A trait-based modelling approach to planktonic foraminifera ecology [PDF]
Biogeosciences, 2019 Despite the important role of planktonic foraminifera in regulating the ocean carbonate production and their unrivalled value in reconstructing paleoenvironments, our knowledge on their ecology is limited.

Frontiers in Marine Science, 2022 The mass of well-preserved calcite in planktonic foraminifera shells provides an indication of the calcification potential of the surface ocean. Here we report the shell weight of 8 different abundant planktonic foraminifera species from a set of core ...

The impact of Cenozoic cooling on assemblage diversity in planktonic foraminifera [PDF]
Philosophical Transactions of the Royal Society B: Biological Sciences, 2016 The Cenozoic planktonic foraminifera (PF) (calcareous zooplankton) have arguably the most detailed fossil record of any group. The quality of this record allows models of environmental controls on macroecology, developed for Recent assemblages, to be ...

Population dynamics and reproduction strategies of planktonic foraminifera in the open ocean [PDF]
Biogeosciences, 2021 It has long been assumed that the population dynamics of planktonic foraminifera is characterised by synchronous reproduction associated with ontogenetic vertical migration.

Planktonic foraminifera-derived environmental DNA extracted from abyssal sediments preserves patterns of plankton macroecology [PDF]
Biogeosciences, 2017 Deep-sea sediments constitute a unique archive of ocean change, fueled by a permanent rain of mineral and organic remains from the surface ocean. Until now, paleo-ecological analyses of this archive have been mostly based on information from taxa ...

Distribution of planktonic foraminifera in the subtropical South Atlantic: depth hierarchy of controlling factors [PDF]
Biogeosciences, 2020 Temperature appears to be the best predictor of species composition of planktonic foraminifera communities, making it possible to use their fossil assemblages to reconstruct sea surface temperature (SST) variation in the past.

Thermal niches of planktonic foraminifera are static throughout glacial-interglacial climate change. [PDF]
Proc Natl Acad Sci U S A, 2021 Significance We examined the degree to which temperature tolerances changed on 8,000-y timescales across 700,000 y of glacial–interglacial climate change.

Palaeobiogeography of early planktonic foraminifera
Bulletin de la Société Géologique de France, 2009 AbstractOver the last 50 years, our knowledge of early planktonic foraminifera has changed markedly. In 1958 Grigelis described “Globigerina oxfordiana” from the Upper Jurassic of Lithuania and this has, subsequently, become identified as one of the most geographically widespread of Jurassic planktonic taxa.

Migrating is not enough for modern planktonic foraminifera in a changing ocean. [PDF]
NatureRising carbon dioxide emissions are provoking ocean warming and acidification1,2, altering plankton habitats and threatening calcifying organisms3, such as the planktonic foraminifera (PF).

Upper Eocene planktonic foraminifera from northern Saudi Arabia: implications for stratigraphic ranges [PDF]
Journal of Micropalaeontology, 2021 The Rashrashiyah Formation of the Sirhan Basin in northern Saudi Arabia contains diverse assemblages of planktonic foraminifera. We examined the biostratigraphy, stratigraphic range and preservation of upper Eocene planktonic foraminifera.
