Morphological evolution of menardiform globorotalids at Western Pacific Warm Pool ODP Hole 806C (Ontong-Java Plateau) Evolution morphologique du groupe de Globorotalia menardii au Site ODP 806C (Ontong-Java Plateau, Pacifique tropical occidental)
The morphological evolution was investigated in the tropical Neogene planktonic foraminiferal lineage Globorotalia menardii, G. limbata and G. multicamerata during the past 8 million years at ODP Hole 806C (Ontong-Java Plateau, western equatorial Pacific). 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.
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.
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 AMOR robot for imaging and microfossil orientation. Of those, 6080 specimens comprise the G. menardii–limbata-multicamerata plexus. Special attention was given to trends of spiral height (δX) versus axial length (δY) in keel view, for which bivariate contour- and volume-density diagrams were constructed to visualize speciation and evolutionary trends.
The investigation at Hole 806C showed, that G. menardii evolved in a more gradual manner than in the Atlantic. Contour plots of δX versus δY reveal modest bimodality between 3.18 Ma – 2.55 Ma with a dominant branch consisting of smaller G. menardii (δX<∼300 μm) persisting until the Late Quaternary, and a less dominant branch of larger G. menardii (δX>∼300 μm) until 2.63 Ma. There is evidence for cladogenesis – splitting with subsequent morphological divergence in the Late Pliocene G. menardii-limbata-multicamerata lineage, and which may be linked to changes in the thermocline. Due to the general scarcity of G. multicamerata at Site 806, the divergence was less clearly expressed than originally expected. Up-section, bimodality vanished but G. menardii populations shifted towards extra large shells between 2.19-1.95 Ma.
The morphological evolution of Pacific menardiform globorotalids contrasts the one observed in the Atlantic. This inter-oceanic asymmetry may indicate possible long-distance dispersal of G. menardii, at least during intermittent phases. For plankton biostratigraphy this implies, that correlating events represent more often than previously thought large scale environmental perturbations with local morphological ecophenotypic adaptations and nuances.
期刊介绍:
La Revue de micropaléontologie publie 4 fois par an des articles de intérêt international, consacrés à tous les aspects de la micropaléontologie. Les textes, en anglais ou en français, sont des articles originaux, des résultats de recherche, des synthèses et mises au point, des comptes rendus de réunions scientifiques et des analyses de ouvrages. La revue se veut résolument ouverte à tous les aspects de la micropaléontologie en accueillant des travaux traitant de la systématique des microfossiles (et de leurs équivalents actuels), des bactéries aux microrestes de vertébrés, et de toutes leurs applications en sciences biologiques et géologiques.
