Tropical regions are a major source of heat to mid- and high-latitudes. The Atlantic Ocean-Atmosphere system is unique as it is the only system that currently transports heat across the equator. Therefore, accomplishing accurate global climate reconstructions, documentation and implementation of Atlantic climates in large-scale climate models is essential. This, however, has been hampered…
Most of paleoclimatic interpretations are based on an artificial concept of specie, the morphospecies; they were classified basically on morphologic characteristics. Recently lots of species havd their genetic code described and it is recongnized that the classical morphospecies used nowadays are in fact composed by cryptic species and some of them display morphological intraspecific vari…
The species from Globorotalia menardii plex (Globorotalia menardii menardii; G. menardii flexuosa, G. menardii tumida e G. menardii fimbriata) are one of the principal indicators of glacial and interglacial boundaries through the Atlantic Ocean's Quaternary. The ecological affinity of these species agrees with the transition between these periods, being present during interglacials and ra…

The present project aims to promote the dissemination of Oceanography at local and national levels, through the propagation of the activities of the 'Laboratório de Paleoceanografia do Atlântico Sul' (LAPAS/IO/USP), using strategies of communication that increase the public interest on scientific knowledge, spreading themes ranging from the study of the marine environment to understanding…
Studies related to climate change have received great attention due to global warming caused by the increase in CO2 concentrations resulting mainly from anthropogenic action. However, impacts on ecological systems pre-date the oldest scientific observations and understanding modern extinctions requires additional data sources that extend further back in time. Palaeoecological records, whi…
A paleoenvironmental reconstruction must pass through numerous steps that integrated will provide the researcher crucial information for the development of a cohesive paleoenvironmental model. Some of these steps involve acquiring data from empirical experiments using some proxies. Oxygen Isotope Signal is the most used proxy applied on paleoceanographic studies due to its easiness to be …
Recently, several molecular studies in planktic foraminifera demonstrated that morphospecies recognised nowadays are in fact composed of two or more species, cryptic species. This investigations have been developed on recent specimens collected on the water column with presence of biological material for performing such studies. Nevertheless, in sediment samples only the shells of the in…
