Abstract The Last Interglacial (MIS 5e, 128–116 ka) is among the most studied past periods
in Earth's history. The climate at that time was warmer than today, primarily due to different …

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 …

Benthic foraminifera are increasingly used as environmental bio-indicators, especially in
polluted environments where their sensitivity to pollutants may be expressed by a …

Salt-marsh foraminifera have been used to reconstruct Holocene sea-level changes from
coastlines around the world. In this work, we compile the results of surface foraminiferal …

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 …

Port Joinville harbor is located on an island. Thus, it receives only a few freshwater inputs,
contrary to most of the areas where the influence of pollution on foraminiferal assemblages …

Saronikos Gulf, including the industrial zone of Elefsis Bay and the Port of Piraeus, is one of
the most anthropogenically impacted coastal regions of Greece. Distinct assemblages of …

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 …

This work contributes to the ongoing work aiming at confirming benthic foraminifera as a
biological quality element. In this study, benthic foraminifera from intertidal and transitional …

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 …
