• Chitin and collagen as universal and alternative templates in biomineralization (2010, background): “The growth in biogeochemistry has led to new research areas where the distinctions between the biological, chemical and earth sciences disciplines melt away (Weiner and Dove 2003).”
• Effect of pH on Gene Expression and Thermal Tolerance of Early Life History Stages of Red Abalone (Haliotis rufescens) (2010, background): “Bivalves and gastropods have some regulatory control over biomineralization, with passive and active ion movement along a calcification compartment isolated from ambient seawater (Weiner & Dove 2003).”
• Scanning transmission X‐ray microscopy study of microbial calcification (2004, background): “In addition, because NEXAFS is only sensitive to the local coordination environments of calcium atoms, Ca L2,3 NEXAFS spectroscopy is applicable to Ca-containing nanocrystals or poorly crystallized solids, which are common in biomineralized systems (Weiner & Dove, 2003).”
