Can morphological features of coccolithophores serve as a reliable proxy to reconstruct environmental conditions of the past?
<p>Morphological changes in coccoliths, tiny calcite platelets covering the outer surface of coccolithophores, can be induced by physiological responses to environmental changes. Coccoliths recovered from sedimentary successions may therefore provide information on paleo-environmental conditio...
