Radiolarian settling fluxes and standing stocks from the central equatorial Pacific are more indicative of physical process than the living environment of the organism. Polycystine radiolaria were collected from plankton and in moored sediment traps along

Since the 1950s, it has become apparent that Radiolaria have significant biostratigraphical potential throughout Phanerozoic time, including the Late Neogene and Quaternary. Radiolarian biozonation schemes for this period have been developed, including

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

Particle trap samples (VERTEX) from 4 locations in the northeast Pacific were used to compare centric and pennate diatoms with nassellarian and spumellarian radiolarians. The proportion of pennates and nassellarians were highest at VERTEX 3 from the northeast

Radiolarians are a very diverse microzooplanktonic group, often distributed in regionally restricted assemblages and responding to specific environmental factors. These properties of radiolarian assemblages make the group more conducive for the development
