The polar foraminifera Neogloboquadrina pachyderma (sinistral) dominates assemblages from the high latitude Southern Ocean, which plays a key role in determining past climate due to the tight linkage between Antarctic temperature and atmospheric CO(2). Here, we use N. pachyderma (s.) harvested from...
