Ocean acidification is considered detrimental to marine calcifiers, but mounting contradictory
evidence suggests a need to revisit this concept. This systematic review and meta‐analysis …

Most molluscs possess shells, constructed from a vast array of microstructures and
architectures. The fully formed shell is composed of calcite or aragonite. These CaCO3 …

Much recent marine research has been directed towards understanding the effects of
anthropogenic-induced environmental change on marine biodiversity, particularly for those …

Biomineralization is one of the key processes that is notably affected in marine calcifiers
such as oysters under ocean acidification (OA). Understanding molecular changes in the …

Mollusc shells are a result of the deposition of crystalline and amorphous calcite catalyzed
by enzymes and shell matrix proteins (SMP). Developing a detailed understanding of …

Contaminants of Emerging Concerns (CECs) are defined as chemicals not commonly
monitored in aquatic ecosystems, but with the potential to cause adverse effects on biota …

Ocean acidification can severely affect bivalve molluscs, especially their shell calcification.
Assessing the fate of this vulnerable group in a rapidly acidifying ocean is therefore a …

The broadly utilized biocide triclosan (TCS) is continuously discharged in water
compartments worldwide, where it is detected at concentrations of ng-µg/L. Given its …

Heatwaves are becoming hotter, longer and more frequent, threatening the survival of
intertidal bivalves and devastating their ecosystems. Yet, substantially overlooked are …

Ocean acidification (OA) is a major threat to marine calcifiers, and little is known regarding
acclimation to OA in bivalves. This study combined physiological assays with next …
