Our planet is changing, and one of the most pressing challenges facing the scientific
community revolves around understanding how ecological communities respond to global …

The biodiversity of deep-sea ecosystems is closely linked to orbital and suborbital climate
changes during the late Quaternary as documented by the diversity and species …

Coastal hypoxia (defined here as< 1.42 ml L− 1; 62.5 μM; 2 mg L− 1, approx. 30% oxygen

The South China Sea is the largest low‐latitude marginal sea on the globe. For a long time,
researchers from various fields have been curious about the sea. For instance, geologists …

Deep-sea benthic foraminifera live in the largest habitat on Earth, constitute an important
part of its benthic biomass, and form diverse assemblages with common cosmopolitan …

An asteroid impact at the end of the Cretaceous caused mass extinction, but extinction

Marine sediments from the North Pacific document two episodes of expansion and
strengthening of the subsurface oxygen minimum zone (OMZ) accompanied by seafloor …

The CO 2 concentration of air has increased over the last two centuries and recently
surpassed 400 ppm. Carbon cycle models project CO 2 concentrations of 720 to 1000 ppm …

Antarctic continental‐scale glaciation is generally assumed to have initiated at the Eocene‐
Oligocene Transition, yet its subsequent evolution is poorly constrained. We reconstruct …

Plate tectonics and eustatic sea-level changes have fundamental effects on
paleoenvironmental conditions and bio-ecological changes. The Paratethys Sea was a …
