Stable isotopes in benthic foraminifera: seasonal variation in large tropical species.
The shells of large benthic foraminifera contain a record of seasonal temperature ranges and life history stages. Marginopora vertebralis and Cyclorbiculina compressa show distinct differences in life history, growth rate history, and life-span, as reflected in stable isotope patterns within their shells.
