    New insights into oyster high-resolution hinge growth patterns

    While oyster shells are one of the most common mollusks used for the analysis of (paleo)environmental and (paleo)climatic records based on geochemical proxies, high-resolution growth rate changes still need to...

    36 Growth Patterns of Mediterranean Calcifying Cold-Water Corals

    Skeletal growth is a key physiological function, which in the case of calcifying organisms, provides support for the general colony structure together, whilst simultaneously providing protection for internal s...

    38 Cold-Water Coral in Aquaria: Advances and Challenges. A Focus on the Mediterranean

    Knowledge on basic biological functions of organisms is essential to understand not only the role they play in the ecosystems but also to manage and protect their populations. The study of biological processes...

    Chalky versus foliated: a discriminant immunogold labelling of shell microstructures in the edible oyster Crassostrea gigas

    Mollusc shells are organic–inorganic biocomposites, arranged in a limited number of superimposed calcified layers that generally exhibit very different organization of their crystallites. Because of their attr...

    Influence of food supply on the δ13C signature of mollusc shells: implications for palaeoenvironmental reconstitutions

    Compared to oxygen isotopes, the carbon isotope composition of biogenic carbonates is less commonly used as proxy for palaeoenvironmental reconstructions because shell δ13C is derived from both dissolved inorgani...
