Shell Ontogeny

Shell Ontogeny is a biological framework that characterizes the developmental changes in molluscan shell morphology and structure throughout an organism's lifespan, distinguishing itself from related ontogenetic models by its specific focus on shell formation dynamics as a function of growth, environmental interaction, and evolutionary adaptation.
