Individual to Community-Level Faunal Responses to Environmental Change from a Marine Fossil Record of Early Miocene Global Warming
Description: To extract biotic responses and their environmental drivers from past intervals of long-term climate change, fossil records are needed that (a) were deposited across past climate change events, (b) can be analyzed at high enough resolution to evaluate trends in regional faunal and environmental changes, and (c) have fossils well enough preserved for geochemical and growth line analyses. This study examples the utility of fossil records that fit these criteria. [Source: PLoS ONE]
