Benthic foraminifera are unicellular eukaryotes that inhabit marine sediments and play a pivotal role in nutrient cycling. Their remarkable physiological capabilities enable them to thrive in diverse ...

Benthic foraminifera are widely used as paleoenvironmental proxies because of their high sensitivity to environmental changes and excellent preservation potential in sediment. Affected by global ...

Salt water in the oceans is not the same everywhere; There are water layers that have different salinities and temperatures. The phenomenon of thermohaline circulation – which results from the ...

An international group of researchers have discovered a previously unknown species of large foraminifer, shedding new light on the ecological evolution and biodiversity of coral reefs in the Ryukyu ...

Fish predation or cropping of foraminifera is widespread on coral reefs. At Eniwetok Atoll, live foraminifera are taken by herbivorous grazers that crop close to the substrate, occasionally by ...

A computer file of all published distributional data (presence or absence) on the living and dead recent benthic foraminifera in the Caribbean region was constructed from 99 papers published since ...

With the expansion of oxygen-depleted waters in the oceans due to climate change, some species of foraminifera (forams, a type of protist or single-celled eukaryote) that thrive in those conditions ...

A computer file of all published distributional data (presence or absence) on the recent, living and dead benthic foraminifera off the Mexican and Central American Pacific coast was constructed from ...
