Abundance, isotopic composition and morphological imprints of the planktonic foraminifera Globorotalia scitula (Brady) were closely examined for possible use as a novel reconstruction tool of chemical environments in sub-intermediate depth seawater in

Planktonic Foraminifera have a uniquely complete fossil record that enables high resolution analyses of how they reacted to past environmental change. 125,000 BP the Mediterranean Sea experienced a sharp change in ocean circulation, providing an excellent

Biometric analysis of five populations of the planktonic foraminifer Globorotalia scitula (Brady) in Pleistocene piston cores from the Eastern Mediterranean show morphologic variations that correlate with fluctuations in salinity of the seawater. Increasing

Extinction is a remarkably difficult phenomenon to study under natural conditions. This is because the outcome of stress exposure and associated fitness reduction is not known until the extinction occurs and it remains unclear whether there is any phenotypic
