Whether the fossil record should be read at face value or whether it presents a distorted view
of the history of life is an argument seemingly as old as many fossils themselves. In the late …

We present new data on genotypic differences and biogeographic distribution of coiling
types in the living planktonic foraminiferal morphospecies Neogloboquadrina pachyderma …

Fossil planktic foraminifers in the ocean sediments play an unparalleled role in our
understanding of the oceanographic environment in the past. An in depth knowledge of their …

It is unknown how pelagic marine protists undergo diversification and speciation.
Superficially, the open ocean appears homogeneous, with few clear barriers to gene flow …

Marine planktonic diatoms export carbon to the deep ocean, playing a key role in the global
carbon cycle. Although commonly thought to have diversified over the Cenozoic as global …

The study of evolution has increasingly incorporated considerations of history, scale, and
hierarchy, in terms of both the origin of variation and the sorting of that variation. Although …
