Morphology, microstructure, crystallography, and chemistry of distinct CaCO3 deposits formed by early recruits of the scleractinian coral Pocillopora damicornis
Anders Meibom, Duncan Thomas Lindsay Alexander, Jaroslaw Hubert Stolarski, Melany Melissa Gilis
Scleractinian corals begin their biomineralization process shortly after larval settlement with the formation of calcium carbonate (CaCO3) structures at the interface between the larval tissues and the substrate. The newly settled larvae exert variable deg ...

Wiley-Blackwell2015Biomineralization in Newly Settled Recruits of the Scleractinian Coral Pocillopora damicornis
Anders Meibom, Jaroslaw Hubert Stolarski, Isabelle Domart-Coulon, Melany Melissa Gilis
Calcium carbonate biomineralization of scleractinian coral recruits is fundamental to the construction of reefs and their survival under stress from global and local environmental change. Establishing a baseline for how normal, healthy coral recruits initi ...
Wiley-Blackwell2014Biomineralization in living hypercalcified demosponges: Toward a shared mechanism?
Massive skeletons of living hypercalcified sponges, representative organisms of basal Metazoa, are uncommon models to improve our knowledge on biomineralization mechanisms and their possible evolution through time. Eight living species belonging to various ...
