Foraminifera are a primarily marine taxon widespread in all oceanic habitats, from shallow,
brackish-water settings to deep-seafloor and pelagic realms. Their diversity is remarkable …

Nephroselmis sp. was previously identified as a species of interest for its antioxidant
properties owing to its high carotenoid content. In addition, nitrogen availability can impact …

Heatwaves have increased in intensity, duration and frequency over the last decades due to
climate change. Intertidal species, living in a highly variable environment, are likely to be …

Foraminifera are ubiquitously distributed in marine habitats, playing a major role in marine
sediment carbon sequestration and the nitrogen cycle. They exhibit a wide diversity of …

Foraminifera are unicellular organisms that established the most diverse algal symbioses in
the marine realm. Endosymbiosis repeatedly evolved in several lineages, while some …

In mudflats, interactions and transfers of nutrients and secondary metabolites may drive
ecosystems and biodiversity. Foraminifera have complex trophic strategies as they often rely …

Kleptoplasty or acquisition of chloroplasts from ingested photosynthetic organisms, is
thought to be a key factor in determining the trophic requirements and carbon mineralization …

Foraminifera are unicellular organisms that play an important role in marine organic matter
cycles. Some species are able to isolate chloroplasts from their algal food source and …

Nitrogen and sulfur are key elements in the biogeochemical cycles of marine ecosystems to
which benthic foraminifera contribute significantly. Yet, cell-specific assimilation of …

The reef system is the main feature of the Recife de Fora Marine Park (RFMP) on the East
Brazilian coast. High hydrodynamics introduce nutrients, sediment, and contaminants from …
