Abstract:
Two specimens of the coccolithophore Calyptrolithophora pappilifera associated with single exothecal and endothecal coccoliths of Syracosphaera histrica, collected from the North Aegean Sea (NE Mediterranean), have been verified by Scanning Electron Microscopy. The two specimens strengthen previous reported hints that Syracosphaera histrica and Calyptrolithophora pappilifera represent a life-cycle association, documenting accordingly the relationships between the different phases within the genus Syracosphaera.
