TL;DR: In this article, a quantitative analysis was carried out on coccolith assemblages from two Pleistocene cores (K1 and K10) from the western Mediterranean from the Liguro Provencal basin.

TL;DR: In this article, the dominance of a precession-related signal indicates that regional climate oscillations rather than (obliquity-related) glacio-eustatically controlled influxes of Atlantic and/or Mediterranean waters are responsible for faunal fluctuations and sedimentary cyclicity.

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors use quantitative analyses of planktic foraminiferal assemblages and stable isotope analyses of the Sorbas section in the western Mediterranean to reconstruct the cyclical changes in surface and deep water hydrographic conditions during the Late Miocene prior to the Messinian salinity crisis.

TL;DR: The spatial and vertical distributions of live benthic foraminifera from the muddy central axis of the Ria de Vigo were examined under downwelling and upwelling conditions as discussed by the authors.

TL;DR: In this article, the authors compare the climatic conditions of two areas over the last two millennia based on proxies of temperature (sea surface temperatures and oxygen isotopes), continental input (grain size, iron and magnetic susceptibility) and productivity (inorganic and organic carbon, carbon isotopes, benthic foraminifera and diatoms).
