Substrate-controlled naticid gastropod drilling predation on recent barnacles from Chandipur, India and its Palaeontological implications
TLDR
In this paper, the authors reported drilling predation on acorn barnacles by gastropods from Chandipur, eastern India, and found that the aspects of predation have been largely limited to molluscs.Abstract:
The study of drilling predation has been largely limited to molluscs. Herein, we report drilling predation on Recent acorn barnacles by gastropods from Chandipur, eastern India. The aspects of pred...read more

Paleoecology of naticid–molluscan prey interaction during the Late Jurassic (Oxfordian) in Kutch, India: evolutionary implications
TL;DR: It is suggested that both turritellines and naticid evolved during the Jurassic, and the prey–predator interaction between them was established shortly thereafter, and among bivalves, corbulids also became important prey of naticids in the same spatiotemporal framework.

Inferring octopodoid and gastropod behavior from their Plio-Pleistocene cowrie prey (Gastropoda: Cypraeidae)
TL;DR: In this paper, a meta-analysis showed that octopodoids produce significantly more drill holes per drilled molluscan shell than do gastropod drillers, and that most of the drill holes are found in the ventral left-posterior and ventral-left-middle shell regions.

Diversity of Indian Barnacles in Marine Provinces and Ecoregions of the Indian Ocean
TL;DR: The first completed and taxonomically validated literature review on the biodiversity of barnacles (Cirripedia) in India is presented in this paper, where a total of 155 species belonging to 75 genera, 19 families were recorded in India.

Barnacle encrustation on molluscan prey offers associational resistance against drilling predation
TL;DR: The results show that the prey with epibionts are significantly less likely to be drilled when the predator has sufficient choice of prey, consistent with the tenets of the associational resistance.

TL;DR: It is suggested that interactions among most sessile, space-limited invertebrates are best viewed as a balance between negative and positive effects, and that crowding also can positively affect sessiles organisms.

Prey selection and foraging period of the predaceous rocky intertidal snail, Acanthina punctulata
TL;DR: The diet and foraging period of the neogastropod Acanthina punctulata were investigated in order to test various aspects of recent optimal foraging strategy models and suggest that littorines are preferred over barnacles.

Making mountains out of barnacles: the dynamics of acorn barnacle hummocking
TL;DR: In this article, the authors examined hummock development and its consequences on filter feeding and growth in the northern acorn barnacle, Semibalanus balanoides, and found that hummocks can positively affect sessile organisms.
