DOI: 10.1093/mollus/eyx033
Abstract: Mollusc shells are typically made of calcite, aragonite or, in rare cases, vaterite (Weiner et al., 2009; Ehrlich, 2010). These minerals are interspersed with protein matrix and sometimes pigments (Comfort, 1949a; Hedegaard, Bardeau & Chateigner,… read more here.

A rare example of non-native chitons: broad intertidal habitat range and large densities of Sypharochiton pelliserpentis show no evidence of habitat engineering effect in South Australia

DOI: 10.3391/ai.2019.14.2.07
Abstract: There are numerous examples of non-indigenous rocky-intertidal mobile invertebrate species, but there have been very few instances of introductions of chitons despite their often high abundance in fouling assemblages where non-indigenous species originate. In 2016,… read more here.
