Biogeography and evolution of body size in marine plankton

DN Schmidt, D Lazarus, JR Young, M Kucera - Earth-Science Reviews, 2006 - Elsevier
Body size is a central feature of any organism, reflecting its physiology, ecology and
evolutionary history. Marine microplankton are major contributors to the particulate inorganic …

Reassessing foraminiferal stable isotope geochemistry: Impact of the oceanic carbonate system (experimental results)

J Bijma, HJ Spero, DW Lea - Use of proxies in paleoceanography …, 1999 - Springer
Laboratory experiments with living planktic foraminifers show that the δ 13 C and δ 18 O

A resolution for the coiling direction paradox in Neogloboquadrina pachyderma

KF Darling, M Kucera, D Kroon, CM Wade - Paleoceanography, 2006 - Wiley Online Library

The effect of upwelling on the distribution and stable isotope composition of Globigerina bulloides and Globigerinoides ruber (planktic foraminifera) in modern surface …

FJC Peeters, GJA Brummer, G Ganssen - Global and Planetary Change, 2002 - Elsevier
Hydrographic changes in the NW Arabian Sea are mainly controlled by the monsoon
system. This results in a strong seasonal and vertical gradient in surface water properties …

Size distribution of Holocene planktic foraminifer assemblages: biogeography, ecology and adaptation

DN Schmidt, S Renaud, J Bollmann, R Schiebel… - Marine …, 2004 - Elsevier
The size of any organism is influenced by the surrounding ecological conditions. In this
study, we investigate the effects of such factors on the size spectra of planktic foraminiferal …

Population dynamics of the planktic foraminifer Globigerina bulloides from the eastern North Atlantic

R Schiebel, J Bijma, C Hemleben - Deep Sea Research Part I …, 1997 - Elsevier
A cumulative data set from the eastern North Atlantic was compiled and analysed to study
the population dynamics of Globigerina bulloides. Data were generated from samples …

Distribution of diatoms, coccolithophores and planktic foraminifers along a trophic gradient during SW monsoon in the Arabian Sea

R Schiebel, A Zeltner, UF Treppke, JJ Waniek… - Marine …, 2004 - Elsevier
The distribution of diatoms, coccolithophores and planktic foraminifers mirrored the
hydrographic and trophic conditions of the surface ocean (0–100 m) across the upwelling …

Productivity collapses in the Arabian Sea during glacial cold phases

AD Singh, SJA Jung, K Darling… - …, 2011 - Wiley Online Library
Productivity in the Arabian Sea is one of the highest in the world. It is controlled by
seasonally reversing monsoonal wind‐driven upwelling of nutrient‐rich deeper waters …

Primary production in the Arabian Sea during the last 135 000 years

E Ivanova, R Schiebel, AD Singh, G Schmiedl… - Palaeogeography …, 2003 - Elsevier
Variations in primary productivity (PP) have been reconstructed in eutrophic, mesotrophic
and oligotrophic parts of the Arabian Sea over the past 135 000 years applying principal …
