Planktonic Foraminifera are ubiquitous marine protozoa inhabiting the upper ocean. During life, they secrete calcareous shells, which accumulate in marine sediments, providing a geological record of past spatial and temporal changes in their community ...

Calcification intensity in planktonic Foraminifera reflects ambient conditions irrespective of environmental stress [PDF]
Planktonic Foraminifera are important marine calcifiers, and the ongoing change in the oceanic carbon system makes it essential to understand the influence of environmental factors on the biomineralization of their shells.

Biostratigraphic and Geological Significance of Planktonic Foraminifera, Updated Second Edition [PDF]
The role of fossil planktonic foraminifera as markers for biostratigraphical zonation and correlation underpins most drilling of marine sedimentary sequences and is key to hydrocarbon exploration.

Review and revision of Cenozoic tropical planktonic foraminiferal biostratigraphy and calibration to the Geomagnetic Polarity and Astronomical Time Scale [PDF]
Planktonic foraminifera are widely utilized for the biostratigraphy of Cretaceous and Cenozoic marine sediments and are a fundamental component of Cenozoic chronostratigraphy.

Oxygen isotope ecology of recent planktic foraminifera at the central Walvis Ridge (SE Atlantic) [PDF]
Above the Walvis Ridge, in the SE Atlantic Ocean, we collected living plantkic foraminifera from the upper water column using depth stratified plantkon tows. The oxygen isotope composition (

First report of modern planktonic foraminifera in the southeastern Arabian Gulf, with observations on the morphology and ecology of Neogallitellia vivans (Cushman) [PDF]
This study reports the first documented occurrence of planktonic foraminiferal assemblages from core and grab samples collected from the United Arab Emirates (UAE) sector of the Arabian Gulf, specifically from offshore Abu Dhabi.

Planktonic foraminifera-derived environmental DNA extracted from abyssal sediments preserves patterns of plankton macroecology [PDF]
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 ...

Morphologic, biogeographic and ontogenetic investigation of Mid-Pliocene menardellids (planktonic foraminifera) [PDF]
The definition of planktonic foraminifera species remains a major challenge, despite their central place in biostratigraphy and paleoceanography. During the last decade, combined outcomes of molecular and morphometric studies have brought to the light ...
