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 …

Traditional molecular methods and omics-techniques across molluscan taxonomy
increasingly inform biology of Mollusca. Recovery of DNA and RNA for such studies is …

Large‐scale anthropogenic mangroves have been constructed in coastal regions worldwide
but our understanding of their ecological effects is limited. In particular, the question of …

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 …

Shellfish and algae mariculture make up an important part of the marine fishery carbon sink.
Carbon sink research is necessary to ensure China achieves its goal of carbon neutrality …

Molluscs are among the most ancient, diverse, and important of all animal taxa. Even so, no
individual mollusc species has emerged as a broadly applied model system in biology. We …

As sequencing becomes more accessible and affordable, the analysis of genomic and
transcriptomic data has become a cornerstone of many research initiatives. Communities …

The hard tissues of animals, such as skeletons and teeth, are constructed by a biologically
controlled process called biomineralization. In invertebrate animals, biominerals are …

The morphology, physiology, and behavior of marine organisms have been a valuable
source of inspiration for solving conceptual and design problems. Here, we introduce this …

Approximately one-quarter of the CO 2 emitted to the atmosphere annually from human
activities is absorbed by the ocean, resulting in a reduction of seawater pH and shifts in …
