Thanks Pallavi! Lots to do together in the future! Looking forward to it! :D

Thanks Neil! Lots of ideas to talk through that's for sure! 😄

In line with previous work, we invoke substantial changes in the thermal and nutrient structure of the global water column associated with the inception of the Antarctic ice sheet as the primary mechanism for these changes.

This pattern is replicated on the global scale, where we looked at the same assemblage dynamics using the Triton dataset.

By assigning planktonic foraminifera to the functional ecological niche groups (ecogroups), we found that the assemblages in the western equatorial Atlantic exhibit a distinct turnover from communities dominated by warm-water dwellers to those dominated by cold-water dwellers.

In this study, we (myself, Kirsty Edgar, Tom Dunkley Jones, Carina Hoorn, Bridget Wade) analysed planktonic foraminifera from the Amazon Fan, where the Eocene-Oligocene sediments represent a rare low-latitude record of ecosystem change across the Greenhouse-Icehouse climate transition.

Low-latitude biostratigraphy and diversity of planktonic foraminifera from the middle Eocene to early Oligocene Abstract. The middle Eocene through early Oligocene was an important interval for Cenozoic climate evolution, having a substantial impact on global palaeoceanography and the biosphere. At the Eocene–O...
