Title: Link between light-triggered Mg-banding and chamber formation in the planktic foraminifera Neogloboquadrina dutertrei

Abstract

Mg/Ca ratios of planktic foraminifera are commonly used to reconstruct past ocean temperatures. However, intrashell Mg/Ca ratios exhibit a pattern of alternating high and low Mg-bands in many species. Whereas mechanisms controlling Mg variability are poorly constrained, recent experiments demonstrate that it is paced by the diurnal light/dark cycle in Orbulina universa, which forms a terminal shell of simple spherical geometry. It is unknown whether Mg-heterogeneity is diurnally paced in species with complex shell morphologies, or is the result of growth processes. Here, we show that high Mg/Ca-calcite also forms at night in cultured specimens of the multi-chambered planktic foraminifera Neogloboquadrina dutertrei. Our results demonstrate that N. dutertrei adds a significant amount of calcite, and nearly all Mg-bands, after the final chamber forms. Furthermore, these results have implications for interpreting patterns of calcification in N. dutertrei, and possibly other foraminifera species, and suggests diurnal Mg-banding is an intrinsic component of biomineralization in planktic foraminifera.
