The morphotypes of Neogloboquadrina pachyderma : Isotopic signature and distribution patterns in the Canadian Arctic Archipelago and adjacent regions
International audience Neogloboquadrina pachyderma represents a key planktonic foraminifera species in the boreal Atlantic and has been extensively used as a paleoceanographic tool in polar to subpolar environments. The species shows an intraspecific morphological variability, displaying at least 5...

International audience Neogloboquadrina pachyderma represents a key planktonic foraminifera species in the boreal Atlantic and has been extensively used as a paleoceanographic tool in polar to subpolar environments. The species shows an intraspecific morphological variability, displaying at least 5 different morphotypes previously documented from northern and southern oceans. The present work focuses on the distribution of these morphotypes in modern surface sediment samples from the Canadian Arctic Archipelago (CAA). Our results, obtained for the first time for this area, show the prevalence of morphotypes 1, 2 and 3 (abundance on average 19%, 48% and 22%, respectively). Two types of assemblages were observed in the inner and outer parts of the Northwest Passages on the basis of the abundance and diversity of morphotypes.
