| Outline of Final Research Achievements |
We have studied distribution, seasonal change, morphology of coccoliths, molecular-phylogenetic position, and fossil record of Florisphaera profunda and Gladiolithus flabellatus that dominate coccolithophore assemblage of lower photic-zone in the tropical-transitional oceans. Floristic studies showed that F. profunda increase in abundance in late summer in the NW Pacific, and in late autumn in the Sea of Japan. Morphological studies revealed that coccoliths of F. profunda are hetero-coccolith. Molecular phylogenetic studies confirmed that F. profunda and G. flabellatus are included in the hetero-coccoliths bearing coccolithophore clade. Biostratigraphic studies showed that F. profunda occur from the Early Miocene.
