Summer and winter MgCO3 levels in the skeletons of Arctic bryozoans

Temperature as a likely driver shaping global patterns in mineralogical composition in bryozoans: Implications for marine calcifiers under Global Change

“…salinity, pH and the seawater Mg/Ca ratio) or biotic factors have on the skeleton of bryozoans. For instance, the expected positive trends of increasing aragonite or Mg-calcite with seawater temperature were not found in some polar and temperate bryozoan species although the authors argued that the existing variability in seawater temperature might be too low in these instances to significantly affect skeletal Mg-calcite (Figuerola et al, 2015; Iglikowska et al, 2020; Loxton, Kuklinski, Barnes, et al, 2014; Loxton, Kuklinski, Najorka, et al, 2014). In addition, local intraspecific and/or interspecific variation was previously found in a range of bryozoan species, which were not related with temperature changes (Figuerola et al, 2015, 2019; Loxton, Kuklinski, Barnes, et al, 2014; Loxton, Kuklinski, Najorka, et al, 2014) suggesting other biological and/or local environmental factors remain important.…”

“…In recent years significant efforts have been put into increasing data on skeletal mineralogy in a wide range of bryozoan species from Arctic (Iglikowska et al, 2020;Krzemińska et al, 2022;Piwoni-Piórewicz et al, 2019), temperate (e.g., Loxton et al, 2014b;Smith and Clark, 2010;Steger and Smith, 2005), tropical (Taylor et al, 2016;Taylor & Di Martino, 2014), and Antarctic (Figuerola et al, 2015(Figuerola et al, , 2019Krzeminska et al, 2016;Loxton et al, 2013;Loxton, Kuklinski, Barnes, et al, 2014) regions. However, several reviews have pointed out that mineralogy is known only for a small proportion of living species at all latitudes (Smith et al, 2006;Taylor et al, 2009).…”
