Ecology of Benthic Foraminifera
Notes for a Short Course: Studies in Geology, 1982Benthic foraminifera live in a wide variety of marine habitats, from marshes to abyssal plains. Both epifaunal and infaunal adaptations are present. The distribution of species is controlled by a complex of abiotic and biotic variables of the environment, usually resulting in a depth-zonation of assemblages on continental margins.The composition of the

Benthic behavior of planktic foraminifera
Geology, 1996In culture containers with sediment on the bottom, two of six species of planktic foraminifera reveal characteristic benthic activities, such as reorientation, crawling, and burrowing. Globigerinella siphonifera creates well-organized burrows and excavated sediment on a circular pile.

Pleistocene Benthic Foraminifera and DeepM
Journal Geological Society of India, 1991Abstract The evolution of Pleistocene deep-sea environments at Northern Indian Ocean DSDP Site 219 has been evaluated, using the quantitative analyses of deep-sea benthic foraminiferal fauna. The Pleistocene assemblages are dominated by Uvigerina proboscidea which shows remarkable frequency changes.

Ecology and Applications of Benthic Foraminifera
2006In this 2006 volume John Murray investigates the ecological processes that control the distribution, abundance and species diversity of benthic foraminifera in environments ranging from marsh to the deepest ocean. To interpret the fossil record it is necessary to have an understanding of the ecology of modern foraminifera and the processes operating ...

Biogeography of neritic benthic Foraminifera
1999Large-scale biogeographic distributions of benthic Foraminifera of the world’s shelves exhibit a pattern that indicates a major controlling role for temperature at this scale. Cold-, temperate-, and warm-water groupings of provinces have been recognized around the world, with a greater number of provinces delineated in warmer regions. Modern provincial

Benthic Foraminifera: Response to Environment
1984As pointed out in the previous chapter, the response of each benthic species to the abiotic and biotic conditions in its environment is a specific one, reflected by its particular life history. An attempt is made in the following to summarize and integrate in situ observations, experimental evidence and assumptions based on circumstantial evidence ...

Benthic foraminifera assemblages at Great Meteor Seamount
Marine Biology, 2004Foraminiferal assemblages found at Great Meteor Seamount were studied in August 1998. Communities of living foraminifera in surface sediments from the plateau (290–325 m water depth) and from the surrounding base (2,300–4,096 m) were compared in abundances, diversity, and species composition.

Selective responses of benthic foraminifera to thermal pollution
Marine Pollution Bulletin, 2016Persistent thermohaline pollution at a site along the northern coast of Israel, due to power and desalination plants, is used as a natural laboratory to evaluate the effects of rising temperature and salinity levels on benthic foraminifera living in shallow hard-bottom habitats.

Atlas of Recent Benthic foraminifera from Turkey
Micropaleontology, 2014Benthic foraminifera are single-celled organisms abundantly found in all kind of marine environments from brackish estuaries to the deep ocean basins at all latitudes. Foraminifera are covered with an organic test which accumulate in the sediment and make up a significant amount of sedimentary rock.

Biotic Interactions in Benthic Foraminifera
1983Foraminif era have a long geologic record, extending back perhaps to the Cambrian, and they are both abundant and diverse during most of the Phanerozoic. Over 40,000 species now have been described, of which approximately 4000 are living today (Tappan, 1971).
