The oceans are losing oxygen (O 2), and oxygen minimum zones are expanding due to
climate warming (lower O 2 solubility) and eutrophication related to agriculture. This trend is …

Global warming and sea-level rise exert profound impacts on coastal mangrove ecosystems,
where widespread benthic crabs change sediment properties and regulate material cycles …

Abstract The “Great Acceleration” of the mid-20th century provides the causal mechanism of
the Anthropocene, which has been proposed as a new epoch of geological time beginning …

Benthic foraminifera showed a vertical zonation in tidally influenced salt marshes, which has
been used for sea level reconstructions. Growing evidence suggested that freshwater influx …

High input of organic carbon and/or slowly renewing bottom waters frequently create periods
with low dissolved oxygen concentrations on continental shelves and in coastal areas; such …

Some benthic foraminifera have the ability to incorporate functional chloroplasts from
diatoms (kleptoplasty). Our objective was to investigate chloroplast functionality of two …

Assimilation, sequestration and maintenance of foreign chloroplasts inside an organism is
termed “chloroplast sequestration” or “kleptoplasty”. This phenomenon is known in certain …

Benthic foraminiferal pores are considered to play an important role in facilitating the gas
exchange between the organism and the environment, with pore size and density supposed …

Lake Grevelingen is a former branch of the Rhine-Meuse-Scheldt estuary, which was
artificially transformed into a salt-water lake by a dam in 1971. This transformation induced …

Living Ammonia species and an inventory of dead assemblages from Adriatic subtidal,
nearshore environments were investigated at four stations off Bellaria, Italy. Ammonia …
