- Bone structure and formation: A new perspective (2007, background): “The presence of a transient amorphous CaCO3 precursor phase has been detected in many species (sponge spicules [142,143], sea urchin larval spicules [144,145] and adult regenerating spines [146], mollusk larvae [147,148] and adult nacre [149]).”
- Effect of ocean acidification on the early life stages of the blue mussel Mytilus edulis (2010, background): “This study also reported that these larvae, as showed for other molluscs and echinoderms larvae (Weiss et al., 2002), produce mainly amorphous calcium carbonate during the first 2–3 days of development and aragonite in the following days.”
- Effects of environmental and farm stress on abalone physiology: perspectives for abalone aquaculture in the face of global climate change (2016, background): “Abalone secrete a more soluble CaCO3 and aragonite during the larval stages for shell growth (Weiss et al. 2002; Jardillier et al. 2008) which may make them more susceptible to low pH.”
- Ocean acidification impacts multiple early life history processes of the Caribbean coral Porites astreoides (2011, background): “…that later stabilizes into calcite (Beniash et al., 1997; Politi et al., 2008); similarly, shell formation in mollusk larvae involves an initial, transient ACC phase (Weiss et al., 2002; Marxen et al., 2003), and it has been suggested that the same may be true for corals (Meibom et al., 2004).”
- Meta-analysis reveals negative yet variable effects of ocean acidification on marine organisms. (2010, background): “During these phases of calcification, they may rely on a more soluble mineral form of CaCO3 than the mineral used as an adult (Weiss et al. 2002; Addadi et al. 2003).”
- The Impact of Ocean Acidification on Reproduction, Early Development and Settlement of Marine Organisms (2011, background): “During later larval development CaCO3 deposition is converted to aragonite and following settlement and metamorphosis, calcite, the most stable CaCO3 polymorph, is deposited [72,73].”
- The effects of elevated carbon dioxide concentrations on the metamorphosis, size, and survival of larval hard clams (Mercenaria mercenaria), bay scallops (Argopecten irradians), and Eastern oysters (Crassostrea virginica) (2009, background): “Additionally, the presence of amorphous calcium carbonate, which is substantially more soluble than aragonite (Brecevic and Nielsen 1989), in the shells of larval mollusks (Weiss et al. 2002) likely exacerbates their sensitivity to declining CO 2{ 3 availability.”
- An Overview of Biomineralization Processes and the Problem of the Vital Effect (2003, background): “In particular, all of the silica biominerals reported to date are hydrated (e.g., Lowenstam and Weiner 1989), and there is mounting evidence that many crystalline carbonate biominerals first form as hydrated phases (Beniash et al. 1997, 1999; Weiss et al. 2002; Addadi et al. 2003).”
- Size-dependent pH effect on calcification in post-larval hard clam Mercenaria spp. (2010, background): “The findings of Weiss et al. (2002) support the speculation that a shift in calcification occurs between the Prodissoconch I and II stages, with considerably more aragonite in the Prodissoconch II stage (thus affording the hard clam better ability to withstand lower pH).”
