		+	''Globigerinoides ruber'' is a symbiont-bearing planktonic [[:Category:Foraminifera \| foraminifer]] commonly found in the surface water of the tropics and subtropics and often used in paleoceanographic studies as a sea surface temperature [[Climate Proxy \| proxy]]. ''Globigerinoides ruber'' has been shown to tolerate hyposaline conditions and has been recovered from waters having salinities of 30.5 to 31 psu <ref> Bé, A. W. H., & Tolderund, D. S. (1971).

Cambridge, U.K.: Cambridge University Press. </ref>. ''G. ruber'' exhibits two varieties, a pink and a white form. The pink variety occurs usually in the warmer waters of the Atlantic Ocean, whereas the white variety thrives at lower temperatures <ref> Hemleben, C., Spindler, M., & Anderson, O. R. (1989). Modern Planktonic Foraminifera. Berlin: Springer-Verlag. </ref>. The pink variety disappeared from the Indian and Pacific Oceans during the Pleistocene <ref> Thompson, P. R., Bè, A. W.

Isotopic signal in two morphoypes of Globigerinoides ruber (white) from the South China Sea: implications for monsoon climate change during the last glacial cycle. . Palaeogeography, palaeoclimatology, palaeoecology, 161, 381-394. </ref>: ''G. ruber'' sensu stricto (s.s.) and ''G. ruber'' sensu lato (s.l.) (Figure 1). These two morphotypes exhibit different taxonomic criteria, shell stable isotopic composition of oxygen and carbon, and habitat depth <ref name = wang_2000 />.
		+
		+	''G. ruber'' s.s. refers to specimens with spherical chambers sitting symmetrically over previous sutures, with a wide, high-arched aperture bordered by a rim. On the other hand, ''G. ruber'' s.l. refers to specimens with more compressed chambers sitting asymmetrically over the previous sutures, with a small round or medium arched opening bordered by a rim and two small- to medium size, round supplementary suture apertures situated opposite to sutures of previous chambers <ref name = wang_2000 />.
		+
		+	The differences in [[D18O \| stable oxygen]] and [[D13C \|carbon]] isotope values are representative of different calcification depths for the two morphotypes, with ''G. ruber'' s.s. calcifying in the upper 30m of the water column, and ''G. ruber'' s.l. living at depths of 30-50m <ref name = wang_2000 /> <ref> Kawahata, H. (2005). Stable isotopic composition of two morphotypes of Globigerinoides ruber (white) in the subtropical gyre in the North Pacific. Paleontological Research, 9(1), 27-35. </ref>.
