The abundance of Globigerinoides ruber was higher during glacial periods and lower during interglacial periods, which is completely different from records from other regions. Sea Surface Temperature (SST), Depth of the Thermocline (DOT) and fragmentation of planktonic Foraminifera were calculated and compared in order to discuss their effects on changes in G. ruber. SST and fragmentation showed little oscillation over most of the time interval, whereas DOT showed strong fluctuation and was well correlated to G. ruber. DOT was more likely to have a profound impact on variations in G. ruber in the southern SCS.completedQuaternary geologyCenozoiccyclesdepthfactorsForaminiferaglacial environmentGlobigerinaceaGlobigerinidaeGlobigerinoidesGlobigerinoides rubericeinterglacial environmentInvertebrataLeg 184marine environmentmicrofossilsNorth PacificNorthwest PacificOcean Drilling ProgramODP Site 1143Pacific Oceanpaleo-oceanographypaleoclimatologypaleoecologypaleotemperaturePleistoceneProtistaQuaternaryRotaliinasea icesea-surface temperatureSouth China Seathermoclineupper PleistocenevolumeWest Pacificurn:org.iodp:exp:184urnlargerWorkCitationcampaignurn:org.iodp:exp:184:site:1143urnlargerWorkCitationstudyurn:org.iodp:exp:184urnlargerWorkCitationcampaignChinesegeoscientificInformation113.1707113.17079.21439.2143
