Plankton response to global warming is characterized by non-uniform shifts in assemblage composition since the last ice age
Biodiversity is expected to change in response to future global warming. However, it is
difficult to predict how species will track the ongoing climate change. Here we use the fossil …

Late Cenozoic cooling restructured global marine plankton communities
The geographic ranges of marine organisms, including planktonic foraminifera, diatoms,
dinoflagellates, copepods and fish, are shifting polewards owing to anthropogenic climate …

Characterizing photosymbiosis in modern planktonic foraminifera
Photosymbiosis has played a key role in the diversification of foraminifera and their
carbonate production throughout geologic history. However, identification of photosymbiosis …

Distribution and ecology of planktic foraminifera in the North Pacific: Implications for paleo-reconstructions
Planktic foraminifera census data have been used to reconstruct past temperatures through
transfer functions, as well as changes in ocean ecosystems, chemistry and circulation. Here …

Thermal niches of planktonic foraminifera are static throughout glacial–interglacial climate change
Abiotic niche lability reduces extinction risk by allowing species to adapt to changing
environmental conditions in situ. In contrast, species with static niches must keep pace with …

Diachroneity rules the mid-latitudes: A test case using Late Neogene planktic foraminifera across the Western Pacific
Planktic foraminifera are commonly used for first-order age control in deep-sea sediments
from low-latitude regions based on a robust tropical–subtropical zonation scheme. Although …
