocation and settlement success were comparable between the two species. This suggests that even in lower productivity environments, larvae are able to store enough lipid reserves to support development.

Summary: Through studying coral-associated barnacles, we found that the morphology of their attachment organs is similar regardless of host species, and the settlement and metamorphosis processes are influenced by chemical cues. Larvae of barnacles with different host specificities only settle on their specific hosts, with one species displaying exploratory behavior before settlement while the other species settles directly. These findings suggest that host specificity and exploratory behavior in barnacle larvae are results of adaptive evolution.

Summary: The vertical distribution of barnacle larvae in the Bay of Cartagena, Chile, was examined in this study. It was found that the vertical distribution of barnacle larvae differed between summer and spring and was influenced by environmental conditions. In summer, barnacle larvae were mainly found in the bottom layer during the day and the surface layer at night, while in spring, they were mainly concentrated in the upper layer. This suggests that the vertical distribution of barnacle larvae is influenced by multiple factors.

Summary: This study predicts the distribution of V. lucetia larvae under different thermal conditions using fish larvae abundance data and the machine learning algorithm XGBOOST. The models accurately predict the spatial distribution but not the abundance magnitude.

Summary: Myctophid fish, such as Electrona antarctica, play a significant role as a trophic link between zooplankton and higher predators in the Southern Ocean. This study found that larval E. antarctica mainly feed on phyto-detritus, diatom frustules, and larvacean filters, rather than zooplankton, during their early developmental stages. This knowledge contributes to our understanding of the life history of E. antarctica and the oceanic food webs in the Southern Ocean.

Summary: The study revealed that the diet of the diamond stingray primarily consists of infaunal and epibenthic invertebrates, with a preference for bivalves. Differences in diet were observed among females of different ages and seasons, indicating a specialized feeding strategy targeting three main prey categories.

Summary: The study assessed the spatial variation in community structure among 30 areas for the management and exploitation of benthic resources in central Chile, identifying key external factors influencing benthic associations. The research found strong associations between benthic community structure and terrain and surface-ocean conditions, with fishery-related variables having little effect. These results provide valuable insights for improving ecosystem assessments and management strategies in the future.

Summary: The blue mussel Mytilus chilensis is an endemic and key socioeconomic species on the southern coast of Chile, supporting a booming aquaculture industry. However, its production is threatened by microorganisms, pollution, and environmental stressors. Understanding the genomic basis of local adaption is important for sustainable shellfish aquaculture.
