Following our previous report (Yamamoto et al. r19951 Zool. Sci., 12:391-396) in which we demonstrated that protein kinase C (PKC) plays an important role in larval metamorphosis of the barnacle Balanus amphitrite, we examined the effects of a range of neurotransmitters, including serotonin (5-hydro

For barnacles that live gregariously, chemical cues from conspecifics are believed to induce settlement of cypris larvae. A new assay system, using nitrocellulose membranes, has been developed to study cyprid settlement in response to adsorbed proteins. Using this assay, water-soluble extracts from
Many species of barnacles live gregariously, and chemical cues from conspecifics are believed to induce settlement of cypris larvae. Settlement-inducing factors from the adult barnacle Balanus amphitrite have been partially purified using a nitrocellulose membrane-based assay. The assay was designed
