Description for Planktic Foraminifers in the Modern Ocean
Hardcover. Num Pages: 358 pages, 112 black & white illustrations, 49 colour illustrations, 70 colour tables, biography. BIC Classification: PSV; RBX; RGM. Category: (G) General (US: Trade). Dimension: 254 x 178. Weight in Grams: 899.
This book provides a comprehensive overview of the taxonomy, biology, sedimentation, and carbonate geochemistry of modern species. Students, early career and advanced scientists alike will profit from a broad synthesis of the current understanding of planktic foraminifers as an ecological indicator, biogeochemical factories, and proxies in paleoceanography. The classification of modern species is amply illustrated with electron and light microscope images of morphotypes, addresses the state-of-the-art of molecular genetics of species, and provides a detailed guide for any laboratory analyses. The biology of planktic foraminifers is extensively discussed in chapters dedicated to the cellular ultrastructure, nutrition, symbionts, reproduction, ontogeny, and ... Read more

Reviews for Planktic Foraminifers in the Modern Ocean
“This is an excellent state-of-the-art book containing a wealth of information attractively presented in well-written text and high quality plates and diagrams. As knowledge of modern processes is essential to the interpretation of the fossil record this book will be essential reading for biologists and geologists undertaking research on planktic foraminifera.” (John Murray, Newsletter of Micropaleontology, Issue 96, October, 2017) ...
