Silicate weathering and carbon cycle controls on the Oligocene-Miocene transition glaciation [PDF]
Changes in both silicate weathering rates and organic carbon burial have been proposed as drivers of the transient “Mi-1” glaciation event at the Oligocene-Miocene transition (OMT; ~23 Ma).

Biostratigraphic Study of the Gurpi Formation Based on Planktonic Foraminifera In Lar Area (Kuh-e-kurdeh Section) [PDF]
The study of planktonic foraminifera of the Gurpi formations at Lar area (Kuh-e-kurdeh section) enables me to find the most standard biozones defined in mediterranean regions, especially Tethysian domain. Five biozones were determined.

Calcium isotopic composition of high-latitude proxy carrier Neogloboquadrina pachyderma (sin.) [PDF]
The accurate reconstruction of sea surface temperature (SST) history in climate-sensitive regions (e.g. tropical and polar oceans) became a challenging task in palaeoceanographic research.

Observation of asexual reproduction with symbiont transmission in planktonic foraminifera
Gamete release has been frequently observed in laboratory cultures of various species of planktonic foraminifera. Those observations have been taken as evidence that these organisms produce new generations exclusively by sexual reproduction.

Study of planktonic morphotype of the Abderaz Formation at type section, Iran [PDF]
Abderaz Formation at its type section with an age of Turonian-Early Campanian and a thickness of 300 m contains light grey shale and marl. The study of the planktonic foraminifera in isolated form led to differentiate three morphotype groups.

Paleoceanographic studies often rely on abundance changes in microfossil species, with little consideration for characteristics such as organism size, which may also be related to environmental changes.

Paleoecology of the Maastrichtian and Danian sediment at North of Central Alborz, Iran, based on Planktonic foraminifera [PDF]
In order to study the fossil contents of the Ziarat-kola section for biostratigraphical purposes the 212 meters was sampled at Central Alborz. The sequence is mainly made up of monotonous grey- green to light grey marl.

Seasonal distribution of genetic types of planktonic foraminifer morphospecies in the Santa Barbara Channel and its paleoceanographic implications [PDF]
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.
