The growth of phytoplankton at high latitudes was generally thought to begin in open waters
of the marginal ice zone once the highly reflective sea ice retreats in spring, solar elevation …

Foraminiferal research lies at the border between geology and biology. Benthic foraminifera
are a major component of marine communities, highly sensitive to environmental influences …

Pioneering deep-sea surveys established that the fauna of the continental margins is zoned
in the sense that individual species and assemblages occupy restricted depth bands. It has …

Two cores from the southwestern shelf and slope of Storfjorden, Svalbard, taken at 389 m
and 1485 m water depth have been analyzed for benthic and planktic foraminifera, oxygen …

Calcareous foraminifers and hydrographic parameters in 113 bottom samples from the
southern Kara Sea were examined to improve the usage of foraminifers as …

Distinct cyclicity in lithology and microfaunal distribution in sediment cores from the
Mendeleev Ridge in the western Arctic Ocean (water depths ca. 1.5 km) reflects contrasting …

A pattern of increasing species richness from the poles to the equator is frequently observed
in many animal taxa. Ecological limits, determined by the abiotic conditions and biotic …

We examine the quantitative composition of benthic foraminiferal assemblages of Rose
Bengal-stained surface samples from 37 stations in the Laptev Sea, and combine this data …

Sediment core HLY0503-8JPC raised by the HOTRAX'05 expedition from the Mendeleev
Ridge was analyzed for multiple lithological, paleontological, and stable-isotopic proxies to …

Foraminiferal stable isotopes and assemblages from Franz Victoria and St. Anna troughs
provide a valuable record of freshwater and Atlantic Water flows to the northern Barents and …
