This dissertation compares the reproductive ecology of three species of intertidal barnacles in the context of their life histories. Emphasis is placed on the patterns of reproduction shown by similar species exploiting different but overlapping ranges of the intertidal zone. The intertidal environment imposes stringent gradients of greater physical stress in the high range of tidal exposure and increasing biological complexity at the low range of tidal exposure. Selection for differing adaptive modes of reproduction, recruitment, growth, and survivorship may be expected in species occupying different positions along these environmental gradients. Ideally, the problem is not just to measure how particular aspects of these modes differ...
