Foraminifers associated with macroalgae on a wave-cut platform off Abu Qir coastal area, Egypt

open access: yesEgyptian Journal of Aquatic Research, 2022
Since their earliest history, benthic foraminifers have diversified to inhabit a vast array of habitats, from semi-terrestrial to the deep-sea floor. Epiphytic foraminifers developed morphologies that have allowed them to inhabit macroalgal fronds and ...

Phenotypic Evolution in a Cretaceous Foraminifer [PDF]

open access: yesEvolution, 1982
Statistically well-documented sequences of fossil species are rare, as has been observed, for example, by Eldredge and Gould (1972), Boucot (1978) and Dodson and Hallam (1977). Rapid advances in theoretical paleontology made over the last few years have, however, made it imperative that the many new and exciting theories we now have at our disposal be ...

Oceanographic parameters in continental margin of the State of Ceará (northeastern Brazil) deduced from C and O isotopes in foraminifers

open access: yesAnais da Academia Brasileira de Ciências, 2007
Specimens of Recent foraminifera of Amphistegina radiata, Peneroplis planatus and Globigerinoides ruber, from fifty samples of surface sediments of the continental margin of the State of Ceará, Brazil, have been analyzed for carbon and oxygen isotopes to

An Aberrant Foraminifer [PDF]

open access: yesNature, 1871
I CHANCED upon an aberrant form of Peneroplis the other day, in which the free terminal series of chambers of this Foraminifer, ordinarily single, is constricted into two distinct tubes.

A revised Mississippian lithostratigraphy of County Galway (western Ireland) with an analysis of carbonate lithofacies, biostratigraphy, depositional environments and palaeogeographic reconstructions utilising new borehole data

open access: yesJournal of Palaeogeography, 2015
An integrated study of borehole data and outcrop of Mississippian (late Tournaisian to late Viséan) rocks in Co. (County) Galway, western Ireland has enabled a more detailed geological map and lithostratigraphy to be constructed for the region.

A deep-sea agglutinated foraminifer tube constructed with planktonic foraminifer shells of a single species [PDF]

open access: yesJournal of Micropalaeontology, 2018
Abstract. Agglutinated foraminifera are marine protists that show apparently complex behaviour in constructing their shells, involving selecting suitable sedimentary grains from their environment, manipulating them in three dimensions, and cementing them precisely into position.

Nitrate storage and dissimilatory nitrate reduction by eukaryotic microbes

open access: yesFrontiers in Microbiology, 2015
The microbial nitrogen cycle is one of the most complex and environmentally important element cycles on Earth and has long been thought to be mediated exclusively by prokaryotic microbes.

Protein biomass quantification of unbroken individual foraminifers using nano-spectrophotometry [PDF]

open access: yesBiogeosciences, 2012
The ecological role of foraminifers has been largely unknown partly owing to difficulties in determining their individual biomass, although foraminifers are abundant in surface marine sediments.
