Paper Idea: Radiolarian Feeding Strategies through Time

ø

It’s an idea I had a few years ago, when I first read the paper on correlations between radiolarian skeletal morphology and feeding ecology, but it occurred to me again today: Matsuoka identifies four feeding strategies associated with four basic morphotypes of radiolarians. If I were to examine the relative abundance of each of those four morphotypes through time, I’d be able to say something about how radiolarian feeding ecology changed through time. Cool? Maybe. It’s an idea.
