“…Orbulina universa has a broad temperature and salinity tolerance (9-30 C, 23e46 psu; Be et al, 1973;Bijma et al, 1990), and the depth habitat of this species spans the photic zone (Be, 1977;Fairbanks et al, 1982). Therefore, a suite of O. universa shells from a single core interval has the potential to record a wide range of contemporaneous environmental conditions throughout the upper water column.…”

“…A total of 6% of individual shells analyzed were culled from the full dataset (41 out of 668 specimens). Sample data rejection was based on a number of criteria ( Fig or 3) Ba/Ca ratios >5 mmol mol À1 , which yield calculated salinity values < 27 psu that are outside the survival tolerance for O. universa (Bijma et al, 1990). After isolating the portion of each depth profile that reflects the biogenic signal ( Fig.…”

a b s t r a c tWe present a new method that quantifies the oxygen isotope geochemistry of Laurentide ice-sheet (LIS) meltwater across the last deglaciation, and reconstruct decadal-scale variations in the d 18 O of LIS meltwater entering the Gulf of Mexico between~18 and 11 ka. We employ a technique that combines laser ablation ICP-MS (LA-ICP-MS) and oxygen isotope analyses on individual shells of the planktic values of Mississippi River discharge from discrete core intervals range from À22‰ to À38‰ VSMOW. These values suggest a dynamic melting history of different parts of the LIS, with potential contributions to Mississippi River outflow from both the low-elevation, southern margin of the LIS and high-elevation, high-latitude domes in the LIS interior that were transported to the ablation zone. Prior to~15.5 ka, the d 18 O water value of the Mississippi River was similar to that of regional precipitation or low-latitude LIS meltwater, but the Ba concentration in the Mississippi basin was affected by changes in weathering within the watershed, complicating Ba-salinity relationships in the Gulf of Mexico. After 13 ka, our data suggest Mississippi River outflow did not influence surface salinity above our Gulf of Mexico Orca Basin core site. Rather, we hypothesize that open ocean conditions prevailed as sea level rose and the paleoshoreline at the southern edge of North America retreated northward.

“…Specimens were fed every third day with a 1-day-old nauplius of Artemina salina, starting on the day of collection. For these experiments, we used values of physical and chemical parameters within the tolerance ranges of G. sacculifer (Bijma et al, 1990) and followed the procedures outlined in Bijma et al (1990) in order to minimize stressful conditions that could potentially affect foraminiferal trace element incorporation.…”

“…In this context, it is interesting to note that genetic-species of planktonic foraminifera are often found in distinct environments (i.e., different biomes or different depth habitats) (Huber et al, 1997;de Vargas et al, 2001;Darling & Wade, 2008;Morard et al, 2009;Quillévéré et al, 2011;Morard et al, 2013;Morard et al, 2016). While evidence for high heritability of wall thickness and porosity is lacking, both 325 porosity and wall thickness have been observed to vary with environmental conditions in culture and across environments gradients (this study; Colombo & Cita, 1980;Caron, 1987a-b;Bijma et al, 1990;Lea et al, 1999;Spero et al, 1997;Russell et al, 2004;Lombard et al, 2009;Kuroyanagi et al, 2013;Spero et al, 2015;Henehan et al, 2017). This raises the interesting possibility that some of the morphological differences between different genetic species are driven primarily by differences in the environment in which they occur, rather than by heritable genetic differences.…”

“…Previous work on the porosity of planktonic foraminifera identified a number of environmental and biological correlates which 255 often co-vary in time and space (Bé, 1968;Bé et al, 1976;Hottinger & Dreher, 1974;Berthold, 1978;Leutenegger & Hansen, 1979;Bé et al, 1980;Caron, 1987a,b;Hemleben et al, 2012;Bijma, et al, 1990;Moodley & Hess, 1992;Gupta & MachainCastillo, 1992;Fisher, et al, 2003;Glock et al, 2011;Kuroyanagi et al, 2013). Our study builds on existing work by simultaneously investigating the three major types of drivers that may account for porosity: biology, environment, and evolutionary history.…”

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 pore size, density, and porosity have been 20 variously attributed to environmental, biological, and taxonomic drivers, complicating such an interpretation. Here we examine the environmental, biological, and evolutionary determinants of porosity 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 size and habitat temperature, two 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 25 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 30 record.
