“…Young & Christoffersen (1984) attributed some of the barnacle's morphological differences to be the result of adaptation to live on the host, since these species inhabit corals with vertical growth and thus need greater calcareous deposition at their bases. As indicated by Young (1988) the distribution of C. floridana probably coincides with the distribution of its hosts. In Brazil, this species only lives in corals of the suborder Faviina, except for its occurrence on the genus Siderastrea (Young & Christoffersen, 1984), so it appears to have partial host specificity.…”

“…Furthermore, in Brazil, little information is available about the ecology and biology of coral-associated fauna (Young, 1986;Nogueira, 2003). Our knowledge is restricted to taxonomic aspects of barnacles (Young & Christoffersen, 1984;Young, 1986Young, , 1988Young, , 1989, polychaetes (Nogueira & Rizzo, 2001;Nogueira & Amaral, 2000;Neves & Omena, 2003;Nogueira, 2003) hydroids (da Silveira & Migotto, 1984) and bioeroding sponges (Reis & Lea˜o, 2000).…”

This study describes the distribution and abundance patterns of the associate fauna on the living surface of the corals Siderastrea stellata Verril, 1868 and Mussismilia hispida (Verril 1902) using a non-destructive method, on the northern coast of Rio de Janeiro State. For each coral species, infestation density and proportions of infested colonies, colonies attached and unattached to the substrate were estimated. A total of 474 colonies of S. stellata and 452 colonies of M. hispida were examined. The barnacle Ceratoconcha floridana (Pilsbry, 1931) was the dominant coral associate found, followed by gall-crabs of the family Cryptochiridae Paulson, 1875 and the bivalve Lithophaga bisulcata (d'Orbigny, 1842). Both coral species presented similar patterns of infestation dominance. S. stellata colonies were more commonly infested and showed a greater mean infestation density of 0.62 ind/cm 2 at Armac¸a˜o dos Bu´zios, whereas M. hispida colonies had infestation densities of only 0.20 ind/cm 2 . Infestation density does not appear to impact negatively on corals of Armac¸a˜o dos Bu´zios. A clear negative relationship between the number of associates in the coral colony and coral size was found. Evidently abundance and frequency of occurrence of associated fauna is highly related to coral community structure and composition and the results highlight the importance of local scale studies.

Scientific collections represent a highly relevant social legacy. They provide a source for research and production of human resources at several academic levels and play a key role for the preservation of biodiversity. The Invertebrate Collection Paulo Young (CIPY), held at the Universidade Federal da Paraíba (UFPB), contains one of the most complete collections of shallow water marine invertebrates from Northeastern Brazil. It contains about 18,000 catalogued samples, and circa 2-3 times more samples awaiting identification and registration. The samples were collected in a variety of natural and artificial marine environments (e. g., coastal reefs, mangroves, and shipwrecks). The main collection is subdivided into seven main groups (Porifera, Cnidaria, Mollusca, Annelida, Crustacea, Echinodermata, and Ascidiacea), and other smaller groups (Bryozoa, Echiura, Sipuncula, Pycnogonida, Enteropneusta, and marine Turbellaria). Using only identified and registered samples, we catalogued 285 species among the phyla Porifera (89 spp.), Cnidaria (93 spp.), and Echinodermata (103 spp.). The collection has 36 types of species (including three Porifera, one Cnidaria, and four Echinodermata). Considering its representativeness, this collection has a valuable record of Brazilian national marine diversity. Thus, the CIPY deserves to be known, recognized, and made available for study.

“…Most of the information on the distribution and abundance of living pyrgomatid barnacle associates on their coral hosts is from the western Atlantic: Brazil and Costa Rica (Young and Christoffersen 1984; Young 1986, 1988, 1989; Oigman‐Pszczol and Creed 2006), Belize (Highsmith et al . 1983), Trinidad (Bacon 1976), Jamaica and Barbados (Scott 1987), Florida (Wells 1966) and Bermuda (Zullo et al .…”

The bioclaustration of the pyrgomatid barnacle Ceratoconcha aff. costata within the carbonate skeleton of a colonial hermatypical coral (Tarbellastrea reussiana) is described from a middle Miocene basaltic rocky palaeoshore on a small north-eastern Atlantic islet of Porto Santo (Madeira Archipelago, Portugal). The resulting structure is named as a new trace fossil Imbutichnus igen. nov., characterized by a small, funnel-like cavity, a circular to oval crosssection, with a nearly cylindrical shape in the upper part and a conical shape towards the base. Imbutichnus costatum isp. nov. is defined as a bioclaustration structure produced by the overgrowth of a pyrgomatid barnacle by a coral. From an ethologic point of view, Imbutichnus is attributed to the Impedichnia category. In terms of palaeoecology, it is interpreted as the result of a parasitic relationship. This is also the oldest record of pyrgomatid barnacles in the eastern Atlantic and clearly demonstrates that the Miocene palaeogeographic range of Ceratoconcha was much wider than previously assumed.
