Synopsis

Major revision of barnacle classification with a comprehensive species catalog

This authoritative work reshapes how we understand Balanomorpha, offering a phylogenetically informed framework, a detailed catalog of species, and new higher taxa that reflect recent evidence.

This edition presents three core parts—evolution, systematics, and a complete catalog of species—treating the group in a modern, integrative way. It consolidates historical classifications and adds new lines of evidence from anatomy, development, and rich collections from around the world. The result is a practical, long‑awaited reference for researchers, students, and librarians alike.

• Groundbreaking reorganization of higher taxa within the Balanomorpha, including a newly proposed family and multiple subfamilies
• An alphabetically arranged catalog of species with original author citations, distribution notes, and key references
• Explanations of how to use the catalog and how to navigate between evolutionary, systematic, and catalog sections
• A broad, bibliographic foundation drawing from extensive literature and museum collections

Ideal for readers who need a reliable, up‑to‑date reference on barnacles, their classification, and their global distribution.
