AbstractMeasurements of life-history traits can reflect an organism’s response to environment. In wave-dominated rocky intertidal ecosystems, obtaining in-situ measurements of key grazing invertebrates are constrained by extreme conditions. Recent research demonstrates mollusc shells to be high-resolution sea-surface temperature proxies, as well as archival growth records. However, no prior molluscan climate proxy or life-history reconstruction has been demonstrated for the tropical rocky intertidal environment—a zone influenced by warmer waters, mixed tides, trade-wind patterns, and wave-action. Here, we show near-daily, spatiotemporal oxygen isotope signatures from the tropical rocky intertidal environment by coupling secondary ion mass spectrometry analysis of oxygen isotopes with the sclerochronology of an endemic Hawaiian intertidal limpet Cellana sandwicensis, that is a significant biocultural resource harvested for consumption. We also develop a method for reliable interpretation of seasonal growth patterns and longevity in limpets. This study provides a robust approach to explore tropical intertidal climatology and molluscan life-history.

Determining the timescales of magma accumulation and storage prior to large eruptions is fundamental to understand the pre-eruptive history of magma reservoirs. Zircon 238U–230Th dating has been widely used to...
