The epoch of the Anthropocene, a period during which human activity has been the
dominant influence on climate and the environment, has witnessed a decline in oxygen …

We analyzed published downcore microfossil records from 150 studies and reinterpreted
them from an ecological degradation perspective to address the following critical but still …

Meiofauna are the metazoan component of the benthos, and also include large protozoans
(eg foraminifera). They are defined by their body size (44-1000 μm) and are the most …

Harmful algal blooms, which are considered a serious environmental problem nowadays,
occur in coastal waters in many parts of the world. They cause acute ecological damage and …

Under certain conditions, sediment cores from coastal settings subject to hypoxia can yield
records of environmental changes over time scales ranging from decades to millennia …

This study assessed foraminiferal assemblages in Biscayne Bay, Florida, a heavily utilized
estuary, interpreting changes over the past 65years and providing a baseline for future …

We present a spatiotemporal evaluation of water quality incidents in Japan considering
incident numbers, incident causes, pollutant categories, and pollution effects. Water …

This review examines environmental factors affecting potentially toxic elements (PTEs) in
coastal waters with the goal of proposing ways to enhance the use of benthic foraminifers as …

By comparing benthic foraminiferal and macrofaunal responses to sewage sludge disposal
in the Firth of Clyde (Scotland), we wanted to investigate the possibility of using foraminifera …

The influence of anthropogenic loading on the distribution of soft bottom benthic organisms
of a tropical estuary (Cochin backwaters) was examined. The industrial activities were found …
