Large benthic Foraminifera (LBF) are major carbonate producers on coral reefs, and are
hosts to a diverse symbiotic microbial community. During warm episodes in the geological …

Marine microbial communities, composed of bacteria, archaea, and protists, as well as
viruses, play essential roles in the functioning and regulation of Earth's biogeochemical …

Large benthic foraminifera are significant contributors to sediment formation on coral reefs,
yet they are vulnerable to ocean acidification. Here, we assessed the biochemical and …

Abstract The Shallow Benthic Zonation is one of the most important achievements of
biostratigraphy in the last twenty years. Here we summarize the state of the art in the field of …

Miocene carbonates of the Eratosthenes Seamount, located offshore from Cyprus in the
Eastern Mediterranean (ODP Leg 160, Site 966), have been re-analysed. The use of SEDEX …

This work shows the potential for applying three-dimensional biometry to studying cell
growth in larger benthic foraminifera. The volume of each test chamber was measured from …

The complete lifecycle of the planktonic foraminifera has continued to remain obscure.
Benthic foraminifera exhibit an obligate alternation of generations between haploid gamonts …

The use of micro-computed tomography (μCT) provides a unique opportunity to look inside
the shells of larger benthic foraminifera to investigate their structure by measuring linear and …

Benthic foraminifera are excellent tools for monitoring marine environments and
reconstructing paleoenvironments. This study investigated the structure and diversity of …

Previous attempts to quantify the test-flattening trend in Heterostegina depressa with water
depth have been rather unsuccessful. Due to its broad depth distribution, H. depressa is a …
