Origin of the foraminifera. [PDF]
Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences, 1995 We report nuclear small-subunit rDNA sequences for two species of the benthic foraminifer Ammonia. Because of their abundance in present and past seas, the foraminifera are a very important group of organisms used in a wide range of geologic studies; however, the ancestry of this group was, until now, unknown.

Impact of carbonate saturation on large Caribbean benthic foraminifera assemblages [PDF]
Biogeosciences, 2018 Increasing atmospheric carbon dioxide and its dissolution in seawater have reduced ocean pH and carbonate ion concentrations, with potential implications on calcifying organisms.

Frontiers in Marine Science, 2021 Foraminifera are shelled single-celled protists that are found in all marine environments. Benthic foraminifera either live in sediments or attach to surfaces on the seafloor. Understanding the distribution and ecological response of benthic foraminifera

Nature Communications, 2022 Planktonic foraminifera are key to understanding paleoclimate and plankton evolution, but their origins are unclear. Here, the authors use a molecular clock to suggest that benthic foraminifera dispersed in plankton and renew planktonic foraminifera ...

Foraminifera associated with cold seeps in marine sediments
Frontiers in Marine Science, 2023 Cold seep foraminifera have attracted considerable attention as they provide valuable insights into the study of cold seeps. This study provides a comprehensive overview of the manifestations of foraminifera in cold seep environments and methane seepage ...

The evolution of early Foraminifera [PDF]
Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences, 2003 Fossil Foraminifera appear in the Early Cambrian, at about the same time as the first skeletonized metazoans. However, due to the inadequate preservation of early unilocular (single-chambered) foraminiferal tests and difficulties in their identification, the evolution of early foraminifers is poorly understood. By using molecular data from a wide range

Open Quaternary, 2021 This study analysed the distribution and abundance of dead and live (Rose Bengal stained) infaunal foraminifera from three short cores taken at three locations in the mangrove swamps of Kemaman-Chukai, Terengganu, Malaysia.

Biomineralization in perforate foraminifera [PDF]
Earth-Science Reviews, 2014 In this paper, we review the current understanding of biomineralization in perforate foraminifera. Ideas on the mechanisms responsible for the flux of Ca2 + and inorganic carbon from seawater into the test were originally based on light and electron microscopic observations of calcifying foraminifera.

Frontiers in Earth Science, 2023 This study describes seasonal changes in the fluxes of planktonic foraminifera in response to changes in environmental conditions during the Asian Monsoon.

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.
