This research is an extension of several similar studies since 2007 from the Caribbean Sea, the tropical Atlantic and the Eastern Equatorial Pacific. The goal is to find empirical and quantitative confirmation for morphological speciation – splitting or phyletic gradualism or accelerated evolution – in planktonic foraminifera with the above lineage as model objects. The present study from ODP Hole 806C serves as a test to discriminate between these evolutionary scenarios.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;In the western equatorial Pacific warm and stable environments prevailed back to Pliocene times, and potential influences of Northern Hemisphere Glaciation are thought to bear less severely on shell size evolution than in the Atlantic Ocean. A slow and gradual pattern of shell size increase is therefore expected in the western tropical Pacific, in contrast to the intermittent rapid menardiform shell size increase during periods of intensified formation of warm water eddies in the southern to tropical Atlantic.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;For this study a total of 11,101 specimens from 37 stratigraphic levels extending over the past 8 million years were morphometrically investigated thanks to the &lt;em&gt;AMOR&lt;/em&gt; robot for imaging and microfossil orientation.

Contour plots of δX versus δY reveal modest bimodality between 3.18 Ma – 2.55 Ma with a dominant branch consisting of smaller &lt;em&gt;G. menardii&lt;/em&gt; (δX&lt;∼300 μm) persisting until the Late Quaternary, and a less dominant branch of larger &lt;em&gt;G. menardii&lt;/em&gt; (δX&gt;∼300 μm) until 2.63 Ma.
