The Tacipi Formation of Sulawesi was deposited during the late middle Miocene to early Pliocene in a large area of shallow water, marine carbonate production with deeper water sediments deposited to ...
Planktonic foraminifera are tiny marine organisms, which are essential to the ocean's carbon cycle. A recent study reveals that these populations are shrinking at an alarming rate due to ocean warming ...
Scanning electron microscope (SEM) image showing a fossilised planktonic foraminifera, Globorotalia scitula. We are leading a growing programme of research on planktonic foraminifera, using their ...
Microscopic fossils of aquatic creatures, dating back hundreds of millions of years, could help clear up mysteries about how we evolved. Evolutionary ecologist, Dr Thomas Ezard, is undertaking an ...
A new study provides unprecedented insights into the cellular architecture of over 200 species of plankton using ultrastructure expansion microscopy. Dudin had been working with this particular group ...
Studying changes in marine biogeographic patterns, and the factors impacting these patterns over geological time, can help scientists understand current responses­ in organisms due to human-driven ...
Planktonic foraminifera assemblage from Caribbean sediments that provide an accurate picture of the species community before human influence. Each shell is less than one millimeter in size. Michal ...
A study of Baikal seals, which are endemic to Lake Baikal in Russia, finds that they consume significant amounts of an amphipod, a freshwater planktonic species, and, although species as small as the ...
