Abstract
During a study of the relation between temperature and cirral activity of barnacles, reported in Part I of this series (Southward, 1955), specimens for investigation were collected from those habitats and tide-levels where the particular species was most abundant. However, it is possible that some variation in behaviour may arise from local environmental factors such as tide-level and degree of exposure to wave action, and experiments were carried out to test this possibility.This publication has 7 references indexed in Scilit:
