Benthic foraminifera as bioindicators of marine pollution: A bibliometric approach to unravel trends, patterns and perspectives
Benthic foraminifera, single-celled marine organisms, are known for their wide distribution,
high abundance and species diversity, test (ie, shell) preservation in the sedimentary (eg …

Effects of heavy-metal contaminants (Cd, Pb, Zn) on benthic foraminiferal assemblages grown from propagules, Sapelo Island, Georgia (USA)
Benthic foraminifera have long served as indicators of environmental conditions–both
natural and anthropogenically impacted. To better understand the responses of benthic …
