| Abstract | This paper uses high resolution sediment trap flux data to demonstrate the lunar based reproduction cycle of many species of planktonic Foraminifera. It addresses relevant scientific questions within the scope of BG. Although, the paper does not present novel concepts, ideas or data, it confirms earlier papers and convincingly demonstrates a lunar based reproduction cycle in many species of planktonic Foraminifera. The scientific methods and assumptions are valid and most of it is clearly outlined. The authors give proper credit to related work and clearly indicate their own contribution. The title clearly reflects the contents of the paper and the abstract provides a concise and complete summary. The overall presentation is well structured and clear, and the language fluent and precise. There are a few concepts in the method section that require |
