The early evolutionary and much of the extinction history of marine animals is thought to be
driven by changes in dissolved oxygen concentrations ([O2]) in the ocean,–. In turn,[O2] is …

Paleontological reconstructions of plankton community structure during warm periods of the
Cenozoic (last 66 million years) reveal that deep-dwelling 'twilight zone'(200–1000 m) …

Abstract The Late Miocene Biogenic Bloom (LMBB) is a late Miocene to early Pliocene
oceanographic event characterized by high accumulation rates of opal from diatoms and …

The fossil record of marine microplankton provides insights into the evolutionary drivers
which led to the origin of modern deep-water plankton, one of the largest components of …

The geological record of marine animal biodiversity reflects the interplay between changing
rates of speciation versus extinction. Compared to mass extinctions, background extinctions …

The seminal work of Sepkoski et al.(1, 2) constituted a milestone in the quantitative
reconstruction of marine (invertebrate) biodiversity over the Phanerozoic (past 541 Ma) …

Abstract The warmer-than-present (5–10° C) climate during the Miocene Climate Optimum
(MMCO, approximately 16.9–14.7 Ma) is likely to serve as a reference for future pessimistic …

The global ocean circulation plays a pivotal role in the regulation of the Earth's climate. The
