Species assemblage composition of marine microfossils offers the possibility to investigate ecological and climatological change on time scales inaccessible using conventional observations. Planktonic foraminifera - calcareous zooplankton - have an excellent fossil record and are used extensively in palaeoecology and palaeoceanography. During the Last Glacial Maximum (LGM; 19,000 - 23,000 years ago), the climate was in a radically different state.
View Article and Find Full Text PDFPlanktonic Foraminifera are unique paleo-environmental indicators through their excellent fossil record in ocean sediments. Their distribution and diversity are affected by different environmental factors including anthropogenically forced ocean and climate change. Until now, historical changes in their distribution have not been fully assessed at the global scale.

- The study aimed to determine how often patients who had major surgery experience nighttime respiratory issues post-surgery, which could affect their recovery.
- Eligible patients were monitored overnight for prolonged apnea events and other respiratory indicators using specialized equipment while receiving oxygen and pain management.
- Results showed that more than half of the patients experienced multiple apnea events, but these issues did not appear to be related to further complications in recovery, suggesting a need for further research.
