Plastic has become one of the most ubiquitous and environmentally threatening sources of
pollution in the Anthropocene. Beyond the conspicuous visual impact and physical …

Foraminifera are commonly applied as essential tools for relative time control and
reconstructions of paleo/environmental conditions. These single-celled organisms leave in …

Large benthic foraminifera are major carbonate components in tropical carbonate platforms,
important carbonate producers, stratigraphic tools and powerful bioindicators (proxies) of …

Cigarette butts are the most common form of litter in the world and their environmental
impact is related to both persistence and potential toxic effects for chemical composition. The …

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 …

Pronounced warming negatively impacts ecosystem resilience in modern oceans. To offer a
long‐term geological perspective of the calcareous plankton response to global warming …

Benthic foraminiferal assemblages from 19 superficial marine sediment samples of a coastal
area in the Ligurian Sea were analysed for benthic foraminifera in order to recognize …

Benthic foraminifera have long served as indicators of environmental conditions–both
natural and anthropogenically impacted. To better understand the responses of benthic …

Heavy metal pollution originating from anthropogenic sources, eg mining, industry and
extensive land use, is increasing in many parts of the world and influences coastal marine …

This paper aims to compare two foraminiferal based biotic indices generally used to
evaluate the ecological quality status (EcoQS): the Foram-AMBI and the Foram Stress Index …
