Dosztály, L. 1991. Triassic <strong>radiolaria</strong>ns from the Balaton<br />
upland. M. All. Földtani Intézet évi jelentése, 333-355. (in<br />
Hungarian)<br />
The Triassic formations in the Balaton Upland contain<br />
<strong>radiolaria</strong>ns in several areas and beds (Fig. 1). The richest faunas<br />
are dated as Late Anisian, Ladinian or Early Carnian. In the area<br />
concerned a large amount of volcanic material was introduced into<br />
the sea during the Middle Triassic. This caused the dissolved silica<br />
content of sea water to have increased offering favourable<br />
conditions for the propagation of <strong>radiolaria</strong>ns. The favourable living<br />
conditions resulted, from time to time, in a sudden increase in the<br />
number of <strong>radiolaria</strong>n taxa. Normally, a two-third of the species was<br />
changed during the span of time represented by a substage. In the<br />
region the sedimentation took place in a relatively shallow (not<br />
deeper than 200 metres) environment. Radiolarian-bearing deposits<br />
had largely been mingled with relatively large amounts of carbonate<br />
and volcanic materials. This is the main influencing factor of having<br />
found in general, only a few beds in which rich and well-preserved<br />
fauna can be encountered. The second reason is represented by<br />
dispersal silica that has prevented <strong>radiolaria</strong>ns from being dissolved<br />
out from the rocks. For each locality, a detailed description will be<br />
given only for the beds containing the richest fauna.<br />
New taxa: Pterospongus aquila n. sp.; Baumgartneria dumitricae<br />

Dumitrica, P. 1991a. Cenozoic Pyloniacea (Radiolaria)<br />
with a five-gated microsphere. Rev. Micropaléont., 34/1, 35-<br />
56.<br />
A new type of microsphere, characterized by the presence of<br />
five gates and derived from hypothetical prism is described. It is<br />
considered as representing the fifth fundamental type of<br />
pyloniacean microsphere. Three variants of such a microsphere<br />
characterizing three genera, are illustrated and described in detail,<br />
and their structural unity is emphasized. Two new genera<br />
(Pentapylonium and Trimanicula) and three new species<br />
(Pentapylonium implicatum ,Trimanicula centrospina and T.<br />
penultima) are described. The mode of growth of their skeleton,<br />
which is of pyloniacean type, is analysed in detail.<br />

fam. (Radiolaria) from the eastern Carpathians (Romania) and<br />

278.<br />
The new family Tripedurnulidae. with 4 genera (of which 3 are<br />
new) and 14 species (of which 13 are new), is described from<br />
Pelsonian limestones of the Eastern Carpathians (Romania) and<br />
upper Illyrian-Fassanian limestones of the Vicentinian Alps (Italy)<br />
and Eastern Carpathians (Romania). Terminology and orientation of<br />
nassellarian initial skeleton are discussed, and revised terminology<br />
is proposed.<br />

<strong>radiolaria</strong> of two Upper Jurassic species previously described<br />
as Foraminifera: systematic consequences. C.R. Acad. Sci.<br />
(Paris), Sér. II, 312, 553-558.<br />
Two species described in 1867 by Karrer as foraminifera<br />
(Lagena dianae Karrer and Orbulina neojurensis Karrer) from the<br />
Oxfordian cherty limestones near Vienna (Austria) are in all<br />
probability Radiolaria. This fact has both systematical and historical<br />
consequences: (a) Lagena dianae becomes a senior synonym of<br />
Mirifusus mediodilatatus (Rüst), a common and characteristic<br />
species of the Upper Jurassic, and has priority over this name and<br />
over all the other synonyms of this species, (b) F. Karrer and not<br />
Zittel should be considered as the first who described pre-Tertiary<br />
<strong>radiolaria</strong>ns.<br />

Food Webs, 5/2, 189-204.<br />
Faecal production by protists and particularly by flagellates has<br />
been more or less neglected so far in ecosystem research. Faeces<br />
production is documented here for photosynthetic and obligate<br />
heterotrophic dinoflagellates and <strong>radiolaria</strong>ns. Food uptake is also<br />
known from other phototrophic and heterotrophic small flagellates<br />
which are quite abundant in aquatic environments. Potential faeces<br />
- 62 -<br />
production of these flagellates are calculated. The role these<br />
particles may play in the environment is discussed.<br />

