Coccolithophores occupy a special position within the marine phytoplankton because of
their production of intricate calcite scales, or coccoliths. Coccolithophores are major …

Sexual reproduction and clonality in eukaryotes are mostly seen as exclusive, the latter
being rather exceptional. This view might be biased by focusing almost exclusively on …

Coccolithophores are major contributors to global marine planktonic calcification, and in
nature coccolithophores are invariably calcified through almost all of their life cycle. The …

Coccolithophores are unicellular pelagic algae, capable of calcification. In the
Mediterranean Sea, several species have a well-known haplo-diploid life cycle, alternating …

Coccolithophores (calcifying haptophyte algae) commonly exhibit a heteromorphic life cycle,
alternating between morphologically distinct heterococcolith (diploid) and holococcolith …

Many coccolithophores have complex life cycles with haploid and diploid stages bearing
structurally different coccolith types (holococcoliths and heterococcoliths, respectively) …

Coccolithophores are the most significant producers of marine biogenic calcite, although the
intracellular calcification process is poorly understood. In the case of S cyphosphaera …

A natural pH gradient caused by marine CO2 seeps off the Methana peninsula (Saronikos
Gulf, eastern Peloponnese peninsula) was used as a natural laboratory to assess potential …

We present here a collection of light microscope, and comparative scanning electron
microscope, images of extant coccolithophores, sampled from various oceanic locations …

The taxonomy of Paratethyan Middle Miocene calcareous nannofossils is reviewed and
revised. Two new species, Syracosphaera croatica and Syracosphaera horvati, are …
