1 year, 9 months ago1 year, 9 months agoThe ability to form a calcium carbonate skeleton represents an evolutionary innovation of major importance that dates back to the onset of the Phanerozoic (ca. 540 Ma) (1). Since that time, multiple groups of marine metazoans became highly efficient reef builders, creating the structural foundation for the richest and most biodiverse ecosystems in…[Read more]
