The evolutionary effects of glacial periods are poorly understood for Southern Hemisphere marine intertidal species, particularly obligatory sessile organisms. We examined this by assessing the phylogeographic patterns of the southern African volcano barnacle, Tetraclita serrata, a dominant species on rocky intertidal shores. Restricted gene flow in some geographical areas was hypothesized base...

The reproductive biology of eastern Atlantic barnacles has been studied extensively, with emphasis on the role of temperature in regulating reproduction (e.g., Crisp, 1950, 1954; Patel and Crisp, 1960a; Barnes, 1963; Barnes and Stone, 1973). However, there has been much less work on cirripedes elsewhere in the world. This paper compares the reproductive cycles and brood production of three spec...

The aim of this paper is threefold: First and foremost we would like to propose a new strategy of phonetic speech research that can be distinguished from more traditional research programs in more than one important aspect. As directly opposed to the classical analysis-by-synthesis paradigm our second aim is to install the new paradigm of synthesis-by-analysis. And our third aim is to convince ...
