Geographical and Seasonal Variations of the Shell Microstructures in the Bivalve Scapharca broughtonii

Abstract: Cyclical ontogenetic changes of shell microstructures have been observed in the subfamily Anadarinae (Mollusca: Bivalvia, Arcidae) including fossil taxa. The changes in the bloody clam Scapharca broughtonii are controlled by temperature, which fluctuates seasonally, and can be used to determine the age of the individuals and to reconstruct paleoenvironments. In this study, samples of S. broughtonii from eight localities covering broad geographical regions at various latitudes in Japan, Korea, and Russia were e… Show more

“…Bivalves tightly regulate their shell formation (Ponder, Lindberg & Ponder, 2020), which is a process that often changes over an individual's lifespan [e.g. ontogenetic changes in growth rate (Lorrain et al ., 2004; Carré et al ., 2006); partitioning of carbonate volume among shell sectors (Nishida & Sasaki, 2018); and changing isotopic/elemental composition after reaching sexual maturity (Jones, Williams & Romanek, 1986; Romanek et al ., 1987)]. Shell precipitation is directed by the shell‐facing mantle epithelial cells, which synthesise proteins and other biomacromolecules that regulate CaCO 3 nucleation (Rodríguez‐Navarro et al ., 2016; Wolf et al ., 2016).…”
