In this study, we analyzed 45 surface sediment samples collected in the marginal seas of the Western North Pacific, including the South China Sea, the East China Sea, and the Philippine Sea, to investigate the radiolarian assemblages and their relationship

Geographic and vertical distribution patterns of living Radiolaria are closely related to the characters of the water column. We studied living Radiolaria in samples collected at closely spaced depth intervals in the waters surrounding Japan in order

Among the many inhabitants of planktonic communities, several lineages have biomineralized intricate skeletons. These have existed for millions of years and include the Radiolaria, a group of marine protists, many of which bear delicate mineral skeletons

Two major patterns of shell morphogenesis occurring in varying proportions among species were identified by examining skeletons from five species of living collosphaerid, colonial Radiolaria: Collosphaera huxleyi, Acrosphaera cyrtodon, Acrosphaera spinosa,
