Effects of hypoxia and non-lethal shell damage on shell mechanical and geochemical properties of a calcifying polychaete
Calcification is a vital biomineralization process where calcifying organisms construct their calcareous shells for protection. While this process is expected to deteriorate under hypoxia, which reduces the metabolic energy yielded by aerobic respiration, some calcifying organisms were shown to...
