Abstract: Arctica islandica is the longest-living non-colonial animal known at present. It inhabits coastal waters in the North Atlantic and its annual shell increments are widely used for paleoclimatic reconstructions. There is no consensus, however, about… read more here.

DOI: 10.1007/s00227-017-3238-2
Abstract: A detailed characterisation of the organic composition of Arctica islandica (Linnaeus, 1767) shells with homogenous microstructure is compared with nacroprismatic shells of Pinctada fucata martensii (Dunker, 1872), Hyriopsis cumingii (Lea, 1852) and Diplodon chilensis patagonicus… read more here.

DOI: 10.1016/j.palaeo.2015.12.018
Abstract: Abstract Ba/Ca shell time-series of marine bivalves typically show flat background levels which are interrupted by erratic sharp peaks. Evidence from the literature indicates that background Ba/Ca shell ratios broadly reflect salinity conditions. However, the… read more here.

DOI: 10.1017/qua.2019.20
Abstract: Abstract The Arda and Stirone marine successions (Italy) represent key sections for the early Pleistocene; they were deposited continuously within a frame of climate change, recording the Calabrian cooling as testified by the occurrence of… read more here.

DOI: 10.3389/fmars.2019.00483
Abstract: The Northwest Atlantic is a key region with an essential role in global climate regulation, redistributing heat and influencing the carbon cycle. However, little is known about its evolution before 1950, mainly because of the… read more here.
