ABSTRACT In the Mio-Pliocene calcareous sandstone slabs used as capstones at La
Pastora tholos in the Copper Age megasite of Valencina de la Concepción-Castilleja de …

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

The most often dispersed environmental pollutants that are released both directly and
indirectly into the environment that may eventually reach aquatic ecosystems and …

This study examines larger and smaller benthic foraminiferal assemblages at six localities
from western Arabian Gulf, documenting their diversity, abundance, and morphological …

Aim A key paradigm of deep‐sea ecology is that the ocean interior is a food‐limited
environment, which limits the faunal growth. Here, we estimated the efficiency of deep‐sea …

Biogeographical patterns are increasingly modified by the human-driven translocation of
species, a process that accelerated several centuries ago. Observational datasets, however …

This study focuses on the distribution of benthic foraminifera along the Iranian coast of the
Gulf, extending over 1000 km from the northeast close to Shatt Al-Arab/Arvand Rud to the …

The present study sought to quantitatively characterize the live and dead benthic
foraminifera communities of the deep southeastern Levantine basin of the Mediterranean …

Abstract The Red Sea is globally recognized for its exceptional diversity of marine
environments despite relatively high salinities (39–41). Unfortunately, as elsewhere …

Benthic foraminifera, predominantly marine unicellular organisms, are abundant and
diverse. Their tests with intricate and varied surface ornamentation make them unique and …
