Abstract: New measurements of stable isotope vital effects in fossil coccoliths show a step increase in reliance of coccolithophore photosynthesis on active transport of dissolved bicarbonate in the late Miocene epoch, suggesting both a low threshold for adaptation of coccolithophores to carbon dioxide and a decrease in global carbon dioxide levels at that time.
