Presented at 2008 Joint Meeting of The Geological Society of America, Soil Science Society of America, American Society of Agronomy, Crop Science Society of America, Gulf Coast Association of Geological Societies with the Gulf Coast Section of SEPM, Houston, USA

Various groups of planktonic organisms, including foraminifera, have evolved from benthic ancestors. The question remains whether such evolution and expansion into a new ecological domain occurred only once (or very few times) per clade or whether su...
