Temperature controls carbon cycling and biological evolution in the ocean twilight zone
Theory suggests that the ocean's biological carbon pump, the process by which organic
matter is produced at the surface and transferred to the deep ocean, is sensitive to …

Plankton response to global warming is characterized by non-uniform shifts in assemblage composition since the last ice age
Biodiversity is expected to change in response to future global warming. However, it is
difficult to predict how species will track the ongoing climate change. Here we use the fossil …

Perspective on the response of marine calcifiers to global warming and ocean acidification—Behavior of corals and foraminifera in a high CO2 world “hot house”
The CO 2 concentration of air has increased over the last two centuries and recently

The effects of temperature, salinity, and the carbonate system on Mg/Ca in Globigerinoides ruber (white): A global sediment trap calibration
Abstract The Mg/Ca of planktic foraminifera Globigerinoides ruber (white) is a widely applied
proxy for tropical and sub-tropical sea-surface temperature. The accuracy with which …
