Taxonomy

Citation: Trilobatus sacculifer (Brady, 1877)
Rank: species
Basionym: Globigerina sacculifera
Synonyms:
Variants: Molecular genetic data indicates that these morphotypes are conspecific (according to André et al. 2013, Brummer & Kucera 2022)
Taxonomic discussion:

In Kennett & Srinivasan (1983) Gs. trilobus, Gs. immaturus and Gs. quadrilobatus were primarily distinguished from Gs. sacculifer by absence of the elongate sac-like final chamber. Gs. quadrilobatus was distinguished from Gs. immaturus by having a high aperture and a lower rate of chamber expansion. Gs. trilobus has only 3 chambers in the final whorl. These four morphotypes all occur from the Early Miocene to the present day (e.g. Kennett & Srinivasan 1983) and they have been shown to be conspecific in the modern plankton (André et al. 2013). They are, however, used by palaeontologists including Spezzaferri et al. (2018) since they have different stratigraphic ranges. [editor's comment - JRY 2018]

Poole & Wade (2019) provide extensive documentation of morphological variation within this group.

Catalog entries: Globigerina sacculifera, Globigerinoides suleki, Globigerina bulloides recumbens

Distinguishing features:
Parent taxon (Trilobatus): Supplementary apertures and cancellate wall.
This taxon: Low trochospiral, chambers spherical except final one which is sac-like on mature specimens

NB These concise distinguishing features statements are used in the tables of daughter-taxa to act as quick summaries of the differences between e.g. species of one genus.
They are being edited as the site is developed and comments on them are especially welcome.

Biogeography and Palaeobiology


Geographic distribution: Low latitudes [Aze et al. 2011, based on Kennett & Srinivasan (1983)]

In modern oceans an abundant, warm water, species [SCOR WG138]


Isotope paleobiology: Aze et al. 2011 ecogroup 1 - Open ocean mixed-layer tropical/subtropical, with symbionts. Based on very heavy ∂13C and relatively light ∂18O Cited sources (Aze et al. 2011 appendix S3): Keller (1985); D. R. M. Stewart unpublished data

Phylogenetic relations: Molecular Genotypes recognised (data from PFR2 database, June 2017. References: André et al. 2013 ; Darling et al. 1997; Ujiié & Lipps 2009; Seears et al. 2012). The species shows remarkably low genetic differentiation in comparison to most other common planktonic foraminifera and what differentiation there is shows no relation to test morphology (André et al. 2013).

Most likely ancestor: Trilobatus subsacculifer - at confidence level 3 (out of 5). Data source: Spezzaferri et al. 2018.
Likely descendants: Globigerinoidesella fistulosa; plot with descendants

Biostratigraphic distribution

Geological Range:
Last occurrence (top): Extant. Data source: present in the plankton (SCOR WG138)
First occurrence (base): within N6 zone (17.54-17.59Ma, base in Burdigalian stage). Data source: Kennett & Srinivasan 1983 - this is range excluding triloba as a synonym
