How is ventilation at various depth layers of the Atlantic connected and what role do changes in ocean circulation play?

Benthic foraminifera are widely used as paleoenvironmental proxies because of their high sensitivity to environmental changes and excellent preservation potential in sediment. Affected by global ...

A new study sheds light on how a species of foraminifera, single-celled organisms found in almost all marine habitats, thrives in a dark, oxygen-free environment.

High-resolution benthic foraminiferal study was carried out on the surficial bottom sediments of the Al-Kharrar Lagoon (KL), north of Rabigh City, eastern Red Sea coast, Saudi Arabia. One hundred ...

Large benthic foraminifera form a crucial part of marine communities from warm to tropical waters, especially in coral reefs. Remarkably, ...

"Foraminifera are extremely abundant on earth. Most are only about 300 microns in diameter, so rather small. In a volume as small as a pencil eraser, there could be about 500 of this particular ...

One of my curatorial predecessors Randolf Kirkpatrick (1863-1950) thought that larger benthic foraminifera (LBFs) were so important that he published a theory that they were vital to the formation of ...
