Radiolarian census counts (in relative abundance) and environmental data from 801 core-tops distributed across the Pacific Ocean (mmn8).

Radiolarians are a very diverse microzooplanktonic group, often distributed in regionally restricted assemblages and responding to specific environmental factors. These...

Relative abundance: D = dominant, A = abundant, C = common, F = few, R = rare, T = trace, P = present (numerical values are abundance in percent)

Ages are from the age model of Bertrand et al. (2002, doi:10.1016/S0025-3227(01)00216-X) based on the benthic oxygen-isotope record measured on Cibicidoides wuellerstorfi

Cores from the 11 sites drilled during Leg 180 showed radiolarian assemblages that appear only in the Quaternary sediments. The most diverse and well-preserved assemblages were...
