Stable isotopes have been extensively used to trace element cycles and their incorporation
into food webs. This chapter provides a brief introduction to the principles of using stable …

Bathymodiolus mussels of the Mytilidae family live in ecological niches at marine vent sites
where hydrothermal fluids discharge at the seafloor and mix with ambient seawater. We …

Stable carbon and oxygen isotopes in the otoliths of Atlantic bluefin tuna Thunnus thynnus
were used to investigate trans-Atlantic movement and natal homing behaviors. Otolith δ 13 …

Introduction Sponges are key components of marine benthic communities, providing many
ecosystem functions and establishing close relationships with microorganisms, conforming …

We compare monthly resolved oxygen isotope records derived from a giant bivalve shell,
Tridacna gigas and massive Porites corals collected along the northern coast of Papua New …

Temperature seasonality during the middle Cretaceous provides vital information about
climate dynamics and ecological traits of organisms under the conditions of the …

Seasonal temperature patterns may have changed through time in response to current
global warming. However, the temporal resolution of available proxy records is not sufficient …

Small-scale heterogeneity of biogenic carbonate elemental composition can be a significant
source of error in the accurate use of element/Ca ratios as geochemical proxies. In this study …

In a rapidly changing world, maintenance of the good health of the marine environment
requires a detailed understanding of its mechanisms of change, and the ability to detect …

Molluscan shell chemistry may provide an important archive of mean annual temperature
(MAT) and mean annual range in temperature (MART), but such direct temperature …
