The Relative Stability of Planktic Foraminifer Thermal Preferences over the Past 3 Million Years

The Relative Stability of Planktic Foraminifer Thermal Preferences over the Past 3 Million Years

Stationarity of species’ ecological tolerances is a first-order assumption of paleoenvironmental reconstruction based upon analog methods. To test this and other assumptions used in quantitative analysis of foraminiferal faunas for paleoceanographic reconstruction, we analyzed paired alkenone unsatu...
