INTRODUCTION Protists are known for their short lifespan, high diversity, important role in the trophic networks, biogeochemical cycles and also for their rapid reproduction (Biard et al., 2016; Biard & Ohman, 2020; Foissner & Hawksworth, 2009; Guidi et al., 2016). They have a flexible life cycle and are capable of reproducing both sexually and/or asexually. Asexual reproduction bears multiple advantages such as high survival of offspring leading to rapid population growth.

Collection of X-ray micro computed tomography images of shells of planktic foraminifera with curated taxonomy - Scientific Data

| Nature Verified
Abstract Calcite shells of planktic foraminifera (Protista, Rhizaria) constitute a large portion of deep-sea sediments. The shells are constructed by sequential addition of partly overlapping chambers with diverse shapes, resulting in complex shell architectures, which are genetically fixed and diagnostic at the species level. The characterisation of the complete architecture requires three-dimensional imaging of the shell, including the partially or entirely covered juvenile chambers.

The Indian monsoon system is an important climate feature of the northern Indian Ocean. Small variations of the wind and precipitation patterns have fundamental influence on the societal, agricultural, and economic development of India and its neighboring countries. To understand current trends, sensitivity to forcing, or natural variation, records beyond the instrumental period are needed. However, high-resolution archives of past winter monsoon variability are scarce.
