Volcano barnacles are common mid- and high-intertidal barnacles found from Baja California, Mexico to central California, USA. In Southern California these barnacles are preyed upon by the southern dogwhelk (Nucella emarginata), which is able to drill through the thick shell of the barnacle (unlike the northern dogwhelks Nucella ostrina and Nucella canaliculata). The thicker shell of the volcano barnacle thus gives them additional predation and physiological protection, compared to that of ecologically similar barnacles from Northern California (Semibalanus cariosus). These data have been produced as part of the CCGP. Sequencing was conducted with HiFi Pacific Biosciences long reads at UCDavis Genome Core, Dovetail's OmniC libraries, and Illumina sequencing at UCBerkeley QB3 Genomics Core.
