We studied the distribution of polycystine radiolarians in the northern South China Sea (SCS) in September 2005 in order to document the relation between radiolarian assemblages and environmental parameters. Vertical plankton tows were collected at depth-intervals

The mean growth, longevity and vitality (based on axopodial morphology and cytoplasmic flow) ofDidymocyrtis tetrathalamus tetrathalamus were assessed in laboratory culture in relation to variations in temperature, salinity and light. Maximum longevity

Radiolarian assemblages were analyzed using samples from the IODP Site U1340 to reconstruct the paleoceanographic conditions in the Bering Sea. Based on the characteristic faunal changes, the radiolarian evolution at Site U1340 was divided into four major

Micropaleontological data have been analyzed through mathematical and statistical procedures in order to establish the distribution pattern of radiolarian assemblages in the surface sediments and to establish the relationship of these assemblages with

This paper presents first comprehensive account of radiolarian taxa from the Pleistocene sequence of the Antarctic region. On the basis of 54 samples from the piston core KH94-4-AMR-2PC, 71 well-preserved radiolarian species were identified and illustrated.
