This just in. Please note, Palaeontologische Zeitschrift is a non-profit publisher. --------- Dear all, I would like to announce a new volume on marine plankton (dinoflagellates 2x, calcispheres 2x,coccoliths 2x, planktonic foraminifera 2x, bolboforms 1x, radiolarian 1x) published by the Palaeontologische Zeitschrift. Joerg Mutterlose Special issue Marine plankton - a proxy for the understanding of Recent and fossil environments edited by Jörg Mutterlose Ruhr-Universität Bochum, Germany 200 pages, numerous figures and tables 29,7 x 21 cm, paperback. ISSN 0031-0220, € 30.– The joint meeting of thirteen German geoscientific associations in Würzburg in 2002 (GEO 2002) saw among various symposia the session “Marines Plankton als Umweltindikator für rezente und fossile Lebensräume” (Marine plankton – a proxy for the understanding of recent and fossil environments). This meeting briefly summarised the state of art in fossil microplankton research. It focussed on micropalaeontologically relevant groups, including organic-walled dinoflagellate cysts, calcispheres, calcareous nannofossils and radiolarians. From this meeting an idea grew to present the current knowledge on marine plankton to a broader German-speaking community. Currently we see a major communication gap between the traditional Geoscience scene and marine-based research groups in Germany. This volume aims at bridging this gap. Its objective is to inform readers about recent trends and scientific issues in the rapidly evolving field of marine plankton research, in particular from a German perspective.
