Disruptive selection and bet-hedging in planktonic Foraminifera: Shell morphology as predictor of extinctions
Extinction is a remarkably difficult phenomenon to study under natural conditions. This is because the outcome of stress exposure and associated fitness reduction is not known until the extinction occurs and it remains unclear whether there is any phenotypic reaction of the exposed population that c...
