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

The Osmium Isotope Signature of Phanerozoic Large Igneous Provinces
Geophysical Monograph Series, Page 229-246., 2021 Exploring the links between Large Igneous Provinces and dramatic environmental impact
An emerging consensus suggests that Large Igneous Provinces (LIPs) and Silicic LIPs (SLIPs) are a significant driver of dramatic global environmental and biological changes, including mass extinctions.
