Several core-top studies show lower planktic foraminifera I/Ca in locations with oxygen depleted subsurface waters compared to well oxygenated environments. The reasoning behind this trend is that only the oxidized species of iodine, iodate, is incorporated in foraminiferal calcite. The I/Ca of foraminiferal calcite is thought to reflect iodate contents in seawater. To test this hypothesis, we compare planktic foraminifera I/Ca ratios, obtained from plankton tows, with published and new seawater iodate concentrations from 1) the Eastern North Pacific with extensive oxygen depletion, 2) the Benguela Current System with moderately depleted oxygen concentrations, and 3) the well oxygenated North and South Atlantic. We find the lowest I/Ca ratios (0.07 µmol/mol) in planktic foraminifera retrieved from the Eastern North Pacific, and higher values for samples (up to 0.72 µmol/mol) obtained from the Benguela Current System and North and South Atlantic. The I/Ca ratios of plankton tow foraminifera from environments with well oxygenated subsurface waters, however, are an order of magnitude lower compared to core-tops from similarly well-oxygenated regions. This would suggest that planktic foraminifera gain iodine post-mortem, either when sinking through the water column, or during burial.}, journal={Frontiers in Marine Science}, publisher={Frontiers Media SA}, author={Winkelbauer, Helge A. and Hoogakker, Babette A.

While it is understood that the extent and intensity of oxygen minimum zones are responsive to climate, the limited suite of viable proxies for low oxygen pelagic environments continues to pose a real barrier for paleoclimate interpretations. Here we investigate the proxy potential of an array of trace element (Mg, Mn, Zn, and Sr) to Ca ratios from the shells of Globorotaloides hexagonus, a planktic foraminifer endemic to tropical through temperate oxygen minimum zones. A species-specific relationship between Mg/Ca and temperature is proposed for quantitative reconstruction of oxygen minimum zone paleotemperatures. Both Mn/Ca and Zn/Ca ratios vary with oxygen concentration and could be useful for reconstructing G. hexagonus habitat where the primary signal can be d\istinguished from diagenetic overprinting. Finally, a robust correlation between Sr/Ca ratios and dissolved oxygen demonstrates a role for Sr as an indicator of oxygen minimum zone intensity, potentially via foraminiferal growth rate.

We use laser ablation inductively coupled plasma mass spectrometry (LA-ICP-MS) to differentiate between the elemental composition of the crust and lamellar calcite in non-encrusted (<150 m calcification depth) and encrusted (>150 m calcification depth) specimens of G. truncatulinoides.

We include seasonal water column profiles of the Ba/Ca ratio in the northern Gulf of Mexico and determine that the vertical gradient in seawater barium concentration cannot account for the intra-test Ba/Ca variations in G. truncatulinoides. We find the Ba/Ca ratio of the crust to be within the range observed in co-occurring spinose species of foraminifera (pink and white chromotypes of Globigerinoides ruber, and Orbulina universa) while the range of Ba/Ca in lamellar calcite is consistent with co-occurring non-spinose foraminifera (Pulleniatina obliquiloculata, Globorotalia menardii, G. tumida, and Neogloboquadrina dutertrei). Our data are consistent with the hypothesis that G. truncatulinoides calcifies in a marine snow aggregate microenvironment that is enriched in barium relative to ambient seawater.

Here, we examine photosymbiont associations in planktic foraminifera at Shatsky Rise (ODP Site 1209, Pacific Ocean) across periods of global warming of differing magnitude and duration. We compare published data from the Paleocene-Eocene Thermal Maximum (PETM; ~55.9 Ma) with data from the less intense Eocene Thermal Maximum 2 (ETM2; ~54.0 Ma), and H2 events (~53.9 Ma). We use a positive relationship between test size and carbon isotope value (size-δ13C) in foraminifera shells as a proxy for photosymbiosis in Morozovella subbotinae and Acarinina soldadoensis, and find no change in photosymbiont associations during the less intense warming events, in contrast with PETM records indicating a shift in symbiosis in A. soldadoensis (but not M. subbotinae). Declines in abundance and differing preservation potential of the asymbiotic species Subbotina roesnaesensis along with sediment mixing likely account for diminished differences in δ13C between symbiotic and asymbiotic species from the PETM and ETM2. We therefore conclude that photosymbiont associations were maintained in both A. soldadoensis and M. subbotinae across ETM2 and H2.

