Body size is a central feature of any organism, reflecting its physiology, ecology and
evolutionary history. Marine microplankton are major contributors to the particulate inorganic …

To help understand potential biases in coccolithophore paleo-biodiversity estimates various
aspects of their biology are reviewed based on the recent monographic guide to extant …

In this study the coccolithophore compositions of 11 plankton depth stations along a N–S
transect from the South Atlantic Subtropical Gyre to the Subantarctic Zone were examined …

Coccolithophores are unicellular calcifying eukaryotes with a complex life‐cycle; they are
important primary producers, and major drivers of global biogeochemical cycles. The …

Abstract Within a 5.5-m-thick succession of upper Burdigalian (CNP-zone NN4) shallow
neritic sediments from the North Alpine Foreland Basin in Lower Austria a high-resolution …

Abstract The Messinian Salinity Crisis (MSC) was an extreme event that affected the
Mediterranean Sea during the late Miocene, leading to massive evaporite deposition across …

This study aims to contribute to a more detailed knowledge of the biogeography of
coccolithophores in the Equatorial and Southeastern Pacific Ocean. Census data of fossil …

The distribution of calcareous nannofossils are quantitatively analysed in high-resolution
deep-sea core samples from North Atlantic DSDP Site 607 and Eastern Mediterranean ODP …

The coccolithophore species Watznaueria britannica is dominant in Middle-Upper Jurassic
calcareous nannofossil assemblages and presents morphological variation, including …

The ecological preferences of morphological groups within major coccolithophore taxa were
studied in surface water samples from the equatorial and subequatorial Pacific Ocean …
