Denitrification by benthic foraminifera and their contribution to N-loss from a fjord environment [PDF]
Biogeosciences, 2021 Oxygen and nitrate availabilities impact the marine nitrogen cycle at a range of spatial and temporal scales. Here, we demonstrate the impact of denitrifying foraminifera on the nitrogen cycle at two oxygen and nitrate contrasting stations in a fjord ...

Eocene foraminiferal biofacies in Kutch Basin (India) in context of palaeoclimate and palaeoecology
Journal of Palaeogeography, 2019 The Eocene Epoch passed through multiple hyperthermal events and recorded highest temperatures in the Cenozoic. Very few studies from Eocene palaeotropical sites have recorded changes in shallow marine foraminiferal assemblages.

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

Identification of living (Rose Bengal)-stained benthic foraminifera using automated image recognition [PDF]
Journal of MicropalaeontologyLiving and fossil benthic foraminifera are widely used as bioindicators of ecosystem quality, but their analysis is time-consuming. With the help of artificial intelligence, models for the automatic identification of fossil planktonic foraminifera and ...

Benthic Foraminifera as Pollution Biomarkers: a Morphological Approach
Microbial Ecology, 2023 Abstract Coastal areas are often intervened by anthropic activities, which increase the contamination of toxic agents such as heavy metals. This causes adverse morphological effects on benthic microorganisms, such as foraminifera. This group is one of the most susceptible to environmental deterioration, so they can be used as pollution ...
