Faunal and solution patterns of planktonic Foraminifera in surface sediments of the South Pacific
TLDR
The distribution of planktonic Foraminifera in South Pacific sediments reflects the environments of production in surface waters and those of preservation on the ocean floor as mentioned in this paper, and the interrelation of clusters is examined by temperature-solution rank analysis.About:

Modern Planktonic Foraminifera
TL;DR: This chapter discusses the taxonomy and Species Features of Spinose Planktonic Foraminifera, and the development of Symbiosis, Commensalism and Parasitism, as well as the relationships between Symbiont Morphology and Host Physiological Interactions.

Environmental processes of the ice age: land, oceans, glaciers (EPILOG)
TL;DR: The first open science meeting of the EPILOG project (Environmental Processes of the Ice age: Land, Oceans, Glaciers) was held in Delmenhorst, Germany, May 1999 as mentioned in this paper.
Journal ArticleDOI
Planktonic Foraminifera: Selective solution and the lysocline
TL;DR: In this article, a taut wire buoy was used to sample sediment and plankton in the central Pacific to assess the effects of solution on foraminiferal death assemblages.

Climatic change and CaCO3 preservation: An 800,000 year bathymetric Reconstruction from the central equatorial Pacific Ocean
John W Farrell,Warren L. Prell +1 more
TL;DR: In this article, deep-sea cores from the central equatorial Pacific were used to reconstruct a continuous 800,000-year (800-kyr) record of bathymetric variations in carbonate preservation as measured by calcium carbonate (CaCO3) content.
Journal ArticleDOI
The record of Late Pleistocene biogenic sedimentation in the eastern tropical Pacific Ocean
Mitchell W Lyle,David W Murray,Bruce P. Finney,Jack Dymond,James M Robbins,Kathryn Brooksforce +5 more
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors generated ∼300 Kyr records of biogenic opal, calcite, and organic carbon (Corg) for three cores in the eastern and central equatorial Pacific Ocean and compared the records to determine whether common periods of sedimentation have occurred throughout the region.

Measurement of diversity
TL;DR: In this article, the authors define and examine a measure of concentration in terms of population constants, and examine the relationship between the characteristic and the index of diversity when both are applied to a logarithmic distribution.

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.

Latitudinal variations in organic diversity
TL;DR: The following pages serve to review some previously known latitudinalGradients in organic diversity, to describe quantitatively gradients in molluscan diversity along North American shores, and to inquire into the origin of these patterns.
