Genetic characterisation (SSU rRNA genoty**) and Scanning Electron Microscope (SEM)
imaging of individual tests were used in tandem to determine the modern species richness …

The high morphological variability observed in the genus Ammonia, together with its global
distribution, led to the description of a plethora of species, subspecies, and varieties. Until …

Assimilation, sequestration and maintenance of foreign chloroplasts inside an organism is
termed “chloroplast sequestration” or “kleptoplasty”. This phenomenon is known in certain …

The genetic diversity, morphology and biogeography of Ammonia specimens was
investigated across the Northeast (NE) Atlantic margins, to enhance the regional (palaeo) …

Abstract Raja Ampat (Indonesia) is a remote archipelago west of Papua mainland and