In order to use pteropods as recorders of ocean chemistry, it is first necessary to understand where they calcify and how this may change through the year, whether this signal is affected by dissolution, and if shells are retained in the subfossil, and eventually fossil, record. Here we create the first annual record of the stable isotopic composition of shells of the pteropodHeliconoides inflatusin the Cariaco Basin, Venezuela utilizing samples and data from the CARIACO time series. Sixty-fourH. inflatusspecimens from 17 sediment trap samples between November 1996 and April 1998, and 22 specimens from the late Holocene-aged CAR2000-MC-2 core were analyzed for shell condition (an assessment of the amount of dissolution that a shell has experienced), size, and carbon and oxygen isotopic composition. Carbon isotopic measurements of juveniles (< 1mm) were more variable than those in adults (>1 mm), suggesting juvenile pteropods likely have a higher growth rate, and therefore different metabolic vital effects, and a more varied diet than adult pteropods.H. inflatuswas found to have an apparent calcification depth of 51.2 ± 34.0 m, suggesting they calcify at the shallowest part of their diurnal migration in the mixed layer (10–35 m in the Cariaco Basin).H. inflatusshell calcification will therefore only be impacted by changes in water chemistry at mixed layer depths. The shell condition did not impact the stable isotopic composition of the shells in either the sediment trap or core sample, suggesting the potential for using the isotopic composition of pteropod shells as oceanographic proxies when they are preserved. Comparisons between sediment trap and core sample show a 0.5°C warming that is marginally significant and a significant 0.45‰ decrease in δ13C between the late Holocene and the late 1990's.

We analyzed the trace elemental composition (Mg/Ca, Sr/Ca, Ba/Ca, Mn/Ca, and U/Ca) of four species of planktic foraminifera (Globigerina ruber, Neogloboquadrina dutertrei, Globorotalia menardii, and Globorotaloides hexagonus) from moored sediment traps (890, 2590, and 3560 m deep) in the Panama Basin collected over one calendar year (1979–1980).

Most elemental ratios are not significantly influenced by depth, with the exception of Mn/Ca. Ratios of Mn/Ca are substantially higher in the 3560 m trap versus the 890 m trap, with increases with depth greater in the thin walled species G. ruber and G. hexagonus.

In the Sea of Okhotsk, Holocene discrepancies between δ18O and Uk’37 may be the result of changes in near-surface stratification. We find that sea-surface warming occurred prior to the onset of the Bølling-Allerød (14.7 ka) and coincident with the onset of the Holocene (11.7 ka) in much of the North Pacific and Bering Sea. Proxy records also show a cold reversal roughly synchronous with the Younger Dryas (12.9–11.7 ka).

We use two species of planktonic foraminifera from the climatically susceptible, palaeoceanographically important genus Neogloboquadrina, as ideal test microorganisms for the application of 16S rRNA gene metabarcoding. Neogloboquadrina dutertrei and Neogloboquadrina incompta were collected from the California Current and subjected to either 16S rRNA gene metabarcoding, fluorescence microscopy, or transmission electron microscopy (TEM) to investigate their species-specific trophic interactions and potential symbiotic associations. 53–99% of 16S rRNA gene sequences recovered from two specimens of N. dutertrei were assigned to a single operational taxonomic unit (OTU) from a chloroplast of the phylum Stramenopile. TEM observations confirmed the presence of numerous intact coccoid algae within the host cell, consistent with algal symbionts. Based on sequence data and observed ultrastructure, we taxonomically assign the putative algal symbionts to Pelagophyceae and not Chrysophyceae, as previously reported in this species. In addition, our data shows that N. dutertrei feeds on protists within particulate organic matter (POM), but not on bacteria as a major food source. In total contrast, of OTUs recovered from three N. incompta specimens, 83–95% were assigned to bacterial classes Alteromonadales and Vibrionales of the order Gammaproteobacteria.

