Response of Benthic Foraminifera to Cadmium Pollution Assessed via Morphological and Metabarcoding Analyses [PDF]

Microorganisms
Benthic foraminifera are effective indicators of heavy metal contamination in marine ecosystems. Traditional methods for benthic foraminiferal identification and biodiversity assessment rely predominantly on stereomicroscopic analysis.

Ammonium and Sulfate Assimilation Is Widespread in Benthic Foraminifera [PDF]

Frontiers in Marine Science, 2022
Nitrogen and sulfur are key elements in the biogeochemical cycles of marine ecosystems to which benthic foraminifera contribute significantly. Yet, cell-specific assimilation of ammonium, nitrate and sulfate by these protists is poorly characterized and ...

Relative abundances of benthic foraminifera in response to total organic carbon in sediments: Data from European intertidal areas and transitional waters [PDF]

Data in Brief, 2021
We gathered total organic carbon (%) and relative abundances of benthic foraminifera in intertidal areas and transitional waters from the English Channel/European Atlantic Coast (587 samples) and the Mediterranean Sea (301 samples) regions from published

Heavy metals contamination and distribution of benthic foraminifera from the Red Sea coastal area, Jeddah, Saudi Arabia

Oceanologia, 2015
The distribution of benthic foraminifera was studied in two stations in the coastal area, located around Jeddah, Red Sea coast, Saudi Arabia. Thirty-three species belonging to 15 genera, 14 families and three suborders were recorded in twenty samples ...

Long-term functional kleptoplasty in benthic foraminifera. [PDF]

iScience
Foraminifera are highly diverse rhizarian protists, with some lineages having developed the ability to retain chloroplasts from algal prey (kleptoplasty). Recently, we revealed the evolutionary relationship between kleptoplasty and algal symbiosis in the benthic foraminifera Hauerina diversa.

BFR2: a curated ribosomal reference dataset for benthic foraminifera [PDF]

Scientific Data
Benthic foraminifera are one of the major groups of marine protists that also occur in freshwater and terrestrial habitats. They are widely used to monitor current and past environmental conditions. Over the last three decades, thousands of DNA sequences

Multiyear data on benthic foraminifera in a glaciated fjord of Svalbard [PDF]

Data in Brief, 2018
Glaciers in the fjords of Svalbard have been receding over last decades. Tempelfjorden, a typical glaciated fjord in West Spitsbergen (78°24′06″ N, 17°02′30″ E), has been sampled in summer 1995 and 2001–2007 for modern benthic foraminifera.
