Ocean acidification impacts multiple early life history processes of the Caribbean coral Porites astreoides (2011, background): “, 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.”
Overview of the amorphous precursor phase strategy in biomineralization (2009, background): “The first demonstration in mollusks that ACC is a precursor of aragonite was carried out in the larval shell of the gastropod Biomphalaria [ 30 ].”
Reviewing the Effects of Ocean Acidification on Sexual Reproduction and Early Life History Stages of Reef-Building Corals (2011, background): “Larval spines of urchins form via an ACC precursor that later stabilizes into calcite [109, 110]; the oyster, Crassostrea virginica secretes aragonite in the larval stages and calcite in the adult stage [111]; similarly, shell formation in molluscan larvae involves an initial, transient ACC phase [1”
