Lineage

Samples for Scanning Electron Microscopy (SEM) analysis were filtered on polycarbonate filters (0.8 micrometre pore-size), dried in a drying cabinet at 50 degrees celsius for 24 h, then sputter-coated with gold-palladium. Scanning electron micrographs were produced with both Jeol JSM-6610LV (Oxford Instruments) and Jeol JSM-7001F (Oxford Instruments) at Plymouth Electron Microscopy Centre. The following categories were used to describe coccolith morphology. 1) C. braarudii: normal, malformation type R, minor malformation, major malformation, rhomb-like malformation, rhomb malformation. An average of ~350 coccoliths was analysed per sample.
