Paleoecological implications of radiolarian distribution and standing stocks versus accumulation rates in the Weddell Sea
In the Scotia and Weddell seas, polycystine radiolarians dwell chiefly at depths between 200 and 300 m, their vertical patterns being strongly associated with the higher temperatures characteristic of the Warm Deep Water. At scales of approximately 400 to 2000 km and ~30 days, radiolarian horizontal...
