Molluscan Publications - Climate Change

Individual species demonstrate variation in growth and longevity over their zoogeographic range. In shelled molluscs this variation is directly recorded in the shell. Time series studies of shelled molluscs enable reconstruction of growth descriptors over time and space, with both scales informing the role of climate change and, in the case of exploited species, management actions in shaping extant populations.
