Decoding sea surface and paleoclimate conditions in the eastern Mediterranean over the Tortonian-Messinian Transition
George Kontakiotis,Evanggelia Besiou,Assimina Antonarakou,Stergios D. Zarkogiannis,A. Kostis,P.G. Mortyn,Pierre Moissette,Jean-Jacques Cornée,Christian Schulbert,Hara Drinia,George Anastasakis,Vassilis Karakitsios +11 more
TL;DR: In this article, the authors present the first evidence for changes in the upper water column reflected by sea surface temperature (SST) and salinity (SSS) variations that correlate with pronounced paleoclimatic fluctuations.

The Zanclean marine fish fauna and palaeoenvironmental reconstruction of a coastal marine setting in the eastern Mediterranean
Konstantina Agiadi,Christina Giamali,Christina Giamali,Angela Girone,Pierre Moissette,Efterpi Koskeridou,Vasileios Karakitsios +6 more
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors present the rich and diverse fish fauna of a coastal setting in the eastern part of the Mediterranean during the early Pliocene, which comprises 54 taxa, 77% of which are extant and currently occupy the same shores.
Journal ArticleDOI
Early Miocene Gastropods from the Felli Section (Proto-Mediterranean Sea, NW Greece
TL;DR: In this paper, the early Miocene mollusc faunas from the Proto-Mediterranean Sea are still poorly-known and two assemblages were recovered, a low-diversity coastal mudflat assemblage dominated by Granulolabium plicatum (Bruguiere, 1792) and Mesohalina margaritacea (Brocchi, 1814), which yielded 44 species, of which three species are described as new and 23 are left in open nomenclature.

Evaluation of the Plio‐Pleistocene astronomical timescale
Lucas Joost Lourens,Assimina Antonarakou,Frits Hilgen,A. A. M. Van Hoof,C. Vergnaud-Grazzini,Willem-Jan Zachariasse +5 more
TL;DR: In this article, an astronomically calibrated timescale has been established for the Pliocene and earliest Pleistocene based on the correlation of dominantly pre-cession controlled sedimentary cycles (sapropels and carbonate cycles) in Mediterranean ma- rine sequences to the precession time series of the astronomical solution of Berger and Loutre ( 1991 ) (hereinafter referred to as Ber90).

Benthic indicators to use in Ecological Quality classification of Mediterranean soft bottom marine ecosystems, including a new Biotic Index
Nomiki Simboura,Argyro Zenetos +1 more
TL;DR: A new biotic index (BENTIX) is proposed based on the relative percentages of three ecological groups of species grouped according to their sensitivity or tolerance to disturbance factors and weighted proportionately to obtain a formula rendering a five step numerical scale of ecological quality classification.

Distribution patterns of live planktic foraminifers as related to regional hydrography and productive systems of the Mediterranean Sea
C. Pujol,C. Vergnaud Grazzini +1 more
TL;DR: In this paper, the distribution patterns of live planktic foraminifers are examined at two times of the year, late summer and late winter, through horizontal plankton towing along a NW-SE transect across the West and East Mediterranean Basins and in the Alboran Sea (French oceanographic cruises Vicomed I, II and III, respectively).

TL;DR: In this paper, a coupled atmosphere-ocean general circulation model was used to simulate the climate of the mid-Pliocene warm period (about three million years ago) and analyse the forcings and feedbacks that contributed to relatively warm temperatures.
