Chlorophyll a fluorescence is increasingly being used as a rapid, non-invasive, sensitive
and convenient indicator of photosynthetic performance in marine autotrophs. This review …

Global warming threatens the viability of tropical coral reefs and associated marine
calcifiers, including symbiont‐bearing larger benthic foraminifera (LBF). The impacts of …

Large benthic foraminifera are major carbonate components in tropical carbonate platforms,
important carbonate producers, stratigraphic tools and powerful bioindicators (proxies) of …

The investigation along the Coromandel coastline of South-east India focused on assessing
microplastics abundance using Simpson's diversity index (DIMP), Degradation-carbonyl …

The effects of sunscreen on scleractinian corals have garnered widespread attention;
however, the toxic effects and mechanisms remain unclear. This study investigated the …

Background Understanding the specificity and flexibility of the algal symbiosis-host
association is fundamental for predicting how species occupy a diverse range of habitats …

Symbiont-bearing perforated large benthic foraminifers are vital to the formation of coral reef
islands in the Pacific Ocean and are affected by the deterioration of reefal water quality in …

Pacific atolls are extremely vulnerable to the effects of climate change. Coral reef
ecosystems, which are responsible for the island formation and maintenance, can potentially …

Marine ecosystems, particularly coastal environments, are rapidly changing due to
anthropogenic impacts resulting in increased global climate change (ocean warming) …

We assessed the photosynthetic efficiency of the lab-cultured large benthic foraminifers
(LBFs), Calcarina gaudichaudii and Baculogypsina sphaerulata, by means of a pulse …
