Taxonomy
Citation: Orbulina universa d’Orbigny, 1839 Rank: species Basionym: Orbulina universa d’Orbigny, 1839 Variants: Biorbulina bilobata (d'Orbigny) - bilobed form [according to e.g. Stainforth et al., 1975; Saito et al., 1981, Robbins 1989] Catalog entries: Globigerina bilobata; Orbulina universa; Type images:
lectotype: Globigerina bilobata
holotype: Globigerina bilobata
Short diagnosis: monospecific NB The short diagnoses are used in the tables of daughter-taxa to act as quick summaries of the differences between e.g. species of one genus. They have initially been copied from the diagnostic characters/distinguishing features sections of the Eocene and Paleocene Atlases, they will be edited as the site is developed.
Description Diagnostic characters: Completely spherical with final chamber entirely enveloping earlier test : Numerous small openings of two distinct sizes [Aze 2011, based on Kennett & Srinivasan 1983]
Aperture: Coiling direction (in extant population): mixed Wall type: Spinose; Hispid [Aze 2011]
Test morphology: Test spherical composed of a single spherical chamber, final chamber entirely enveloping the early part of the test, which is usually reduced. In the adult, an internal stage may be enveloped by the final spherical chamber. Surface densely perforate with numerous small openings of two distinct sizes
Globigerina
Size: >250µm
Biogeography and Palaeobiology Geographic distribution: Equatorial to subpolar. Isotope paleobiology: Widely reported as a mixed layer species. [but placed by Aze et al. 2011 in ecogroup 4 - Open ocean sub-thermocline. Based on very light ∂13C and very heavy ∂18O. Sources cited by Aze et al. 2011 (appendix S3): Vergnaud-Grazzini (1976)]
O. universa
Phylogenetic relations: is nearly ubiquitous ;(50°N and S Lat.) in tropical, subtropical, and even the Subantarctic areas where it is less frequent. Bé et al. (1973) observed that populations with large tests and highest test porosities occur in tropical areas. Those with lower porosities and which decrease in mean test diameter occur in subtropical and Subantarctic waters.

Orbulina universa III (113 sequences) Most likely ancestor: Orbulina suturalis - at confidence level 4 (out of 5). Data source: Kennett & Srinivasan 1983, fig. 11. Biostratigraphic distribution Geological Range:
Last occurrence (top): Extant Data source: present in the plankton (SCOR WG138) First occurrence (base): within N9 zone (14.24-15.10Ma, base in Langhian stage). Data source: Kennett & Srinivasan 1983 (recorded as G. aequilateralis) Plot of occurrence data: Range-bar - range as quoted above, pink interval top occurs in, green interval base occurs in. Triangles indicate an event for which a precise placement has been suggested Histogram - Neptune occurrence data from DSDP and ODP proceedings.
