Skeletal mineralogy of marine organisms shaped by seawater temperature and evolutionary history - a case study of cheilostome bryozoans

The record of CaCO3 biominerals serves as a valuable repository documenting Earth's evolutionary history and environmental changes. An in-depth understanding of the mineralogical diversity within calcifying organisms is essential for interpreting the evolutionary record of CaCO3 and evaluating the adaptability of biomineralizers to past and future environmental change. To offer insights into the relative importance of environment vs. phylogenetic history in determining mineralogy, this study explores the modern-day global distribution of mineralogies in cheilostome bryozoans.
Cheilostome bryozoans vary considerably in their mineral composition: in our dataset 65% of the species possess purely calcite skeletons, 15% exclusively employ aragonite, and 20% exhibit mixed (i.e., calcite and aragonite) mineralogies. Temperature is the predominant measured environmental factor influencing bryozoan skeletal mineralogy, accounting for 20% of its variability across species, when phylogenetic relat..., We employed X-ray diffraction (XRD) to analyze the skeletal mineral composition of 872 individual colonies, representing 437 bryozoan species, in terms of calcite/aragonite ratios. We integrated this data with equivalent published data, thus reaching 981 species, and applied linear models (LMs), generalized linear models (GLMs), and phylogenetic generalized least squares models (PGLSs), to investigate the influences of temperature, salinity, depth, and phylogenetic history on the mineralogy of nearly 1,000 cheilostome bryozoan species., , # Data from: Skeletal mineralogy of marine organisms shaped by seawater temperature and evolutionary history - a case study of cheilostome bryozoans

## Description of the data and file structure

The Bryozoan Mineralogy Database (BryoMinBase). The records for 5,328 bryozoan colonies, are classified as follows: 4,938 colonies of Cheilostomatida, 299 colonies of Cyclostomatida, 3 colonies of Ctenostomatida, and 88 unidentified colonies. Of these, 144 cases were excluded from the analyses and indicated in the \"Notes\" column. For Cheilostomatida, 4,595 colonies representing 981 species have associated environmental data, including temperature, salinity, and depth. Species names in the \"species_IDs_only_location_Ids\" column are derived from a combination of colonies identified at the species level (species_IDs_only) and those identified only to the genus level. It is assumed that colonies from different loca...

碳酸钙生物矿物记录是记录地球演化历史与环境变化的珍贵档案。深入理解钙化生物体内的矿物多样性，对于解读碳酸钙演化记录、评估生物矿化生物对过去与未来环境变化的适应能力至关重要。为探究环境与系统发育历史在调控矿物组成的相对重要性，本研究探讨了全球范围内唇口目苔藓虫（Cheilostome bryozoans）的现代矿物学分布格局。

唇口目苔藓虫的矿物组成差异显著：本数据集涵盖的物种中，65%仅以方解石作为骨骼矿物，15%仅使用文石，剩余20%则呈现混合矿物组成（即方解石与文石并存）。温度是影响苔藓虫骨骼矿物组成的首要环境因子，可解释物种间20%的矿物组成变异，当系统发育相关……
本研究采用X射线衍射（X-ray Diffraction，XRD）分析了代表437种苔藓虫的872个独立群体的骨骼矿物组成，以方解石/文石比值为评价指标。我们将该数据与已发表的等效数据整合，最终纳入981个物种，并运用线性模型（LMs）、广义线性模型（GLMs）、系统发育广义最小二乘模型（PGLSs），探究温度、盐度、水深以及系统发育历史对近1000种唇口目苔藓虫矿物组成的影响。
