Late Pleistocene pteropods, heteropods and planktonic foraminifera from the Caribbean Sea, Mediterranean Sea and Indian Ocean

Abstract: Pteropods and heteropods (holoplanktonic gastropods) are an important component of the modern oceans; however, detailed information on their distribution in the fossil record is often based on poorly preserved specimens. This study presents the micropaleontological analysis of three exceptionally well-preserved Late Pleistocene marine sediment cores from the eastern Caribbean Sea, western Mediterranean Sea and the Indian Ocean. This study presents the first stratigraphical record of heteropods in the Caribbean… Show more

“…The absence of the Pacific lineage from the Indian Ocean, despite potential connectivity with the North Pacific, where both lineages are present, could be the result of, for example, incomplete sampling, niche incumbency effects (as in Weiner et al, 2014), recent extinction in the Indian Ocean or a combination of factors. A recent extinction in the Indian Ocean has been recorded in the fossil record of another pteropod species (Wall‐Palmer et al, 2014). More detailed sampling, in the Indian and Pacific Oceans, will be needed to resolve the geographical boundaries and extent of overlap between the two lineages and to understand the causes behind their modern‐day distributions.…”

“…The results were referenced to 1 g of sediments. Only whole specimens or fragments with preserved protoconchs were counted to avoid possible miscounting following, e.g., Wall-Palmer et al (2014).…”

“…Holoplanktonic gastropods, representing less than 1 % of the total marine gastropod population, spend their entire life cycle in the water column (Wall-Palmer et al, 2014). They constitute an important part of the marine food web and have a major role in the carbon cycle, producing aragonite shells (Bè and Gilmer, 1977;Pierrot-Bults and Peijnenburg, 2015).…”
