Northeastern Atlantic benthic foraminifera during the last 45,000 years: Changes in productivity seen from the bottom up [PDF]
, 1995 We studied benthic foraminifera from the last 45 kyr in the >63 mu m size fraction in Biogeochemical Ocean Flux Studies (BOFS) cores 5K (50 degrees 41.3'N, 21 degrees 51.9'W, depth 3547 m) and 14K (58 degrees 37.2'N, 19 degrees 26.2'W, depth 1756 m), at ...

Environmental Predictors of Diversity in Recent Planktonic Foraminifera as Recorded in Marine Sediments. [PDF]
PLoS One, 2016 Global diversity patterns are thought to result from a combination of environmental and historical factors. This study tests the set of ecological and evolutionary hypotheses proposed to explain the global variation in present-day coretop diversity in ...

New insight into the Pleistocene deposits of Monte delle Piche, Rome, and remarks on the biochronology of Hippopotamus (Mammalia, Hippopotamidae) and Stephanorhinus etruscus (Mammalia, Rhinocerotidae) in Italy [PDF]
, 2015 Several large mammal assemblages have been collected in the Roman basin since the XIX century, but they usually lack any stratigraphic datum or details about the fossiliferous localities. In this work, the stratigraphic provenance of large mammal remains

Biological Reviews of The Cambridge Philosophical SocietyThe nature and extent of diversity in the plankton has fascinated scientists for over a century. Initially, the discovery of many new species in the remarkably uniform and unstructured pelagic environment appeared to challenge the concept of ecological ...

The contributions of various calcifying plankton to the South Atlantic calcium carbonate stock [PDF]
BiogeosciencesPelagic calcifying plankton play an important role in the marine carbon cycle. However, field studies quantifying the contributions of multiple calcifying plankton groups to particulate inorganic carbon (PIC) stocks and export into the ocean interior are

Foraminifera from the Tepetate Formation (Heim) at Las Pocitas, Baja California Sur, Mexico
Ciencias Marinas, 2008 In order to constrain the age and depositional paleoenvironment of the Tepetate Formation, benthic and planktonic foraminifera were analyzed in samples recovered from an exploration well located at Las Pocitas, Baja California Sur, Mexico.
