Temperature, species identity and morphological traits predict carbonate excretion and mineralogy in tropical reef fishes
Marine fishes can substantially contribute to the inorganic carbon cycle through the excretion of intestinally precipitated carbonates, but the underlying drivers remain largely unknown. This study identifies the environmental factors and fish traits that predict carbonate excretion rate and mineral...