1991. The significance of Upper Jurassic <strong>radiolaria</strong>ns in high<br />
pressure metamorphic rocks of SW Japan. J. Southeast Asian<br />
Earth Sc., 6/2, 131-136.<br />
Upper Jurassic <strong>radiolaria</strong>n remains have been discovered for<br />
the first time in pelitic rocks from the domain affected by<br />
Sanbagawa metamorphism, in Eastern Shikoku. As pod similar<br />
lithological successions and structures are observed from E. Kyushu<br />
to the Kanto Mountains, over a 800 km length, the age<br />
determination from Eastern Shikoku is significant for the whole belt.<br />
Firstly the available biostratigraphic data for the metamorphic<br />
domain are reviewed and the depositional age of the upper part of<br />
the metamorphic domain is determined. Secondly, stratigraphic<br />
evidence is added to the structural evidence for the thrusting of a<br />
middle Jurassic nappe (the Superficial nappe) upon the metamorphic<br />
domain.<br />

In southeastern Turkey, the distal margin of the Arabian<br />
platform is overthrust by the Hezan allochthonous units consisting<br />
of Liassic sediments of inner carbonate platform origin and of thin<br />
Bathonian to Maastrichtian deep-water deposits. The pelagic<br />
sequence is interrupted by numerous hiatuses and punctuated by<br />
intercalated turbidites. These stable margin units are overthrust by<br />
ophiolites. Triassic tholeiitic pillow lavas of MORB type discovered<br />
for the first time in southeastern Turkey, and by Triassic to<br />
Hauterivian radiolarites belonging to the Koçali Unit. These<br />
radiolarites are derived from a Mesozoic through bordered to the<br />
south by the Arabian platform. The Koçali Unit documents the<br />
longevity of radiolarite deposition in this art of the Tethys.<br />
Garrison, D.L. 1991. An overview of the abundance and<br />
role of protozooplankton in Antarctic waters. J. Marine<br />
Syst., 2, 317-331.<br />
The classic view of the Antarctic pelagic system has suggested<br />
that food web dynamics are dominated by the diatom-krill food web<br />
link. Recent observations, however, have indicated that this is an<br />
oversimplification and that the antarctic food web has a complexity<br />
similar to that found in lower latitude systems. More specifically,<br />
small particulate feeding protozoans appear to have a much greater<br />
importance than was previously assumed.<br />
Only a few studies have been sufficiently extensive to<br />
characterize the Antarctic pelagic protozoan assemblage. These<br />
indicate that heterotrophic flagellates (dinoflagellates and other<br />
heterotrophic nannoplankton and ciliates (mostly non-loricate<br />
oligotrichs) dominate the protozooplankton assemblages in surface<br />
waters. The combined biomass of protozooplankton has been<br />
reported to comprise from c 7 to > 75% of the total nanno- and<br />
microplankton biomass depending on season and location.<br />
Protozoans are also found in sea ice communities where their<br />
abundances exceed those typically found in the plankton. Several<br />
prolozoan species DCCUpy bolh ice and water habitals, suggesting<br />
Ihal seasonally melling sea ice may be Ihe source of ice-edge<br />
prolozooplankton assemblages.<br />
The feeding rates of protozooplankton in Antarctic waters are<br />
poorly documented. Consumption estimates on clearance rates and<br />
some preliminary grazing experiments, however, indicate that the<br />
protozooplankton should be capable of utilizing a significant<br />
proportion of the daily primary and bacterioplankton production.<br />
Protozoans may contribute to vertical flux, but present evidence<br />
suggests that their contribution will be lower than from other<br />
sources.<br />

1991. Plankton assemblage in the ice edge zone of the<br />
Weddell Sea during the austral winter. J. Marine Syst., 2,<br />
123-130.<br />
Plankton studies in Antarctic waters have emphasized the<br />
importance of diatoms. The species composition, abundances and<br />
contribution to biomass of the other planktonic groups are still<br />
poorly documented. This is particularly true for the heterotrophic<br />
members of the nano- and microplankton assemblage. As part of the<br />
Antarctic Marine Ecosystem Research in the Ice age Zone (AMERIEZ)<br />
program, we sampled nano- and microplankton across the ice edge<br />
zone during the austral winter. A variety of microscopical techniques
