New mid-Cretaceous stable isotope (δ¹⁵O and δ¹³C) records of multiple planktonic foraminiferal species and coexisting coccoliths from Blake Nose (western North Atlantic) document a major depth-ecology ...

Planktonic foraminifera are unicellular marine protists that produce intricate calcareous tests, making them pivotal indicators in paleoceanography and modern climate studies. Their ecology and ...

This palaeoclimatological study of the Arctic examines two sediment cores from the Arctic Ocean for planktonic foraminifera from the interglacial Marine Isotope Stage 5 (MIS 5). MIS 5 is of particular ...

A study finds that planktonic foraminifera maintained a static thermal niche over around 700,000 years of glacial-interglacial climate change. As environmental conditions change, species with flexible ...

Studying changes in marine biogeographic patterns, and the factors impacting these patterns over geological time, can help scientists understand current responses­ in organisms due to human-driven ...

Planktonic foraminifera are tiny marine organisms, which are essential to the ocean's carbon cycle. A recent study reveals that these populations are shrinking at an alarming rate due to ocean warming ...

New findings have revealed that changes in ocean density have a significant impact on the rate at which marine plankton incorporate carbon into their shells. This has profound implications for carbon ...

Foraminifera are single-celled marine protozoa that construct and inhabit a calcium carbonate shell composed of several chambers. These chambers are usually penetrated by pores through which the ...

Plankton are a diverse group of marine organisms, which are carried by tides and currents. Most are microscopic, but there are some larger plankton, such as some types of jellyfish. Phytoplankton are ...
