Cover: Juvenile barnacles of the species
Semibalanus balanoides attaching to a substrate
near Nahant, Massachusetts. Both cyprids (the
terminal larval stage) and newly metamorphosed
juveniles can be seen (adults are at the bottom). A
delay in cyprid metamorphosis reduces the
competitive ability of juvenile barnacles; see
article beginning on page 901.
