Video plankton recorder reveals high abundances of colonial Radiolaria in surface waters of the central North Pacific
Polycystine Radiolaria are one of the most conspicuous zooplankton taxa inhabiting the oceanic waters of the tropics and subtropics. Radiolaria are single-celled, eukaryotic organisms that are exclusively marine and, almost exclusively oceanic in their distributions. The unique morphologies and complex life histories of these organisms have captured the attention and imagination of biologists a...
متن کاملRapid Fluctuations in Mid-Latitude Siliceous Plankton Production during the Middle Eocene Climatic Optimum (ODP Site 1051, Western North Atlantic)
The Middle Eocene Climatic Optimum (MECO; ~ 40 million years ago [Ma]) is one of the most prominent transient global warming events in the Paleogene. Although the event is well documented in geochemical and isotopic proxy records at many locations, the marine biotic response to the MECO remains poorly constrained. We present new high-resolution, quantitative records of siliceous microplankton a...
متن کاملComprehensive Model of Annual Plankton Succession Based on the Whole-Plankton Time Series Approach
Ecological succession provides a widely accepted description of seasonal changes in phytoplankton and mesozooplankton assemblages in the natural environment, but concurrent changes in smaller (i.e. microbes) and larger (i.e. macroplankton) organisms are not included in the model because plankton ranging from bacteria to jellies are seldom sampled and analyzed simultaneously. Here we studied, fo...
متن کاملMolecular phylogeny of symbiotic dinoflagellates from planktonic foraminifera and radiolaria.
Recent analyses of the small subunit ribosomal DNA (srDNA) from dinoflagellate symbionts of cnidaria have confirmed historical descriptions of a diverse but well-defined clade, Symbiodinium, as well as several other independent symbiont lineages (Rowan 1991; Rowan and Powers 1992; Sadler et al. 1992; McNally et al 1994). Dinoflagellates also occur as intracellular symbionts in a number of pelag...
متن کاملMagnetite dissolution in siliceous sediments
[1] Magnetite dissolution, and consequent loss of magnetization, is widely observed in reducing sedimentary environments, where the decrease in Eh-pH values with depth is driven by bacterially mediated degradation of organic carbon. We have observed low magnetizations in sediments with elevated pore water silica concentrations that arise from diagenesis of biogenic silica and/or silicic volcani...
