Stationarity of species’ ecological tolerances is a first-order assumption paleoenvironmental reconstruction based upon analog methods. To test this and other assumptions used in quantitative analysis foraminiferal faunas for paleoceanographic reconstruction, we analyzed paired alkenone unsaturation ratio (U37K′) sea surface temperature (SST) estimates relative abundances planktic foraminifera ...

The youngest epibathyal marine deposits in the Eastern Mediterranean Region giving Calabrian age have been recently discovered southern Central Anatolian Plateau, Turkey. Hence planktic foraminifer paleoecology of surface waters has not investigated yet. This study reports assemblages two aged successions Mersin district Turkey and their ecological properties sea-surface terms various parameter...
