Increases in the Abundance of the Invasive Barnacle Elminius modestus Darwin in Ireland

Increases in the Abundance of the Invasive Barnacle Elminius modestus Darwin in Ireland The Australasian barnacle Elminius modestus Darwin was assessed on 89 shores around the Irish coast using abundance scale (ACFOR) methodology. In 2003, E. modestus was present on 43 shores (48%), with a rating of abundant on two shores, and a rating of common on seven shores. Elminius modestus was significantly more abundant on sheltered shores than on moderately exposed or exposed shores. There has been a statistically significant increase in E. modestus since surveys carried out in 1958 and 1995. http://www.deepdyve.com/assets/images/DeepDyve-Logo-lg.png Biology and Environment: Proceedings of the Royal Irish Academy Royal Irish Academy

Abstract

The Australasian barnacle Elminius modestus Darwin was assessed on 89 shores around the Irish coast using abundance scale (ACFOR) methodology. In 2003, E. modestus was present on 43 shores (48%), with a rating of abundant on two shores, and a rating of common on seven shores. Elminius modestus was significantly more abundant on sheltered shores than on moderately exposed or exposed shores. There has been a statistically significant increase in E. modestus since surveys carried out in 1958 and 1995.
