Benthic foraminifera are widely used as paleoenvironmental proxies because of their high sensitivity to environmental changes and excellent preservation potential in sediment. Affected by global ...

Benthic foraminifera are unicellular eukaryotes that inhabit marine sediments and play a pivotal role in nutrient cycling. Their remarkable physiological capabilities enable them to thrive in ...

Joan Bernhard, a senior scientist in WHOI's Geology & Geophysics Department and foraminifera expert, has been studying this population of benthic foraminifera for decades to learn how these ...

At that time, an ocean expanded from the Mediterranean area to the Indo-Pacific." Large benthic foraminifera form a crucial part of marine communities from warm to tropical waters, especially in ...

This is the metadata section. Skip to content viewer section. Physiological mechanisms of bleaching were studied on larger benthic foraminifera (LBF) hosting endosymbiotic diatoms. Amphistegina ...

One of my curatorial predecessors Randolf Kirkpatrick (1863-1950) thought that larger benthic foraminifera (LBFs) were so important that he published a theory that they were vital to the formation of ...

The collection covers more than 120 countries. The former Iraq Petroleum Company (IPC) collection contains benthic foraminifera from the Middle East, covering the Palaeozoic, Mesozoic and Cenozoic ...

Today, forams are widely distributed across the global ocean, spanning the seafloor (benthic foraminifera) and the water column (planktic foraminifera). To date, investigations into the impact of ...
