Planktonic foraminifer tests are major archives of environmental change and provide a
multitude of proxies in paleoceanography and paleoclimatology. The application of such …

The 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 …

Abstract The Mg/Ca ratio of planktic foraminifera is a widely used proxy for sea‐surface
temperature but is also sensitive to other environmental factors. Previous work has relied on …

The planktonic foraminifera genus Globigerinoides provides a prime example of a species-
rich genus in which genetic and morphological divergence are uncorrelated. To shed light …

Accurate reconstructions of seawater salinity could provide valuable constraints for studying
past ocean circulation, the hydrological cycle and sea level change. Controlled growth …

We investigated the possibility of bacterial symbiosis in Globigerina bulloides, a
palaeoceanographically important, planktonic foraminifer. This marine protist is commonly …

The isotopic and elemental composition of the fossil shells of foraminifera are often used for
reconstructing past environments and climates. These so-called proxy relations are based …

Uncovering the complexities of trophic and metabolic interactions among microorganisms is
essential for the understanding of marine biogeochemical cycling and modelling climate …

The tropical waters of the Arabian Sea are among the richest biological areas of the world.
The highly complex monsoonal system is particularly challenging for palaeoenvironmental …

Anthropogenic carbon dioxide emissions do not only warm our planet but also acidify our
oceans. It is currently unclear to which degree Earth's climate and marine life will be …
