| Summary: | The International Ocean Discovery Program (IODP) and its predecessors have made a major contribution to the understanding of planktonic foraminifera evolutionary history through the recovery of expanded sedimentary successions, rich in microfossils. Ocean drilling cores allows the examination of how planktonic foraminifera responded through time, document their stratigraphic range and their reaction to climatic perturbations. |
