On Alessandro Cavallo's birthday, we share our recent progress on the evolution of bivalve biomineralization from British Antarctic Survey 🐧 : royalsocietypublishing.org/doi/10.1098/rs… Take home 1 = in Antarctic clams, the early larval shell is made with a largely unique suite of genes compared to adult shell, 1/n🧵
