Samples and Methods: Six marine sediment samples were used on total in my master thesis, covering different world oceans, to obtain as many as possible recent planktonic foraminiferal species for analysing their morphological traits. Sample origin of the samples 1: Caribbean, 2: North Atlantic, 3: Arabian-Sea, 4: South-China-Sea, 5: Norwegian-Sea and 6: North Pacific (for available metadata see the data table). Sample 1, 2 and 5 were core-top samples and were obtained from the collection of the Eberhard Karls University of Tübingen, they were obtained already processed as a resdiue >63 µm. Sample 6 another core-top sample was just used to obtain three specimen of Globoquadrina conglomerata as this species was missing in the other samples. Sample 3 and 4 (sediment-trap samples) were provided by Dr. Hartmut Schulz (University of Tübingen) and were processed with standard micropaleontological techniques during my master thesis. Sample 1, 2 and 6 are old samples from the micropalaeontological collection of ... : Supplement to: Baranowski, Ulrike Katharina (2013): Phylogenetic significance of test morphology and ultrastructure in recent planktonic Foraminifera inferred from cladistic analyses.
