Foraminifera with an organic, or predominantly organic, test wall ('allogromiids' in the
traditional sense) are an important, diverse but often overlooked component of marine …

Fifty short sediment cores collected with a multiple corer and five box cores from the central
Arctic Ocean were analysed to study the ecology and distribution of benthic foraminifers. To …

Distinct cyclicity in lithology and microfaunal distribution in sediment cores from the
Mendeleev Ridge in the western Arctic Ocean (water depths ca. 1.5 km) reflects contrasting …

Following early hypotheses about the possible existence of Arctic ice shelves in the past,–,
the observation of specific erosional features as deep as 1,000 metres below the current sea …

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

Marine sediment core and seismic records from the Svyataya (Saint) Anna Trough provide
new insight into the distribution of Late Weichselian glacial coverage, ice retreat pattern, and …

Forty-six surface samples from the north Icelandic shelf and slope were analyzed with
respect to both living (stained) and total (living/stained+ dead/unstained) benthic …

Traces of the action of mechanical and chemical boring, scra** or crushing organisms on
hard substrates appear in fossil carbonates as old as the Precambrian, providing valuable …

Monothalamous foraminifera were abundant in sediment samples from fjords and offshore
areas around western Svalbard (water depth range 26–2472 m). The> 500 µm fractions of …
