Environmental regulation and disruption of shell biomineralization in bivalves and gastropods: a mechanistic review

Molluscan shells face escalating threats from climate change, altered seawater chemistry, contaminants, and biotic factors, disrupting the intricate process of biomineralization. This review synthesizes a conditional hierarchical response framework, detailing how ionoregulatory and acid-base disturbances manifest at molecular, microstructural, and macroscopic levels, impacting shell strength and growth. Integrated multi-omics research is crucial to identify thresholds and predict adaptive potential, informing conservation strategies.
