Reference list for PF names: ReferenceList_PlanktonicForaminifera.csv CODE 1. 01_DataAnalysis_PCA.R: principal component analysis on assemblage data of individual time series as well as on whole dissimilarity matrix (results shown in Fig. 1 and 2) 2. 02_DataAnalysis_LocalBiodiversityChange.R: local biodiversity change analysis of individual time series (results shown in Fig. 3 and Extended Data Fig. 1); also recalculates resolution of time-series 3. 03_DataAnalysis_NoAnalogueAssemblages.R: calculates compositional dissimilarity to the nearest LGM sample to analyse existence of no-analogues (results shown in Fig. 4, as well as Extended Data Fig. 3 and 4) 4. 04_DataAnalysis_LDG_LGMresiduals.R: visualises latitudinal diversity gradient through time and the difference between richness and Shannon diversity to their respective LGM mean values (results shown in Fig. 5) *Assemblage data of individual time series were manually downloaded, checked and harmonized following the taxonomy of Siccha and Kucera (2017) and combined into one data file. Species not reported in the time series data were assumed to be absent (i.e., zero abundance). We merged Globigerinoides ruber ruber and Globigerinoides ruber albus, because some studies only reported them together as Globigerinoides ruber. Also, P/D intergrades (an informal category of morphological intermediates between Neogloboquadrina incompta and Neogloboquadrina dutertrei) were merged with Neogloboquadrina incompta. In total, 41 species of planktonic foraminifera were included in this study. Siccha, M. & Kucera, M.
