TL;DR: The reconstruction indicates that Indian–Atlantic water exchange was highly variable: enhanced during present and past interglacials and largely reduced during glacial intervals, suggesting a crucial role for Agulhas leakage in glacial terminations, timing of interhemispheric climate change and the resulting resumption of the Atlantic meridional overturning circulation.

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors collected surface-water samples and net tows over the upper 150 m of the water column in the eastern South Atlantic Ocean during October and November 1989, and found that of the 24 recorded species, 12 occur abundantly and form 6 foraminiferal assemblages.

TL;DR: In this paper, planktic foraminifera data from three cores of the Angola-ZaYre margin are used to reconstruct palaeopositions of the ABF between the warm Angola Current and cold Benguela Current for the last 180,000 years.

TL;DR: In this article, the authors used modern analogues and a dinocyst transfer function to reconstruct primary palaeoproductivity (PP) in a region of freshwater influence.

TL;DR: In this article, the authors proposed a mechanism for the transport of a mono-specific Neogloboquadrina pachyderma (left) fauna during strong polewards shifts of the frontal systems in the South Atlantic, which could have been transported 700 km offshore to the core location, unadmixed with eutrophic species from the surrounding waters.
