In the laboratory, coronate larvae of the cellularoid bryozoan Bugula stolonifera Ryland are eaten by the barnacle Balanus eburneus Gould, whereas the larger larvae of Bugula neritina (Linnaeus) are rejected as food. We tested the potential effects of this differential predation in the field by comparing settlement of the two bryozoan species on shells of living and dead barnacles at three scales: among barnacles, among barnacle wall plates, and within wall plates. In neither species was there a significant difference in overall settlement density between living and dead barnacle shells, but the spatial distributions of both species were influenced by barnacle-feeding activities at the smallest scale.