A better understanding of this geochemical anomaly could provide insights into the habitat and/or controls over Ba incorporation in these species and expand their utility in paleoclimate research. In spinose species, shell Ba/Ca depends only on the Ba/Ca ratio of seawater. Proposed explanations for high non-spinose Ba/Ca include (1) the empirical partition coefficient, DBa, differs from the spinose species, (2) shell Ba varies with seawater temperature and pH, or (3) non-spinose foraminifers have a preference for prey that has elevated Ba. We performed laboratory culture experiments to determine DBa for the thermocline-dwelling non-spinose planktic foraminifer Neogloboquadrina dutertrei. We find that the Ba/Ca ratio of foraminiferal calcite secreted in the laboratory varies linearly with the Ba/Ca ratio of the seawater. The DBa for this species, 0.11 ± 0.008 (2SE; 95% CL), is similar to the DBa for spinose species (0.13 ± 0.004, 2SE; 95% CL). As in spinose species, the Ba/Ca ratio of cultured specimens of N. dutertrei is not influenced by culture temperature (12–22 °C) or seawater pHNBS (range 7.8–8.3). However, the Ba/Ca ratio of individual plankton-tow N. dutertrei specimens that completed their lifecycle in the ocean exceeds the Ba/Ca ratio of cultured specimens by up to three orders of magnitude. It is unlikely this difference between cultured specimens and ocean-grown specimens is due to seawater [Ba] variability, since seawater Ba/Ca ratios calculated using our DBa are much higher than exist in the ocean. Rather, we suggest that elevated shell Ba/Ca in plankton tow and fossil N. dutertrei is due to calcification in the microenvironment of marine organic aggregates such as marine snow, where [Ba] is elevated as a result of Ba release from biogenic particulates.}, journal={Geochimica et Cosmochimica Acta}, publisher={Elsevier BV}, author={Fehrenbacher, Jennifer S. and Russell, Ann D. and Davis, Catherine V. and Spero, Howard J. and Chu, Edward and Hönisch, Bärbel}, year={2018}, month={Sep}, pages={361–372} } @article{burke_renema_henehan_elder_davis_maas_foster_schiebel_hull_2018, title={Factors influencing test porosity in planktonic foraminifera}, volume={15}, ISSN={1726-4189}, url={http://dx.doi.org/10.5194/bg-15-6607-2018}, DOI={10.5194/bg-15-6607-2018}, abstractNote={Abstract. The clustering of mitochondria near pores in the test walls of foraminifera suggests that these perforations play a critical role in metabolic gas exchange. As such, pore measurements could provide a novel means of tracking changes in metabolic rate in the fossil record. However, in planktonic foraminifera, variation in average pore area, density, and porosity (the total percentage of a test wall that is open pore space) have been variously attributed to environmental, biological, and taxonomic drivers, complicating such an interpretation. Here we examine the environmental, biological, and evolutionary determinants of pore characteristics in 718 individuals, representing 17 morphospecies of planktonic foraminifera from 6 core tops in the North Atlantic. Using random forest models, we find that porosity is primarily correlated to test surface area, test volume, and habitat temperature, key factors in determining metabolic rates. In order to test if this correlation arose spuriously through the association of cryptic species with distinct biomes, we cultured Globigerinoides ruber in three different temperature conditions, and found that porosity increased with temperature. Crucially, these results show that porosity can be plastic: changing in response to environmental drivers within the lifetime of an individual foraminifer. This demonstrates the potential of porosity as a proxy for foraminiferal metabolic rates, with significance for interpreting geochemical data and the physiology of foraminifera in non-analog environments. It also highlights the importance of phenotypic plasticity (i.e., ecophenotypy) in accounting for some aspects of morphological variation in the modern and fossil record. }, number={21}, journal={Biogeosciences}, publisher={Copernicus GmbH}, author={Burke, Janet E. and Renema, Willem and Henehan, Michael J. and Elder, Leanne E. and Davis, Catherine V. and Maas, Amy E. and Foster, Gavin L. and Schiebel, Ralf and Hull, Pincelli M.}, year={2018}, month={Nov}, pages={6607–6619} } @article{davis_hewett_hill_largier_gaylord_jahncke_2018, title={Reconstructing Aragonite Saturation State Based on an Empirical Relationship for Northern California}, volume={41}, ISSN={1559-2723 1559-2731}, url={http://dx.doi.org/10.1007/s12237-018-0372-0}, DOI={10.1007/s12237-018-0372-0}, number={7}, journal={Estuaries and Coasts}, publisher={Springer Science and Business Media LLC}, author={Davis, Catherine V. and Hewett, Kathryn and Hill, Tessa M. and Largier, John L. and Gaylord, Brian and Jahncke, Jaime}, year={2018}, month={Apr}, pages={2056–2069} } @article{borreggine_myhre_mislan_deutsch_davis_2017, title={A database of paleoceanographic sediment cores from the North Pacific, 1951–2016}, volume={9}, ISSN={1866-3516}, url={http://dx.doi.org/10.5194/essd-9-739-2017}, DOI={10.5194/essd-9-739-2017}, abstractNote={Abstract.

