Simple Summary Phylum Retaria and Phylum Cercozoa consists of the siliceous planktonic organisms, commonly referred to as Radiolarians, were investigated from 200 m depth to the surface in the eastern Indian Ocean (80.00°–96.10° E, 10.08° N–6.00° S) during

A quantitative radiolarian study at Core 17957-2 from the South China Sea (SCS) allows reconstructing two paleoceanographic events occurring during the last 1500 ka. Based on the abundance variations of siliceous microfossils (radiolarian, diatom and

The vertical distribution of radiolarians was investigated by using a closing-type net with 63 μm mesh in the Okhotsk Sea (Station NU'2, near Bussol' Strait) down to 1000 m depth and in the northwestern North Pacific (Oyashio region, Station X) down to

Siliceous planktonic species of the phyla Retaria and Cercozoa were investigated from the surface to a 200 m depth around the eastern Indian Ocean (80.00°–96.10° E, 10.08° N–6.00° S) during a 2-month cruise (10 April–13 May 2014). These species are commonly
