• Hydroides Elegans (Annelida: Polychaeta): A Model for Biofouling Research (2008, background): “The fouling communities that occur on ships and other man-made structures submerged in the sea are diverse assemblages of organisms (Carlton and Hodder 1995 ; Gollasch 2002 ; Godwin 2003) . Due to that diversity, the variety of adhesives that fouling organisms utilize to cement themselves to settlem”