We investigated the possibility of bacterial symbiosis in Globigerina bulloides, a palaeoceanographically important, planktonic foraminifer. This marine protist is commonly used in micropalaeontological investigations of climatically sensitive subpolar and temperate water masses as well as wind-driven upwelling regions of the world's oceans. G. bulloides is unusual because it lacks the protist algal symbionts that are often found in other spinose species. In addition, it has a large offset in its stable carbon and oxygen isotopic compositions compared to other planktonic foraminifer species, and also that predicted from seawater equilibrium. This is suggestive of novel differences in ecology and life history of G. bulloides, making it a good candidate for investigating the potential for bacterial symbiosis as a contributory factor influencing shell calcification. Such information is essential to evaluate fully the potential response of G. bulloides to ocean acidification and climate change. To investigate possible ecological interactions between G. bulloides and marine bacteria, 18S rRNA gene sequencing, fluorescence microscopy, 16S rRNA gene metabarcoding and transmission electron microscopy (TEM) were performed on individual specimens of G. bulloides (type IId) collected from two locations in the California Current. Intracellular DNA extracted from five G. bulloides specimens was subjected to 16S rRNA gene metabarcoding and, remarkably, 37–87 % of all 16S rRNA gene sequences recovered were assigned to operational taxonomic units (OTUs) from the picocyanobacterium Synechococcus. This finding was supported by TEM observations of intact Synechococcus cells in both the cytoplasm and vacuoles of G. bulloides. Their concentrations were up to 4 orders of magnitude greater inside the foraminifera than those reported for the California Current water column and approximately 5 % of the intracellular Synechococcus cells observed were undergoing cell division. This suggests that Synechococcus is an endobiont of G. bulloides type IId, which is the first report of a bacterial endobiont in the planktonic foraminifera. We consider the potential roles of Synechococcus and G. bulloides within the relationship and the need to determine how widespread the association is within the widely distributed G. bulloides morphospecies. The possible influence of Synechococcus respiration on G. bulloides shell geochemistry is also explored. }, number={4}, journal={Biogeosciences}, publisher={Copernicus GmbH}, author={Bird, Clare and Darling, Kate F. and Russell, Ann D. and Davis, Catherine V. and Fehrenbacher, Jennifer and Free, Andrew and Wyman, Michael and Ngwenya, Bryne T.}, year={2017}, month={Feb}, pages={901–920} } @article{fehrenbacher_russell_davis_gagnon_spero_cliff_zhu_martin_2017, title={Link between light-triggered Mg-banding and chamber formation in the planktic foraminifera Neogloboquadrina dutertrei}, volume={8}, ISSN={2041-1723}, url={http://dx.doi.org/10.1038/ncomms15441}, DOI={10.1038/ncomms15441}, abstractNote={Abstract}, number={1}, journal={Nature Communications}, publisher={Springer Science and Business Media LLC}, author={Fehrenbacher, Jennifer S. and Russell, Ann D. and Davis, Catherine V. and Gagnon, Alexander C. and Spero, Howard J. and Cliff, John B. and Zhu, Zihua and Martin, Pamela}, year={2017}, month={May}, pages={15441} } @article{davis_rivest_hill_gaylord_russell_sanford_2017, title={Ocean acidification compromises a planktic calcifier with implications for global carbon cycling}, volume={7}, ISSN={2045-2322}, url={http://dx.doi.org/10.1038/s41598-017-01530-9}, DOI={10.1038/s41598-017-01530-9}, abstractNote={Abstract}, number={1}, journal={Scientific Reports}, publisher={Springer Science and Business Media LLC}, author={Davis, Catherine V. and Rivest, Emily B. and Hill, Tessa M. and Gaylord, Brian and Russell, Ann D. and Sanford, Eric}, year={2017}, month={May} } @article{davis_fehrenbacher_hill_russell_spero_2017, title={Relationships Between Temperature, pH, and Crusting on Mg/Ca Ratios in Laboratory-GrownNeogloboquadrinaForaminifera}, volume={32}, ISSN={0883-8305}, url={http://dx.doi.org/10.1002/2017pa003111}, DOI={10.1002/2017pa003111}, abstractNote={Abstract}, number={11}, journal={Paleoceanography}, publisher={American Geophysical Union (AGU)}, author={Davis, Catherine V. and Fehrenbacher, Jennifer S. and Hill, Tessa M. and Russell, Ann D. and Spero, Howard J.}, year={2017}, month={Nov}, pages={1137–1152} } @article{davis_myhre_hill_2016, title={Benthic foraminiferal shell weight: Deglacial species-specific responses from the Santa Barbara Basin}, volume={124}, ISSN={0377-8398}, url={http://dx.doi.org/10.1016/j.marmicro.2016.02.002}, DOI={10.1016/j.marmicro.2016.02.002}, abstractNote={Here we present a record of size-normalized shell weight for four species of benthic foraminifera through a period of rapid environmental change during the most recent deglaciation (Santa Barbara Basin, CA). A strong Oxygen Minimum Zone (OMZ), the product of high surface productivity and poor ventilation, characterizes the eastern Pacific; this subsurface zone is mechanistically coupled with high concentrations of dissolved inorganic carbon. The OMZ migrated vertically during warming of the last deglaciation, leading to rapid shifts in the oxygenation and inorganic carbon system of the benthos. The size-normalized weight (SNW) of benthic foraminifers Uvigerina peregrina, Bolivina interjuncta, and Bolivina tumida reflects only the broad trends of the vertical migration of the OMZ, and inorganic carbon system, overshadowed by clear species-specific trends. The relative importance of OMZ migrations versus other environmental variables and optimal growth conditions differs across species of benthic foraminifera. In U. peregrina, SNW primarily peaks with foraminiferal density and increased abundance of that species, while B. interjuncta and B. tumida increase in SNW with a shrinking of the OMZ (and carbon maximum) in the late Holocene. Bolivina argentea shows no long-term trends in SNW potentially due to its ability to migrate through the sediment.

