TL;DR: Paleoecological, archaeological, and historical data show that time lags of decades to centuries occurred between the onset of overfishing and consequent changes in ecological communities, because unfished species of similar trophic level assumed the ecological roles of over-fished species until they too were overfished or died of epidemic diseases related to overcrowding as mentioned in this paper.
Journal ArticleDOI
Diversity of Planktonic Foraminifera in Deep-Sea Sediments
TL;DR: The diversity of a planktonic foraminiferal assemblage on the ocean floor depends on the state of preservation of that assemblages, and as dissolution progresses, species diversity decreases, but compound diversity first increases and then decreases; species dominance first decreases and then increases.

The South Atlantic: Present and Past Circulation
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors present a model of the South Atlantic Ocean's circulation and its variability based on the TOPEX/POSEIDON mission data collected by the International Oceanographic and Atmospheric Organization (OIE).
Journal ArticleDOI
Isotope paleontology: growth and composition of extant calcareous species
Gerold Wefer,Wolfgang H Berger +1 more
TL;DR: Isotope paleontology uses the isotopic composition of fossil remains of organisms to make inferences about the physical surroundings of growth of the organisms (especially temperature), and to obtain clues about life history and modes of growth.
