Ba incorporation in benthic foraminifera [PDF]

open access: yesBiogeosciences, 2017
Abstract. Barium (Ba) incorporated in the calcite of many foraminiferal species is proportional to the concentration of Ba in seawater. Since the open ocean concentration of Ba closely follows seawater alkalinity, foraminiferal Ba ∕ Ca can be used to reconstruct the latter.

Quantifying Soil Microbiome Abundance by Metatranscriptomics and Complementary Molecular Techniques—Cross‐Validation and Perspectives

open access: yesMolecular Ecology Resources, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Linking meta‐omics and biogeochemistry approaches in soils has remained challenging. This study evaluates the use of an internal RNA extraction standard and its potential for making quantitative estimates of a given microbial community size (biomass) in soil metatranscriptomics. We evaluate commonly used laboratory protocols for RNA processing,

The biostratigraphy of the Albian and Cenomanian succession in the Ventnor No. 2 borehole, Isle of Wight [PDF]

open access: yes, 2004
This report describes the foraminifera found in the uppermost part of the Gault, Upper Greensand, Glauconitic Marl and West Melbury Marly Chalk of Ventnor No.2 Borehole (the "Carstone of the Isle of Wight" was barren of calcareous microfaunas).

The Monterey event in the Mediterranean: A record from shelf sediments of Malta [PDF]

open access: yes, 1996
Oligo-Miocene carbonate platform and shelf sediments outcropping on the Maltese Islands provide an excellent archive of the paleoceanography of the central Mediterranean.

Distinguishing passive and driven trait evolution in the presence of boundaries

open access: yesMethods in Ecology and Evolution, EarlyView.
Abstract Quantifying the dynamics of macroevolutionary trends, such as changes in body size and complexity, is vital for understanding the processes that have shaped patterns of extant and extinct biodiversity. For example, whilst maximum body size may tend to increase within lineages (the Cope‐Depéret rule), it is still unclear whether such patterns ...

Tubular agglutinated foraminifera as indicators of organic carbon flux [PDF]

open access: yes, 1995
The dimensions of tubular agglutinated foraminifera such as Rhizammina and Rhabdammina respond in a predictable manner to changes in the flux of organic carbon to the sea floor. In both the modern western North Atlantic and in an ancient example (the K/

Tracing the origin of Roman mosaic tiles in Aquileia: Petrographic analysis of specimens from the suburbium

open access: yesArchaeometry, EarlyView.
Abstract This research represents the most extensive characterisation of Roman mosaic tesserae (tiles) from Aquileia, Italy, to date, examining 153 specimens. The study aimed to identify the lithotypes used in mosaics production through a multi‐analytical approach, which included colorimetric analysis, polarised light microscopy and scanning electron ...

Reading the Fine Print: Ultra-Microstructures of Foraminiferal Calcification Revealed Using Focused Ion Beam Microscopy

open access: yesFrontiers in Marine Science, 2018
The elemental composition of calcite is of critical value in paleoceanographic reconstructions, yet little is known about biological processes underlying elemental uptake by foraminifers during calcification.

The Year 2000 classification of the agglutinated foraminifera [PDF]

open access: yes, 2004
A reclassification of the agglutinated foraminifera (subclass Textulariia) is presented, consisting of four orders, 17 suborders, 27 superfamilies, 107 families, 125 subfamilies, and containing a total of 747 valid genera.
