Piacenzian (Pliocene) foraminiferal faunal census data from Sites DSDP 594, ODP 642, ODP 846, ODP 882, ODP 982, ODP 1073, ODP 1088, and ODP 1146
Planktic foraminiferal species distributions in the modern ocean track environmental features like latitudinal temperature gradients. Species shift their distributions as the marine environment changes, providing an analog for past behavior. Stationarity of species’ ecological tolerances is a first-order assumption of …
