Ecological change in dynamic environments: Accounting for temporal environmental variability in studies of ocean change biology
The environmental conditions in the ocean have long been considered relatively more
stable through time compared to the conditions on land. Advances in sensing technologies …

Photosymbiosis and nutrient utilization in giant clams revealed by nitrogen isotope sclerochronology
Giant clams are reef-dwelling bivalves that reach unusual sizes through a partnership with
photosymbiotic algae. To date, no shell-based biogeochemical proxy has been found which …

Ultradian rhythms in shell composition of photosymbiotic and non-photosymbiotic mollusks
NJ De Winter, D Killam, L Fröhlich, L De Nooijer… - …, 2023 - bg.copernicus.org
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 …
