Results suggest distinctive morphologies in dextral and sinistral forms beside coiling arrangement before the L5, with morphological disparity drastically decreasing during the L5. Subsequently, morphological variation and disparity increased again during and after the L5 event, leading to distinct Left and Right morphotypes compared to prior forms.

While global proxy records indicate that the Last Interglacial (MIS 5, specifically MIS 5e) was warmer than the present Holocene (MIS 1), quantitative terrestrial evidence from temperature-sensitive proxies in East Asia remains scarce. In this study we present a new high-resolution palynological record from core LYK-1 in the western South Yellow Sea (SYS), spanning from MIS 5 to the present, to quantitatively assess the relative warmth of these two interglacials. We utilize the pollen of <em>Liquidambar</em>, a thermophilous genus with stringent climatic requirements, as a key temperature proxy. By integrating pollen data with robust lithological, foraminiferal, and chronological controls, we first disentangle the influences of sea-level change and depositional environment on the pollen assemblages to isolate the climatic signal. By further comparison with the surrounding records, the results reveal a striking contrast: <em>Liquidambar</em> pollen is significantly more abundant during MIS 5 than MIS 1. This indicates that the MIS 5e climate along the SYS coast was substantially warmer and more humid than the Holocene, allowing for a notable northward expansion of subtropical flora. The herbaceous pollen dominance throughout the core is interpreted as a signature of fluvial transport dynamics in this inner-shelf setting rather than a purely open landscape. This well-dated record provides robust terrestrial evidence for a significantly warmer MIS 5 in East Asia, underscoring the region's sensitivity to interglacial intensity and offering a valuable paleo-analogue for understanding future warming scenarios.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":49881,"journal":{"name":"Marine Micropaleontology","volume":"204 ","pages":"Article 102577"},"PeriodicalIF":1.6,"publicationDate":"2026-05-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"147849502","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"地球科学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

This first basin-wide study of dinoflagellate cysts in deep-sea sediment traps reassesses the basic assumptions of paleoceanographic proxies: that dinoflagellate cysts in bottom sediments represent primary environmental signals from overlying surface waters carried by cysts sinking without significant lateral transport. We studied 126 samples collected at 12–30 day intervals over one year from traps (approximately 400 m above bottom) at 9 stations. We recorded 27 cyst taxa quantitatively (cyst fluxes) and as assemblages calculated from the fluxes. Correspondence analysis was used to compare cyst assemblages from traps with those in recent bottom sediments used to create proxies. The generally high correlation shown between fluxes of cysts and lithogenic particles suggests common transport mechanisms for both. We show three different sources of cysts and environmental signals: primary, from oceanic surface waters; secondary, transported in from shallow adjoining waters and ocean currents; and tertiary, older cysts resuspended from shelves. We found poor correspondence between cysts in traps and those in bottom sediments mainly due to the dominance of <em>O. centrocarpum</em> in the sediments, but correspondence analysis identified the main current regimes in both. We propose that <em>O. centrocarpum</em> here and elsewhere in oceanic sediments reflects an opportunistic response to mixing of oceanic/shelf waters.

High-resolution planktic zonations (Maastrichtian CF2–CF1; Paleocene P1c–P4c) reveal variable temporal hiatuses at the Cretaceous/Paleogene (K/Pg) boundary, with an abrupt planktic foraminifera extinction, a low benthic foraminiferal extinction (∼9%), and drops in TFN, HOFS%, and paleodepth, followed by increased EBFOI, reflecting improved bottom water oxygenation in the Danian. The Latest Danian Event (LDE) is recorded only in South Wadi El-Maheer, characterized by brown nodular calcareous shale, high HOFS%, low EBFOI, a paleodepth drawdown, and the invasion of the <em>Neoeponides duwi</em> assemblage. The Danian/Selandian (D/S) boundary exhibits a pronounced sea-level fall, mirroring the global signal. Its placement varies between both sections due to differences in hiatus magnitude, which is greater in Wadi Ragela, as indicated by an abrupt planktic foraminiferal assemblage shift and the reduced thickness of P3a and P3b. The sequence stratigraphic analysis revealed seven third-order depositional sequences in Wadi Ragela and five in South Wadi El-Maheer. The proposed sequence stratigraphic framework confirms that the study area was influenced by eustatic changes and regional tectonic activities.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":49881,"journal":{"name":"Marine Micropaleontology","volume":"203 ","pages":"Article 102555"},"PeriodicalIF":1.6,"publicationDate":"2026-03-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"147399403","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"地球科学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
