All of the specimens were collected from the lower photic zone (75–160 m). The coccoliths possess a proximal flange, a slightly flared wall with a serrated distal margin, and a relatively plain central area structure comprised only of overlapping laths. The taxon appears to be an undescribed species of the Syracosphaera nodosa group, so we describe it herein as Syracosphaera rhombica sp. nov. © 2016 Published by Elsevier Masson SAS.

Living Coccolithophores from the Eastern Equatorial Indian Ocean During the Spring Intermonsoon: Indicators of Hydrography

We studied the biodiversity of autotrophic calcareous coccolithophore assemblages at 30 locations in the eastern equatorial Indian Ocean (EEIO) (80°-94°E, 6°N-5°S) and evaluated the importance of regional hydrology. We found 25 taxa of coccospheres and 17 taxa of coccoliths. The coccolithophore community was dominated by Gephyrocapsa oceanica, Emiliania huxleyi, Florisphaera profunda, Umbilicosphaera sibogae, and Helicosphaera carteri. The abundance of coccoliths and coccospheres ranged from 0.192×103 to 161.709×103 coccoliths l-1 and 0.192 ×103 to 68.365×103 cells l-1, averaged at 22.658×103 coccoliths l-1 and 9.386×103 cells l-1, respectively. Biogenic PIC, POC, and rain ratio mean values were 0.498 μgC l-1, 1.047 μgC l-1, and 0.990 respectively. High abundances of both coccoliths and coccospheres in the surface ocean layer occurred north of the equator. -

A Sea of Lilliputians
1 5/27/08 A Sea of Lilliputians by Marie-Pierre Aubry Department of Earth and Planetary Sciences Rutgers University 610 Taylor Road, Piscataway, New Jersey 08854-8066 and Department of Geology and Geophysics Woods Hole Oceanographic Institution Woods Hole Ma 02543 Fax: 732 445 3374, [email protected] Abstract Smaller size is generally seen as a negative response of organisms to stressful environmental conditions, associated with low diversity and species dominance. The mean size of the coccolithophorids decreased through the Neogene, leading to the prediction that their extant representatives are characterized by poor diversification and low specialization. The study of the (exo)coccospheres of selected taxa in the order Syracosphaerales negates this prediction, revealing that on the contrary some extant lineages are highly diversified and remarkably specialized. Whereas the general role of coccoliths remains indeterminate, this analysis suggests that some highly derived coccoliths may be modified for the collection of food particles, including picoplankton, thus implying that mixotrophy may characterize these lineages. In the extant coccolithophorids, species richness of genera is inversely correlated with the size of cells, definitive evidence that small size is part of a morphologic strategy rather than a sign of evolutionary failure. Because of their extreme minuteness, the extant nannoplankton can be well compared to Lilliputians, but the trend toward size decrease in Neogene lineages is not attributable to the Lilliput effect described by Urbanek (1993). 2 5/27/08 Key words: Extant coccolithophorids, Neogene, size, exococcospheres, functional morphology, mixotrophy. 1. Introduction Cope’s law, which in its broadest concept states that the size of organisms increases as lineages diversify, is generally regarded as prevalent among organisms despite a considerable debate as to its significance (e.g., Stanley, 1973, Gould, 1997, Jablonski, 1997, Alroy, 1998, Trammer, 2002). -
Calcareous Nannoplankton As a Tracer of the Marine Influence on the NW Coast of Portugal Over the Last 14 000 Years

Drago INIAP, IPIMAR, CRIPSUL, 8700-305 Olhão, Portugal Manuscript received 22nd March, 2005; revised manuscript accepted 19th August, 2005 Abstract A calcareous nannoplankton taphonomic and palaeoecological study was performed on cores from the Minho and Douro Estuaries (NW Portugal) and from the NW Portuguese middle continental shelf. Because certain nannoplankton species are taphonomically resistant to the highly energetic and aggressive conditions between the estuaries and the shelf, their sedimentary record acts as an oceanic tracer in such coastal domains. For the Late Quaternary, this allows interpretation of eustatic variation from the induced sequence of palaeoenvironmental changes. Palaeogeographically, the time-series pattern of nannofossil abundances in these coastal sediments is inter- preted as follows: (1) persistently high amounts of nannofossils (2x107 nannofossils/g) are related to marine envi- ronmental conditions, produced by post-glacial flooding of pre-existing valleys; (2) the gradual increase in intermit- tency of nannofossil abundances through time indicates a regressive trend, first due to recovery of the estuarine con- ditions, followed by a total absence of nannofossils, indicating evolution towards complete emersion either by flu- vial (Core CPF1) or barrier-beach sediments (Cores M1, M2, D1A and D1B). -

Coccolithophores are a diverse group of calcifying phytoplankton, which are responsible for a large part of the modern oceanic carbonate production. Here, we describe novel or poorly known coccolithophores and novel life cycle combination coccospheres detected in samples collected either in the Gulf of Aqaba in the northern Red Sea or in the Gulf of Naples in the western Mediterranean. These include Syracosphaera win- teri, for which detached coccoliths have previously been recorded but both a formal description and taxonomic affiliation were lacking, and five undescribed sets of combination cells linking HET and HOL forms for S. pul- chra, S. mediterranea, S. azureaplaneta, S. lamina and S. orbicula.

Digital Comprehensive Summaries of Uppsala Dissertations from the Faculty of Science and Technology 1427. 54 pp. Uppsala: Acta Universitatis Upsaliensis. ISBN 978-91-554-9689-0. Coccolithophores are biogeochemically important marine algae that interact with the carbon cycle through photosynthesis (CO2 sink), calcification (CO2 source) and burial of carbon into oceanic sediments. The group is considered susceptible to the ongoing climate perturbations, in particular to ocean acidification, temperature increase and nutrient limitation. The aim of this thesis was to investigate the adaptation of coccolithophores to environmental change, with the focus on temperature stress and nutrient limitation. The research was conducted in frame of three approaches: experiments testing the physiological response of coccolithophore species Helicosphaera carteri and Coccolithus pelagicus to phosphorus limitation, field studies on coccolithophore life-cycles with a method comparison and an investigation of the phenotypic evolution of the coccolithophore genus Helicosphaera over the past 15 Ma. Experimental results show that the physiology and morphology of large coccolithophores are sensitive to phosphorus limitation, and that the adaptation to low-nutrient conditions can lead to a decrease in calcification rates.
