“…In other Southern Ocean studies of benthic foraminiferal trends, Mackensen et al (1990Mackensen et al ( , 1992 and Mackensen (1992) have found that B. aculeata was most abundant during times of increased influx in organic carbon and the trends in VI8-222 are in agreement with their observations, as well as those by for cores off western Australia. Causes for such increases in influx of organic carbon include increased surface productivity associated with upwellings.…”

“…The distribution is cosmopolitan (Holbourn et al, 2013) and has previously been recorded on the Kerguelen Plateau, southern Indian Ocean, at ODP Sites 748 and 751 (Mackensen, 1992) and 736, 738 and 744 (Schroder-Adams, 1991). 1875 Bolivina reticulata Hantken: p. 65,pl.…”

“…This diversity is higher than previously documented in the Indian Ocean (e.g. Boersma, 1990;Nomura, 1991;Mackensen, 1992;Schroder-Adams, 1991). The 52 selected species described here are assigned to 33 different genera and are subdivided into four orders, 15 superfamilies, 20 families and 16 subfamilies.…”

“…Significant faunal changes (and species replacements) were noted in the middle Eocene, late-Eocene-early-Oligocene, middle Miocene and late Miocene. Mackensen (1992) quantitatively studied benthic foraminiferal assemblages from the lower Miocene through to upper Pleistocene interval from ODP Site 747 (Central Kerguelen Plateau) and Sites 748 and 751 (Southern Kerguelen Plateau). Gupta and Satapathy (2000) studied abyssal benthic foraminifera from 31 samples of the latest Miocene to Pleistocene from Deep Sea Drilling Project (DSDP) Site 236, north of the Mascarene Plateau.…”

Abstract. Deep-sea benthic foraminifera provide important markers of environmental conditions in the deep-ocean basins where their assemblage composition and test chemistry are influenced by ambient physical and chemical conditions in bottom-water masses. However, all foraminiferal studies must be underpinned by robust taxonomic approaches. Although many parts of the world's oceans have been examined, over a range of geological timescales, the Neogene benthic foraminifera from the southern Indian Ocean have only been recorded from a few isolated sites. In this study, we have examined 97 samples from Neogene sediments recovered from three ODP sites in the southern Indian Ocean (Sites 752, Broken Ridge; 1139, Kerguelan Plateau; 1168, west Tasmania). These data cover a range of palaeolatitudes and water depths during the Miocene. More than 200 species of benthic foraminifera were recorded at each site and, despite their geographic and bathymetric separation, the most abundant taxa were similar at all three sites. Many of these species range from late Oligocene to early Pliocene demonstrating relatively little faunal turnover of the most abundant taxa during the key palaeoclimatic shifts of the Miocene. We illustrate and document the occurrence of the 52 most abundant species (i.e. those with >1 % abundance) encountered across the three study sites.
