The sensitivity to temperature of Mg/Ca ratios in the shallow-infaunal benthic foraminifera Uvigerina spp. has been assessed. Core-top calibrations over ~1-20 °C show a range in sensitivity of 0.065-0.084 mmol/mol/°C but few data are available spanning the temperature range anticipated in deep-sea r...
