Environmental controls on the skeletal mineralogy of marine calcifiers
… The two principle CaCO3 polymorphs used by marine calcifiers are aragonite and calcite. In the abiotic precipitation of CaCO3, the Mg/Ca ratio and the temperature are established controls of polymorph formation, but the importance of other factors, for example salinity, remains uncertain. …

Environmental Change Impacts on Marine Calcifiers: Spatial and Temporal Biomineralisation Patterns in Mytilid Bivalves
Environmental change is a major threat to marine ecosystems worldwide. Understanding the key biological processes and environmental factors mediating spatial and temporal species’ responses to habitat alterations underpins our ability to forecast impacts on marine ecosystems under any range of …

Interactive effects of pH, temperature and exposure period on native and invasive mussels from the West Coast of South Africa
… in anthropogenic carbon dioxide can impact marine calcifying organisms. Shells of marine calcifying organisms protect their internal soft tissue and may be key in determining the susceptibility of marine calcifiers to these environmental stressors. To test this, the effects of pH, …

Influence of Solution Composition and Temperature on the Strontium Content of Amorphous Calcium Carbonate and Subsequent Calcite
… Sr/Ca versus temperature trends observed in marine paleontology. Higher KD, Sr values in marine calcifiers may indicate that organisms use the non-classical mineralization pathway in whole or in part. Future studies of trace element incorporation in calcifying species should consider the …
