Benthic foraminifera (Protista) as tools in deep-water palaeoceanography: environmental influences on faunal characteristics

AJ Gooday - 2003 - Elsevier
Foraminiferal research lies at the border between geology and biology. Benthic foraminifera
are a major component of marine communities, highly sensitive to environmental influences …

A conceptual model explaining benthic foraminiferal microhabitats

FJ Jorissen, HC de Stigter, JGV Widmark - Marine micropaleontology, 1995 - Elsevier
We present a conceptual model which explains benthic foraminiferal microhabitat
preferences in terms of differences in the downward organic flux. We argue that under …

Live benthic foraminiferal faunas from the Bay of Biscay: faunal density, composition, and microhabitats

C Fontanier, FJ Jorissen, L Licari, A Alexandre… - Deep Sea Research …, 2002 - Elsevier
In the meso-oligotrophic Bay of Biscay, a diminishing downward organic matter flux with
depth is accompanied by an important decrease of the live foraminiferal density. Although …

Food web structure of the benthic community at the Porcupine Abyssal Plain (NE Atlantic): a stable isotope analysis

K Iken, T Brey, U Wand, J Voigt, P Junghans - Progress in Oceanography, 2001 - Elsevier
The deep-sea benthic community at the Porcupine Abyssal Plain (NE Atlantic) is a highly
food limited system. The annual input of sedimenting phytodetritus, which reaches the sea …

The biology of deep-sea foraminifera: a review of some advances and their applications in paleoceanography

AJ Gooday - Palaios, 1994 - JSTOR
Foraminifera commonly dominate ocean-floor eukaryotic communities. They also are the
most abundant benthic organisms to be preserved in the post-Paleozoic deep-sea fossil …

Deep-sea foraminifera in the South Atlantic Ocean: ecology and assemblage generation

A Mackensen, G Schmiedl, J Harloff, M Giese - Micropaleontology, 1995 - JSTOR
Benthic foraminiferal assemblages of 237 high-quality surface sediment samples from the
South Atlantic Ocean, including the Atlantic sector of the circumpolar ocean, were …

Organic flux control on bathymetric zonation of Mediterranean benthic foraminifera

S De Rijk, FJ Jorissen, EJ Rohling… - Marine Micropaleontology, 2000 - Elsevier
A data set of benthic foraminiferal faunas counted in 138 surface samples from the
Mediterranean Sea has been used to investigate whether the bathymetrical distribution of …

[PDF][PDF] The Central Paratethys palaeoceanography: a water circulation model based on microfossil proxies, climate, and changes of depositional environment.

M Kováč, N Hudáčková, E Halásová… - Acta Geologica …, 2017 - researchgate.net
A comprehensive “model” of the semi-closed Central Paratethys Sea history was proposed
for the entire time span of 25 Ma. Publications and datasets of the last decades were …

Cenozoic mass extinctions in the deep sea: What perturbs the largest habitat on Earth?

E Thomas - 2007 - pubs.geoscienceworld.org
Deep-sea benthic foraminifera live in the largest habitat on Earth, constitute an important
part of its benthic biomass, and form diverse assemblages with common cosmopolitan …
