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
