Abstract The Eocene–Oligocene transition (EOT) was a climate shift from a largely ice-free
greenhouse world to an icehouse climate, involving the first major glaciation of Antarctica …

Planktonic foraminifera are widely used for biostratigraphy and correlation of Mediterranean
Neogene marine sediments, and are a fundamental component in the astronomical tuning of …

Abstract The Early Eocene Climate Optimum (EECO, which occurred about 51 to 53 million
years ago), was the warmest interval of the past 65 million years, with mean annual surface …

Calcareous nannofossils have provided a powerful biostratigraphic tool since the 1950's
and 1960's, when several milestone papers began to highlight their potential use in dating …

Studying the dynamics of past global warming events during the late Paleocene to middle
Eocene informs our understanding of Earth's carbon cycle behavior under elevated …

The latitudinal diversity gradient (LDG) is a prevalent feature of modern ecosystems across
diverse clades,,–. Recognized for well over a century, the causal mechanisms for LDGs …

Calcareous nannofossils are widely used in Cenozoic marine biostratigraphy. At present,
the two most widely used calcareous nannofossil biozonations were established …

Marked by a progressive increase in the amplitude of climate oscillations, an evolving
waveform, and a shift towards a quasi-100 ky frequency, the Early–Middle Pleistocene …

As humans have colonised and modified the Earth's surface, they have developed
progressively more sophisticated tools and technologies. These underpin a new kind of …

Most environmental bio-monitoring methods using the species composition of marine faunas
define the Ecological Quality Status of soft bottom ecosystems based on the relative …
