Ocean overturning since the Late Cretaceous: Inferences from a new benthic foraminiferal isotope compilation
Benthic foraminiferal oxygen isotopic (δ18O) and carbon isotopic (δ13C) trends, constructed
from compilations of data series from multiple ocean sites, provide one of the primary means …

The latitudinal biodiversity gradient through deep time
Today, biodiversity decreases from equatorial to polar regions. This is a fundamental pattern
governing the distribution of extant organisms, the understanding of which is critical to …
