Statement

A total number of 860 specimens of planktonic foraminifera, representing the new species Globigerinoides rublobatus n. sp. and its two potential sister taxa (Globigerinoides conglobatus and Globigerinoides ruber), were measured for morphometric analysis. All picked foraminifera were positioned in umbilical view and photographed with the use of a light microscope, equipped with a digital camera. Morphometric data acquisition was conducted in the Image Pro software, using its standard functions for extracting dimensional data from images of photographed objects. The software was configured to ignore any internal holes (e.g. apertures etc.) and automatically extract all required measurements from the highlighted objects. Collected data were analyzed in Microsoft Excel software, with the three-variable scatter diagrams plotted using Scatterplot3D_2.1 Excel workbook by Doka (2013).
