Environmental Predictors of Diversity in Recent Planktonic Foraminifera as Recorded in Marine Sediments.

Global diversity patterns are thought to result from a combination of environmental and historical factors. This study tests the set of ecological and evolutionary hypotheses proposed to explain the global variation in present-day coretop diversity in the macroperforate planktonic foraminifera, a cl...
