| Abstract |
Laboratory-reared barnacle larvae were used to study natural products from whip corals. Biological assays used barnacle responses in behavioral assays and in larval settlement assays. Whip corals contained substances that were active in both assays. Substances inhibiting swimming and reversible attachment of barnacle larvae were found in an aqueous extract of whip corals. Low-molecular-weight substances inhibiting barnacle settlement were found in a methylene chloride extract of material soluble in aqueous methanol. Antisettlement activity was associated with substances with specific mobilities in several chromatography systems. Partially purified material was effective in preventing settlement at concentrations of less than 0.2 μ/ml. Settlement inhibition involves adsorption of the natural product to surfaces. |

Attention Score in Context
This research output has an Altmetric Attention Score of 6. This is our high-level measure of the quality and quantity of online attention that it has received. This Attention Score, as well as the ranking and number of research outputs shown below, was calculated when the research output was last mentioned on 24 December 2020.
All research outputs
#4,697,128
of 22,790,780 outputs
Outputs from Journal of Chemical Ecology
#300
of 2,049 outputs
Outputs of similar age
#1,092
of 9,852 outputs
Outputs of similar age from Journal of Chemical Ecology
#2
of 6 outputs
Altmetric has tracked 22,790,780 research outputs across all sources so far. Compared to these this one has done well and is in the 76th percentile: it's in the top 25% of all research outputs ever tracked by Altmetric.
So far Altmetric has tracked 2,049 research outputs from this source. They typically receive a little more attention than average, with a mean Attention Score of 6.1. This one has done well, scoring higher than 78% of its peers.
Older research outputs will score higher simply because they've had more time to accumulate mentions. To account for age we can compare this Altmetric Attention Score to the 9,852 tracked outputs that were published within six weeks on either side of this one in any source. This one has done well, scoring higher than 75% of its contemporaries.
We're also able to compare this research output to 6 others from the same source and published within six weeks on either side of this one. This one has scored higher than 4 of them.
