Mollusk shell alterations resulting from coastal contamination and other environmental factors
(Elsevier, 2020-10)
Effects of contamination on aquatic organisms have been investigated and employed as biomarkers in environmental quality assessment for years. A commonly referenced aquatic organism, mollusks represent a group of major ...
Shell alterations in limpets as putative biomarkers for multi-impacted coastal areas
(2017-01-01)
During the last years, shell alterations in gastropods have been proposed as tools to be used in monitoring programs. However, no studies were so far performed investigating the relationships among shell parameters and ...
Taphonomic differences in molluscan shell preservation in freshwater environments from the southeastern Pampas, Argentina
(Society for Sedimentary Geology, 2014-12)
Actualistic studies in freshwater environments are scarce, limiting the interpretation of paleoenvironmental information obtained from the fossil record. The objectives of this study are to assess the taphonomic factors ...
Shell alterations in the limpet Bostrycapulus odites: A bioindicator of harbour pollution and mine residuals
(Elsevier Science, 2013-06)
Molluscs are commonly used as bioindicators because of their abundance, low motility and the information their shells record. Although in harbour areas gastropod shell deposition would be affected at an endocrinal level, ...

Shell structure and composition alterations in the limpet Lottia subrugosa along a contamination gradient in the Santos Estuary, Brazil
(2020-08-01)
Molluscs have been widely used in biomonitoring of aquatic environments because they are highly sensitive to hazardous chemical substances and have the capacity to express the history of environmental changes in their ...
Historical shell form variation in Lottia subrugosa from southeast Brazilian coast: Possible responses to anthropogenic pressures
(Pergamon-Elsevier Science Ltd, 2020-04)
Mollusk shells can provide important information regarding environmental parameters. It is known that shell morphology is affected by both natural and anthropogenic factors. However, few studies have investigated alterations ...
The molding hypothesis: linking shell use with hermit crab growth, morphology, and shell-species selection
(Inter-researchOldendorf LuheAlemanha, 2003)
Shell damage in the Tehuelche scallop Aequipecten tehuelchus caused by Polydora rickettsi (Polychaeta: Spionidae) infestation
(Academic Press Inc Elsevier Science, 2013-08)
The different types of shell damage caused to the commercially valuable Tehuelche scallop (Aequipecten tehuelchus) by the polychaete Polydora rickettsi are described. X-rays, computerized tomography, shell sections, scanning ...
Taphonomy of Bouchardia rosea (Rhynchonelliformea, Brachiopoda) shells from Ubatuba Bay, Brazil: implications for the use of taphonomic signatures in (paleo)environmental analysis
(Asociacion Paleontologica Argentina, 2010-09-30)
This study analyzes taphonomic alteration of brachiopod shells, i.e., Bouchardia rosea (Mawe) from Ubatuba Bay, northern coast of São Paulo State, Brazil. The average age of the studied shell deposits is 674 years BP. The ...
