Over the past decade, sclerochronological research has continued to develop rapidly and is
diversifying with respect to methods, taxa, geographic coverage as well as temporal depth …

Strontium is a chemical element without biological functions in humans. In fact, only two
biological roles are known, both as a biomineral constituent. However, strontium and …

Ocean acidification can negatively impact marine bivalves, especially their shell
mineralization processes. Consequently, whether marine bivalves can rapidly acclimate and …

Abstract Rare Earth Element and Yttrium (REY) have become emerging contaminants in the
hydrosphere. REY contamination has been recorded worldwide and raises concerns about …

Calcite and aragonite growth rate experiments have been performed in the presence of
aqueous Ba at 25° C using the constant addition technique as a function of CaCO 3 mineral …

Freshwater is an essential resource for human life; however, its future availability is of
ongoing concern due to the impacts of climate change, industry, and population pressures …

Biogenic carbonates, including bivalve shells, record past environmental conditions, but
their interpretation requires understanding environmental and biological factors that affect …

Giant clams produce massive calcified shells with important biological (eg, defensive) and
ecological (eg, habitat-forming) properties. Whereas elevated seawater temperature is …

Horizon scanning is an increasingly common strategy to identify key research needs and
frame future agendas in science. Here, we present the results of the first such exercise for …

The chemical composition of mollusk shells is a useful tool in (paleo) climatology since it
captures inter-and intra-annual variability in environmental conditions. Trace element and …
