DOI: 10.1002/ece3.9549
Abstract: Abstract Monitoring community composition of Foraminifera (single‐celled marine protists) provides valuable insights into environmental conditions in marine ecosystems. Despite the efficiency of environmental DNA (eDNA) and bulk‐sample DNA (bulk‐DNA) metabarcoding to assess the presence of… read more here.

DOI: 10.1038/srep45227
Abstract: 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 including highly fluctuating environments. We tested the combined effects… read more here.

DOI: 10.1098/rsos.231280
Abstract: Climate change is predicted to negatively impact calcification and change the structural integrity of biogenic carbonates, influencing their protective function. We assess the impacts of warming on the morphology and crystallography of Amphistegina lobifera, an… read more here.
