Mollusk shells contain many isotopic clues about calcification physiology and environmental
conditions at the time of shell formation. In this review, we use both published and …

Physiology corrupts geochemical records of mollusk shells in many ways, eg, by actively
controlling the incorporation of trace elements in the skeleton. However, the effects of …

Isotope paleontology uses the isotopic composition of fossil remains of organisms to make
inferences about the physical surroundings of growth of the organisms (especially …

Water temperature, oxygen isotope composition and the δ13C of dissolved inorganic carbon
were measured in 2 southern Michigan rivers, the Huron River and Fleming Creek, between …

Revised and updated, it reflects the recent developments and changing emphasis in the
field of paleoecology. While the basic organization remains the same as the original edition …

We measured annual shell growth rates of a 374-year-old (radiometrically confirmed)
bivalve mollusk specimen of Arctica islandica (Linnaeus). This bivalve represents the oldest …

Mussels of a similar size, originating from the same population, have been grown in the field
and the high resolution distribution of Mg, Mn, Sr, Ba and Pb in their calcite shell layer, as …

To investigate the applicability of oxygen isotope themometry using fish aragonite, the δ 18
O values of paired otolith and water samples were analyzed from six large modem …

Paleotemperatures have been widely deduced from skeletal 18O/16O ratios, but these are
also dependent on salinity. Without an independent measure of salinity, 18O/16O ratios …

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 …
