Abstract:<p>The geochemistry of deep-sea coral (DSC) skeletons has been widely used to reconstruct past changes in ocean conditions [1]. Previous work has focused predominantly on anthozoan coral groups (e.g., Scleractinia), while hydrozoan corals &#8211; such as stylasterids - have received far less attention. However, it has recently been demonstrated that stylasterid skeletal geochemistry reliably records seawater conditions (e.g., temperature [2, 3]). The application of stylasterid geochemistr… Show more
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
