To introduce the special issue this paper reviews the use of protists as bioindicators. Seven
key advantages of protist bioindicators are highlighted, namely: environmental sensitivity …

Coastal ecosystems are subjected to both large natural variability and increasing
anthropogenic impact on environmental parameters such as changes in salinity …

Harbors are hubs of human activity and are subject to the continuous discharge and release
of industrial, agricultural, and municipal waste and contaminants. Benthic organisms are …

The main goal of this study is to reconstruct the paleoceanographic development of
Storfjorden during the Neoglacial (∼ 4 cal ka BP). Storfjorden is one of the most important …

Recent advances in molecular phylogeny and increasing numbers of studies carried out
worldwide in subtidal and deep-water marine sites have confirmed that monothalamid …

Single-chambered (monothalamous) foraminifera are poorly known compared to their
multichambered relatives. In this first study of monothalamids from Greenland, we describe …

The current study reveals the presence of both “soft-shelled monothalamous” Foraminifera
(Saccamminidae and Allogromiidae families) and Cercozoa (Gromiidae family) for the first …

Psammophaga fuegiais a new monothalamid foraminifera discovered in surface sediment
samples in the Beagle Channel, South America. The species is a member of the important …

The taxonomic and quantitative composition of the meiobenthos, with an emphasis on
foraminifera and gromiids were studied on the coast of Primorsky krai, northwestern part of …

We describe the population density, biodiversity and vertical distribution in the sediment of
benthic foraminifera, and their relationship to environmental parameters, in the Kveithola …
