Abstract: Abstract Chemosymbiotic bivalves harboring endosymbiotic, chemotrophic bacteria have been investigated from a variety of hydrocarbon seeps worldwide. It has been shown that carbon, nitrogen, and sulfur isotopic compositions of the animal soft body parts are… read more here.

Abstract: Isotope ratios of mollusk shell carbonates are commonly used to reconstruct past environmental conditions, but the shell organic matrix is often overlooked. Here, the authors find the hydrogen and oxygen isotope compositions of the organic… read more here.
