Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences of the United States of America, 2019 Significance Foraminifera are able to respire nitrate instead of oxygen, a rare ability amongst eukaryotes. Here, we show that benthic foraminifera from the Peruvian oxygen minimum zone are not just facultative anaerobes by switching to nitrate ...

Planktic foraminifera form their shells via metastable carbonate phases
Nature Communications, 2017 The calcium carbonate shells of planktic foraminifera provide our most valuable geochemical archive of ocean surface conditions and climate spanning the last 100 million years, and play an important role in the ocean carbon cycle.

Scientific Data, 2017 Census counts of marine microfossils in surface sediments represent an invaluable resource for paleoceanography and for the investigation of macroecological processes. A prerequisite for such applications is the provision of data syntheses for individual

Nature Communications, 2017 Oxygen-isotope compositions of fossilised planktonic and benthic foraminifera tests are used as proxies for surface- and deep-ocean paleotemperatures, providing a continuous benthic record for the past 115 Ma.

Biogeosciences, 2023 . The oceans are losing oxygen (O2), and oxygen minimum zones are expanding due to climate warming (lower O2 solubility) and eutrophication related to agriculture.

Taxonomic review of living planktonic foraminifera
Journal of Micropalaeontology, 2022 . Applications of fossil shells of planktonic foraminifera to decipher past environmental change and plankton evolution require a robust operational taxonomy.

Frontiers in Marine Science, 2022 The mass of well-preserved calcite in planktonic foraminifera shells provides an indication of the calcification potential of the surface ocean. Here we report the shell weight of 8 different abundant planktonic foraminifera species from a set of core-to

Sedimentology, 2021 Large benthic foraminifera are major carbonate components in tropical carbonate platforms, important carbonate producers, stratigraphic tools and powerful bioindicators (proxies) of environmental change.

Denitrification by benthic foraminifera and their contribution to N-loss from a fjord environment
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 ...
