Abstract We report variations in the and 8 0 values of barnacle skeletal carbonate as well as the 8 C and 8 N value of tissue from specimens of the acorn barnacle S. balanoides, as a function of elevation within its living range on the Isle of May, Scotland. Individuals were sampled over a 3.50 m range at 0.25 m intervals (1.00-4.50 m above ordnance damm). Carbonate 8 0 values (2.44 + 0.13%o [Icr], n = 45) and tissue 8 N values (8.17 + 0.42%o, n = 15) do not vary systematically with elevation. The 8 C value of shell carbonate increases with elevation by c. %c (total range — 0.77%o to +0.63%o), but the variability between samples at the same elevation suggests that this relationship will be of limited use in constraining palaeo-elevation.

Settlement. The fixation of the larvae of benthic animals does not take place randomly, but is sometimes guided by the presence of immerged substrata of organic substances deposited by adults previously fixed there. Thus, in the case of Balanus balanoides, the cyprid larvae attach themselves to surfaces where earlier barnacles have deposited a complex mixture of mucopolysaccharides and proteins associated to nucleic acids (Crisp, 1974). This mediator is not specific it is produced by several crustaceans smd has therefore received the name arthropodin. A similar phenomenon was described by Nott (1973) for the annelid Spirorbis spirorbis. [Pg.243]
