Mantle processes control plate tectonics and exert an influence on biogeochemical cycles. However, the proportion of mantle sampled in-situ is minimal, as it buried beneath igneous crust sediments. Here we report lithological characteristics two sections from embryonic ocean drilled by International Ocean Discovery Program (IODP) in Tyrrhenian Sea. Contrary to at Mid Ridges (MORs) hyperextended passive margins, our findings reveal exceptionally heterogeneous fertile lithologies, ranging...
Abstract Variation among individuals within species is a biological precondition for co‐existence. Traditional geochemical analysis based on bulk averages facilitates rapid data gathering but necessarily means the loss of large amounts potentially crucial information into variability given sample. As sensitivity improves, it now feasible to build sufficiently powerful datasets investigate paleoclimatic variation at level individual specimens. Here, we and morphological sensu stricto, lato...
Dead species remain dead. The diversity record of life is littered with examples declines and radiations, yet no has ever re-evolved following its true extinction. In contrast, functional traits can transcend declines, often develop iteratively are taxon-free allowing application across taxa, environments time. Planktonic foraminifera have an unrivaled, near continuous fossil for the past 200 million years making them a perfect test organism to understand trait changes through time, but role...
Abstract Understanding how macroalgal forests will respond to environmental change is critical for predicting future impacts on coastal ecosystems. Although measures of adult macroalgae physiological responses stress are advancing, early life‐stage physiology rare, in part due the methodological difficulties associated with their small size. Here we tested a novel, high‐throughput method (rate oxygen consumption and production; ) via sensor dish reader microplate system rapidly measure rates...
Abstract To explore both environmental change and the response of non‐fossilizing phytoplankton across Cretaceous‐Paleogene (K‐Pg) boundary mass extinction event, we determined changes in organic matter (OM) sources using a range apolar ( n ‐alkanes, acyclic isoprenoids, steranes, hopanes) polar (BIT index) biomarkers. We analyzed two K‐Pg proximal sections, located Mississippi Embayment, Gulf Coastal Plain (USA), covering ∼300 kyrs prior to ∼3 myrs after event. The OM abundance composition...
Abstract Understanding current and future biodiversity responses to changing climate is pivotal as anthropogenic change continues. This understanding complicated by the multitude of available metrics quantify dynamics biased sampling protocols. Here, we investigate impact protocol strategies using a data-rich fossil record calculate effective diversity Hill numbers for first time on Paleogene planktonic foraminifera. We sample 22,830 individual tests, in two different size classes, across 7...
