This review article summarizes some recent insights into the strategies used by marine organisms to select surfaces for colonization. While larger organisms rely on their sensory machinery to select surfaces, smaller microorganisms developed less complex but still effective ways to probe interfaces. Two examples, zoospores of algae and barnacle larvae, are discussed and both appear to have build-in test mechanisms to distinguish surfaces with different physicochemical properties. Some systematic studies on the influence of surface cues on exploration, settlement and adhesion are summarized. The intriguing notion that surface colonization resembles a parallelized surface sensing event is discussed towards its complementarity with conventional surface analytical tools. The strategy to populate only selected surfaces seems advantageous as waves, currents and storms constantly challenge adherent soft and hard fouling organism.
这篇综述文章总结了海洋生物选择表面进行定殖的一些最新策略。虽然较大的生物依赖其感觉机制来选择表面，但较小的微生物则发展出了不太复杂但仍然有效的方法来探测界面。本文讨论了两个例子，藻类的游动孢子和藤壶幼虫，它们似乎都有内置的测试机制来区分具有不同物理化学性质的表面。还总结了一些关于表面线索对探测、定殖和附着影响的系统研究。本文探讨了表面定殖类似于并行表面感应事件的有趣概念，以及其与传统表面分析工具的互补性。只有选择特定表面进行定殖的策略似乎具有优势，因为波浪、水流和风暴会不断挑战附着的软、硬污损生物。