The close association between planktic foraminiferal assemblages and local hydrography make foraminifera invaluable proxies for environmental conditions. Modern foraminiferal seasonality is important for interpreting fossil distributions and shell geochemistry as paleoclimate proxies. Understanding this seasonality in an active upwelling area is also critical for anticipating which species may be vulnerable to future changes in upwelling intensity and ocean acidification. Two years (2012–2014) of plankton tows, along with conductivity–temperature–depth profiles and carbonate chemistry measurements taken along the north-central California shelf, offer new insights into the seasonal dynamics of planktic foraminifera in a seasonal coastal upwelling regime. This study finds an upwelling affinity for Neogloboquadrina pachyderma as well as a seasonal and upwelling associated alternation between dominance of N. pachyderma and Neogloboquadrina incompta, consistent with previous observations. Globigerina bulloides, however, shows a strong affinity for non-upwelled waters, in contrast to findings in Southern California where the species is often associated with upwelling.

Here we investigate OMZ expansion through the global-scale warming event of the most recent deglaciation (18-11 ka), an event with clear relevance to understanding modern anthropogenic climate change. Deglacial marine sediment records were compiled to quantify the vertical extent, intensity, surface area and volume impingements of hypoxic waters upon continental margins. By integrating sediment records (183-2,309 meters below sea level; mbsl) containing one or more geochemical, sedimentary or microfossil oxygenation proxies integrated with analyses of eustatic sea level rise, we reconstruct the timing, depth and intensity of seafloor hypoxia. The maximum vertical OMZ extent during the deglaciation was variable by region: Subarctic Pacific (~600-2,900 mbsl), California Current (~330-1,500 mbsl), Mexico Margin (~330-830 mbsl), and the Humboldt Current and Equatorial Pacific (~110-3,100 mbsl). The timing of OMZ expansion is regionally coherent but not globally synchronous. Subarctic Pacific and California Current continental margins exhibit tight correlation to the oscillations of Northern Hemisphere deglacial events (Termination IA, Bølling-Allerød, Younger Dryas and Termination IB). Southern regions (Mexico Margin and the Equatorial Pacific and Humboldt Current) exhibit hypoxia expansion prior to Termination IA (~14.7 ka), and no regional oxygenation oscillations.
