Environmental controls on planktonic foraminiferal diversity in ancient and modern oceans
Planktonic foraminifera are unicellular zooplankton, whose calcium carbonate ‘shells’, wide geographic distributions and very large population sizes combine to give them perhaps the best fossil record over the last 66 Ma of any group. Site-level assemblage diversity can be estimated comparably in th...
