Applications of fossil shells of planktonic foraminifera to decipher past environmental
change and plankton evolution require a robust operational taxonomy. In this respect, extant …

The accumulation of large datasets and increasing data availability have led to the
emergence of data-driven paleontological studies, which reveal an unprecedented picture of …

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 …

Planktonic foraminiferal species identification is central to many paleoceanographic studies,
from selecting species for geochemical research to elucidating the biotic dynamics of …

Manual identification of foraminiferal morphospecies or morphotypes under stereo
microscopes is time consuming for micropalaeontologists and not possible for …

The rapid and accurate taxonomic identification of fossils is of great significance in
paleontology, biostratigraphy, and other fields. However, taxonomic identification is often …

Planktic foraminifera are commonly used for first-order age control in deep-sea sediments
from low-latitude regions based on a robust tropical–subtropical zonation scheme. Although …

Identification of fossil species is crucial to evolutionary studies. Recent advances from deep
learning have shown promising prospects in fossil image identification. However, the …

Planktonic foraminifera, single-celled protists, are extensively used in biostratigraphy and
biochronology thanks to their abundance in marine sediments, widespread distribution and …

We conducted a morphometric study and wall texture analysis on extant and fossil
specimens of the planktonic foraminifera Globigerina falconensis plexus. Our global data …
