Large benthic Foraminifera (LBF) are major carbonate producers on coral reefs, and are
hosts to a diverse symbiotic microbial community. During warm episodes in the geological …

New data support our previously published propagule dispersal hypothesis and show that
propagules of some benthic foraminiferal species can survive for two years before growth …

Large benthic foraminifera are significant contributors to sediment formation on coral reefs,
yet they are vulnerable to ocean acidification. Here, we assessed the biochemical and …

Large benthic foraminifera (LBF) are crucial marine calcifiers in coral reefs, and sensitive to
environmental changes. Yet, many species successfully colonise a wide range of habitats …

Coral reefs are in terminal decline. For conservation to be effective, naturally depauperate
reefs must be distinguished from those recently degraded by humans. Traditional reef …

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 …

Human activity is changing environmental conditions on a global scale. Among the
ecosystems that are affected by human activities, coral reefs are among the most prominent …

The acute effects of zinc (Zn) were evaluated in the symbiont-bearing foraminifer
Amphistegina lessonii from the Fernando de Noronha Archipelago (Northeastern Brazil) …

The spatial and temporal distribution and diversity of sediment-dwelling foraminifera are
reasonably well known, but encrusting (hard-substrate dwelling) foraminifera are little …

In the cold-temperate setting of the Swedish Kosterfjord area, experimental carbonate and
PVC substrates were deployed for a 6, 12 and 24-month duration along a transect from …
