Since the 1950s, numerous studies have demonstrated the value of benthic foraminifera in
detecting ecosystem contamination. The interest in benthic foraminifera has partly been …

This review examines environmental factors affecting potentially toxic elements (PTEs) in
coastal waters with the goal of proposing ways to enhance the use of benthic foraminifers as …

In order to assess the response of benthic foraminifera to trace element pollution, a study of
benthic foraminiferal assemblages was carried out into sediment samples collected from the …

Benthic foraminifera are increasingly used as environmental bio-indicators of pollution in
coastal and marginal marine settings. Their community structure provides information on the …

We investigated morphological abnormalities of Recent benthic foraminiferal tests in paralic
environments of Brazil from two estuaries (Rio Guaraú and Rio Una located in the tropical …

Species composition in the present-day Amazonian heartland has an imprint of past marine
influence. The exact nature, timing and extent of this marine influence, however, are largely …

Benthic foraminifera can be used as environmental bioindicators, especially in polluted
environments where their sensitivity to pollutants may be expressed by a modification in the …

Foraminiferal assemblages were studied in 93 samples collected in the lagoon of Araruama
and in the adjacent area. The lagoon of Araruama is one of the largest hypersaline lagoons …

An early to mid-Holocene humid period has been inferred from a variety of geo-bio-archives
of the Sahara and the Arabian Peninsula including sabkhas, palaeo-lakes, sand dunes …

Mediterranean infralittoral soft bottoms are dominated by extensive seagrass meadows of
the endemic phanerogam Posidonia oceanica (L.) Delile. Both leaves and rhizomes are …
