Operational taxonomy and (paleo-)autecology of round, brown, spiny dinoflagellate cysts from the Quaternary of high northern latitudes

Regional seesaw between the North Atlantic and Nordic Seas during the last glacial abrupt climate events

“…This atypical pattern is robustly observed in all the three Norwegian Sea sequences, despite distinct physiographical contexts, and strongly expressed in the 63 • N cores. At this latitude, SST is systematically anti-correlated against Greenland and North Atlantic temperatures (Table 3), and shows large positive mean annual anomalies in GS compared to GI from +1.7 • C (MD95-2009) to +3.7 • C (MD99-2285) Rochon et al, 1999;Radi et al, 2013;Heikkilä et al, 2014Heikkilä et al, , 2016. Previous palaeoclimatic studies (e.g.…”

As dinoflagellates are mostly restricted to the uppermost 50 m water depth (Sarjeant, 1974), they are assumed to directly reflect sea-surface conditions (see Sect.…”

Impact of industrial pollution on recent dinoflagellate cysts in Izmir Bay (Eastern Aegean)

“…Quantitative data were reported on both living and empty as cyst g À1 dws. The cyst nomenclature conforms to Wall and Dale (1968), Dale (1983), Matsuoka and Fukuyo (2000), Matsuoka et al (2004Matsuoka et al ( , 2009, Rochon et al (1999Rochon et al ( , 2009, and Radi et al (2013).…”

Optical thermal maturity parameters and organic geochemical alteration at low grade diagenesis to anchimetamorphism: A review

“…These cysts have been informally described as "round brown spiny cysts" (Radi et al, 2013) and this group should be excluded in maturity and provenance studies (e.g. when in situ and reworked material has to be distinguished .…”
