Early Miocene larger benthic foraminifera from the northwestern Tethyan Seaway (NW Iran): new findings on Shallow Benthic Zone 25
Sign Up to like & getrecommendations! Published in 2021 at "International Journal of Earth Sciences"
DOI: 10.1007/s00531-021-01986-1
Abstract: The lower Miocene marine units of NW Iran (Hamedan–Miandoab area) were studied to establish a high-resolution biostratigraphy framework in the context of European standard biozonation (SBZ zonal scheme). The units are dominated by larger and… read more here.

The architecture and associated fauna of Perouvianella peruviana, an endemic larger benthic foraminifera from the Cenomanian–Turonian transition interval of central Peru

DOI: 10.1007/s10347-017-0514-z
Abstract: During the Cenomanian–Turonian transition interval, larger benthic foraminifera became extinct or suffered decreases in terms of their diversity. Anoxic/dysoxic conditions of oceanic bottom water masses and potentially seawater acidification during this pivotal time also affected… read more here.

DOI: 10.1016/j.cretres.2019.03.012
Abstract: Abstract Conventionally, foraminifera were divided into two separate planktic and benthic taxonomic groups. However, more recent molecular studies call this paradigm into question, showing that mode of life of foraminifera is not diagnostic of their… read more here.

DOI: 10.1016/j.gloplacha.2017.11.013
Abstract: The relationships between modern Arctic benthic foraminifera and their ecological controls, along with their sensitivity to rapid environmental changes, is still poorly understood. This study examines how modern benthic foraminifera respond to annual environmental changes… read more here.

DOI: 10.1016/j.gloplacha.2020.103372
Abstract: Abstract Benthic foraminifera are the most common meiofaunal unicellular deep-sea biota, forming skeletons used as proxies for past climate change. We aim to increase understanding of past non-analog oceans and ecosystems by evaluating deep-sea benthic… read more here.
