• Shell decay rates of native and alien freshwater bivalves and implications for habitat engineering (2007, background): “Shell decay has been studied by marine geochemists and ecologists (e.g. Glover & Kidwell, 1993; Harper, 2000; Powell, Kraeuter & AshtonAlcox, 2006), but rarely considered by freshwater ecologists.”
• Reconstructing the Anomalodesmata (Mollusca: Bivalvia): morphology and molecules (2006, background): “It is likely that the low organic content of homogeneous shell structure (Taylor & Layman, 1972; Harper, 2000), makes it energetically less expensive to manufacture than other microstructures, in particular nacre (Palmer, 1992).”
• Rapid dissolution of shells of weakly calcified Antarctic benthic macroorganisms indicates high vulnerability to ocean acidification (2009, background): “…weak, shells (Nicol 1967, Vermeij 1978), a result of either calcium ions being difficult to extract from seawater at low temperature (Graus 1974, Harper 2000, but see Aronson et al. 2007) or a protracted evolutionary history that has selected against robust shell calcification due to an absence…”
• Inferring temporal patterns of preservation, origination, and extinction from taxonomic survivorship analysis (2001, background): “…as shifts in the proportion of calcitic versus aragonitic genera (Wilkinson 1979; Kidwell and Brenchley 1996; Harper et al. 1997; Carter et al. 1998; Stanley and Hardie 1998; Harper 2000), are expected to be less important in distorting taxonomic rates than is short-term variation (Foote 2000a).”
• Early Larval Development of the Sydney Rock Oyster Saccostrea glomerata Under Near-Future Predictions of CO2-Driven Ocean Acidification (2009, background): “Shells of both living and dead calcareous animals experience dissolution in the marine environment (see Harper 2000), so it was expected that some empty, or dead , larval shells would dissolve at each pH.”
