Environmental Controls of Size Distribution of Modern Planktonic Foraminifera in the Tropical Indian Ocean

Environmental Controls of Size Distribution of Modern Planktonic Foraminifera in the Tropical Indian Ocean

Abstract Paleoceanographic studies often rely on abundance changes in microfossil species, with little consideration for characteristics such as organism size, which may also be related to environmental changes. Using a tropical Indian Ocean (TIO) core‐top data set, we test the Optimum size‐hypothes...
