We provide estimates of the number of species in each group. Our classification scheme has been updated based on insights from recent phylogenetic studies and attempts to adjust the higher-level classifications to represent evolutionary lineages better, while documenting the evolutionary diversity of the barnacles. Except where specifically noted, recognized taxa down to family are argued to be monophyletic from molecular analysis and/or morphological data. Our resulting classification divides the Thecostraca into the subclasses Facetotecta, Ascothoracida and Cirripedia. The whole class now contains 14 orders, 65 families and 367 genera. We estimate that barnacles consist of 2116 species. The taxonomy is accompanied by a discussion of major morphological events in barnacle evolution and justifications for the various rearrangements we propose.

K. K. CHAN ET AL. INTRODUCTION to the study of fossil and extant barnacles (Darwin, 1851, 1852, 1854, 1855). Krüger (1940a, b) provided Barnacles are traditionally known as Cirripedia, a comprehensive treatment of both Ascothoracida which comprise an extremely diverse array of sessile and Cirripedia, including physiological and ecological crustaceans that are either acorn, stalked or parasitic issues, and there is still much information to be (Figs 1–5). From the classical taxonomy summarized by gleaned from this rarely cited work. Newman et al.

Chapters (Fig. 2) under Thecostraca. From molecular in the books edited by Southward (1987) and Schram phylogenetic analyses (Pérez-Losada et al., 2008, & Høeg (1995) survey almost all biological issues in 2012a, b, 2014), Thecostraca forms a monophyletic the taxon, and the superb book by Anderson (1994) group, with Facetoteca being the sister group to a clade provides the most recent general account. comprising Ascothoracida and Cirripedia (Figs 3–6). In Cirripede barnacles, with mineralized shell plates, the present study, we consider the evolutionary history have left an impressive palaeontological record and classification of Thecostraca and treat the group (Withers, 1928, 1935, 1953; Newman et al., 1969; as comprising all barnacles in the widest sense.

As explained below, world. However, they deviate from almost all other we choose here not to accept the even earlier fossils, Crustacea in that only the larval stages (naupliar Priscansermarinus Collins & Rudkin, 1981 from and cypridoid) are free-living, whereas the adults are the Cambrian and Cyprilepas Wills, 1962 from the permanently sessile as either suspension feeders or Silurian, as cirripedes. More than 400 fossil species parasites (Figs 1–5). Suspension-feeding barnacles have been described so far, and their study has been normally settle on rocky bottoms (Anderson, 1994), linked directly to the study of barnacle evolution, but several epibiotic taxa prefer to grow on mangrove systematics, taxonomy and morphological adaptations roots (or other marine plants), invertebrates (molluscs, and even ancient cetacean migratory pathways from crustaceans, marine sponges or corals) or vertebrates fossils of cetacean-associated barnacles (Buckeridge (turtles, sea snakes or whales) (Yamato et al., 1996; et al., 2018, 2019; Taylor et al., 2019; Fig. 6).

The Cirripedia barnacles also have a diverse array of hosts, including includes the Thoracica, the Acrothoracica and the soft corals, crustaceans, echinoderms and even sharks Rhizocephala (Fig. 7). The Thoracica are a highly (Høeg et al., 2015; Ommundsen et al., 2016; Figs 1–5). specialized group of suspension feeders.

In the variably-sized zones Carroll, 1996; Miron et al., 1999; Chan & Williams, between these plates, the cuticle is moulted regularly. 2003; Hawkins et al., 2008; Fraser & Chan, 2019; But this occurs in a highly modified fashion that produces Jung et al., 2019), larval settlement (Høeg, 1985; a system of parallel growth lines, also called ‘cuticular Clare, 1995; Walker, 1995; Maruzzo et al., 2012), slips’ (Anderson, 1994; Blomsterberg et al., 2004).
