N2 - Multiple foundation species in a community may exhibit alternative ecological strategies. Barnacles Balanus crenatus Bruguiere and solitary ascidians Styela spp. often co-dominate on mixed sediments in the White Sea shallow subtidal, supporting numerous dependent organisms. Larvae of B. crenatus stay in plankton for several weeks, while ascidian tadpoles float for 1–2 days. Given this difference in spreading potential, we expected recruitment in barnacles and ascidians to be controlled by the factors operating at different spatial scales. In 1999–2010, we annually sampled the community dominated by barnacles and ascidians to relate their recruitment rates to the substrate space availability, abundance of adults, and climatic variables. Most barnacles recruited to the surfaces of shells, stones, and conspecific adults. Ascidian recruits were chiefly found on barnacles. Annual recruitment rates of barnacles and ascidians were strictly correlated and strongly depended on average temperatures of the preceding fal
