The paper examines the limitations of using phylogeny alone for higher classification in barnacles, highlighting the need for complementary criteria beyond topology.

The paper observes route-dependent foraging behavior in brown boobies on a ferry, finding more dives and birds on routes departing from a nesting-rich island.

This study reassesses species boundaries and host associations in the barnacle genus Platylepas using morphology and genetic data, finding P. ophiophila is a valid species and reports its first occurrence on a sirenian host.
