This review provides a synthesis of current knowledge on the morphological and functional
traits of testate amoebae, a polyphyletic group of protists commonly used as proxies of past …

The existing problems regarding the phylogenetic resolution of Ediacaran macroscopic
organisms stem from a failure to factor-in the information captured through different …

Over the last centuries, coastal areas have experienced dramatic degradations of their
environmental quality, which has led to a huge reduction of marine biodiversity. The …

The significance of biogenic silicon (BSi) for Si cycling in terrestrial biogeosystems has been
acknowledged since decades. Its importance originates from the fact that BSi generally is …

On the basis of the available databases including 700 sampling stations from subtidal to salt
marsh areas, the purpose of this paper is to synthesise the regional distribution of living …

A multiproxy approach based on benthic foraminifera, sediment grain-size, total organic
carbon content, major and trace element concentrations, and radionuclide activities was …

Eukaryotic microbial diversity is known to be extensive but remains largely undescribed and
uncharted. While much of this unknown diversity is composed of inconspicuous flagellates …

The shallow water benthic foraminiferal and ostracod assemblages of the Gulf of Pozzuoli,
located in the central Tyrrhenian Sea, were studied to investigate the relationship between …

There is little knowledge about testate amoebae in lakes and their responses to volcanic
eruptions. To address this knowledge gap, we studied the paleoecology of these protists in a …

We used sedimentological and foraminiferal characteristics of four sedimentary cores,
supported by paleogeographical and historical data, to reconstruct the depositional history …
