Physiological and ecological responses of crustaceans to ocean acidification (2011, unknown): “Calcification processes in crustaceans are likely to be less vulnerable to ocean acidification than those present in echinoderms or molluscs, because exoskeletal CaCO3 is mostly in the more stable form of calcite rather than the more soluble aragonite (Boßelmann et al. 2007, Neues et al. 2007).”
Functional gradients and heterogeneities in biological materials: Design principles, functions, and bioinspired applications (2017, background): “For example, the thickness of the twisted plywood layers increases from the exocuticle to endocuticle in the exoskeleton of arthropods such as the Homarus americanus lobster [96,97] and Loxorhynchus grandis crab [98], as shown in Fig.”
