| Description: |
We investigated the deep-sea fossil record of benthic ostracodes during periods of rapid climate and oceanographic change
over the past 20,000 years in a core from intermediate depth in the northwestern Atlantic. Results show that deep-sea
benthic community "collapses" occur with faunal turnover of up to 50% during major climatically driven oceanographic
changes. [Source: Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences of the United States of America]
