The role of seasonality is indisputable in climate and ecosystem dynamics. Seasonal
temperature and precipitation variability are of vital importance for the availability of food …

Over the past decade, sclerochronological research has continued to develop rapidly and is
diversifying with respect to methods, taxa, geographic coverage as well as temporal depth …

The biogenic carbonate hard parts of fossil bivalves, cephalopods and brachiopods are
among the most widely exploited marine archives of Phanerozoic environmental and climate …

Monitoring bioavailable contaminants and determining baseline conditions in aquatic
environments has become an important aspect of ecology and ecotoxicology. Since the mid …

This study presents subdaily resolved chemical records through fossil mollusk shell calcite.
Trace element profiles resolve periodic variability across~ 40‐μm‐thin daily growth laminae …

Biomineralised hard parts form the most important physical fossil record of past
environmental conditions. However, living organisms are not in thermodynamic equilibrium …

Quantitative reconstruction of water temperature from shells of bivalve mollusks is still a very
challenging task. For example, in highly variable environments such as intertidal zones …

Ocean acidification is occurring globally through increasing CO 2 absorption into the oceans
creating particular concern for calcifying species. In addition to ocean acidification, near …

Compound-specific stable nitrogen isotope (δ 15 N) analysis of amino acids (CSIA-AA) can
be used to refine the trophic position (TP) of organisms and determine the ecosystem δ 15 N …

Trace elements of bivalve shells can potentially serve as proxies of environmental change.
However, to reconstruct past environments using the geochemical properties of the shells …
