Symbiont 'bleaching' in planktic foraminifera during the Middle Eocene Climatic Optimum [PDF]
, 2013 Many genera of modern planktic foraminifera are adapted to nutrient-poor (oligotrophic) surface waters by hosting photosynthetic symbionts, but it is unknown how they will respond to future changes in ocean temperature and acidity.

Triassic and Jurassic possible planktonic foraminifera and the assemblages recovered from the Ogrodzieniec Glauconitic Marls Formation (uppermost Callovian and lowermost Oxfordian, Jurassic) of the Polish Basin [PDF]
Journal of Micropalaeontology, 2023 In the 1960s and 1970s Werner Fuchs of the Austrian Geological Survey (Vienna) described a significant number of new foraminiferal taxa that he considered ancestral to the planktonic foraminifera. All these taxa are well-curated in the collections of the

Sedimentation environment of the Cojimar Formation (Havana province) based on benthic foraminifera
Minería y Geología, 2022 Cojímar Formation, —Lower Miocene (upper part) to Middle Miocene (lower part)—, is a unit in Western Cuba well known for its extensive development and exposure outcrops. It has been widely used in bioestratigraphic studies.

Planktonic foraminifera assemblage composition and flux dynamics inferred from an annual sediment trap record in the central Mediterranean Sea [PDF]
BiogeosciencesThe Sicily Channel, located in the central Mediterranean Sea, represents a key point for the regional oceanographic circulation, as it is regarded as the sill that separates the western and eastern basins.

Early Aptian marine incursions in the interior of northeastern Brazil following the Gondwana breakup
Scientific Reports, 2023 This study reports a set of primeval marine incursions identified in two drill cores, 1PS-06-CE, and 1PS-10-CE, which recovered the Barbalha Formation, Araripe Basin, Brazil.

Biogeographic and morphological variation in Late Pleistocene to Holocene globorotalid foraminifera [PDF]
, 2007 Planktonic foraminifera are marine, calcite secreting protists. They have a long history of study in both industry and academia. Individual species show distinct biogeographical distributions and ecological tolerances.

Upper ocean mixing controls the seasonality of planktonic foraminifer fluxes and associated strength of the carbonate pump in the oligotrophic North Atlantic [PDF]
Biogeosciences, 2015 Oligotrophic regions represent up to 75% of Earth's open-ocean environments. They are thus areas of major importance in understanding the plankton community dynamics and biogeochemical fluxes.

Planktonic foraminiferal assemblages reflect warming during two recent mid-latitude marine heatwaves
Frontiers in Marine Science, 2023 Under future climate scenarios, ocean temperatures that are presently extreme and qualify as marine heatwaves (MHW) are forecasted to increase in frequency and intensity, but little is known about the impact of these events on one of the most common ...

Seasonal distribution of genetic types of planktonic foraminifer morphospecies in the Santa Barbara Channel and its paleoceanographic implications [PDF]
, 2003 We present data on the temporal distribution of planktonic foraminifer genotypes (small subunit (SSU) ribosomal (r) RNA gene) and morphospecies (sediment traps) collected during 1999 in the Santa Barbara Channel.
