In the past decade, research on long‐term persistence of phytoplankton resting stages has
intensified. Simultaneously, insight into life‐cycle variability in the diverse groups of …

Sedimentary organic matter derives from biological precursor material which undergoes
systematic, irreversible changes upon burial which mainly reflect increasing diagenetic …

Dinoflagellate cysts are useful for reconstructing upper water conditions. For adequate
reconstructions detailed information is required about the relationship between modern day …

The life cycle of many dinoflagellates includes at least one nonflagellated benthic stage
(cyst). In the literature, the different types of dinoflagellate cysts are mainly defined based on …

Dinoflagellates are a major aquatic protist group with amphiesma, multiple cortical
membranous “cell wall” layers that contain large circum-cortical alveolar sacs (AVs). AVs …

We present continuous bi-weekly to bi-monthly dinoflagellate cyst, tintinnid loricae and
tintinnid cyst fluxes at two mooring sites in Hudson Bay (subarctic Canada) from October …

Reconstructing the original biogeochemistry of organic microfossils requires quantifying the
extent of the chemical transformations they experienced during burial and maturation …

Tetramethylammonium hydroxide (TMAH) is one of the most popular methylation reagents
that have been increasingly used for the detection of organic compounds within a wide …

In order to document the distribution of organic-walled dinoflagellate cysts (dinocysts) and
their relationship with sea-surface parameters (temperature, salinity, primary productivity) …

Abstract The Cretaceous Second White Specks Formation is an organic-rich marine
mudstone rich in calcareous coccoliths and fecal pellets that form an immature oil shale …
