New mid-Cretaceous stable isotope (δ¹⁵O and δ¹³C) records of multiple planktonic foraminiferal species and coexisting coccoliths from Blake Nose (western North Atlantic) document a major depth-ecology ...

The species survivorship curve for Cenozoic planktonic foraminifera was fitted to exponential (age-independent) and Weibull (age-dependent) models. Model fits that account for censorship bias have ...

Planktonic foraminifera are unicellular marine protists that produce intricate calcareous tests, making them pivotal indicators in paleoceanography and modern climate studies. Their ecology and ...

This palaeoclimatological study of the Arctic examines two sediment cores from the Arctic Ocean for planktonic foraminifera from the interglacial Marine Isotope Stage 5 (MIS 5). MIS 5 is of particular ...

According to a recent study published in Nature, many planktonic foraminifera species may face unprecedented environmental conditions by the end of this century, potentially surpassing their survival ...

Planktonic foraminifera are microorganisms that live in the uppermost water layers of all oceans. When they die their small calcareous shells sink to the seafloor and remain preserved in the sediments ...

Biometric analysis of ontogenetic changes in test morphology is employed to determine the taxonomic status of several trochospiral planktonic foraminiferal species from southern high latitude Upper ...

Planktonic Foraminifera collected from the vicinity of the North Atlantic Current and the Gulf Stream during late winter-early spring and fall of 1964 are described and their distributions are ...

Evidence from the Challenger Deep -- the deepest surveyed point in the world's oceans -- suggests that tiny single-celled creatures called foraminifera living at extreme depths of more than ten ...

Plankton don't get nearly the respect they deserve. These tiny organisms (phytoplankton being plant-like cells that produce much of the world’s oxygen, zooplankton being little animals) float around ...
