Paleogene planktonic foraminifera of DSDP Hole 29-277

Stratigraphy of Paleogene deposits from high latitudes of the Pacific region (Koryak Highland, Kamchatka Peninsula, Karaginsky Island - in the northern hemisphere, Australian-Antarctic region - in the southern hemisphere) on planktonic foraminifera are under consideration in the book. Correlation with Paleogene of the warm Pacific belt is given. On the basis of geographic and stratigraphic distributions of planktonic foraminifera climatic zonation and the Paleogene climatic curve are analyzed. Description and photos of 115 species and varieties of planktonic foraminifera are given in the palaeontological part of the book.

MARECHIARA-mesozooplankton long-term time-series at the fixed coastal station in the Gulf of Naples: abundance and biomass, data for the years 1984-2006

The MARECHIARA-mesozooplankton dataset contains mesozooplankton data collected in the ongoing time-series at Sation MC (40°48.5' N, 14°15' E) in the Gulf of Naples. This dataset spans over the period 1984-2006 and contains data of mesozooplankton abundance and species composition as well as biomass (as dry weight). Mesozooplankton was regularly sampled in 1984-1990 and 1995-2006, only a few samples were collected in 1991-1992 and no samples in 1993-1994. During the first period of the series sampling frequency was fortnightly, and weekly since 1995.
