In order to assess the response of benthic foraminifera to trace element pollution, a study of
benthic foraminiferal assemblages was carried out into sediment samples collected from the …

Benthic foraminifera are increasingly used as environmental bio-indicators of pollution in
coastal and marginal marine settings. Their community structure provides information on the …

Species composition in the present-day Amazonian heartland has an imprint of past marine
influence. The exact nature, timing and extent of this marine influence, however, are largely …

New data support our previously published propagule dispersal hypothesis and show that
propagules of some benthic foraminiferal species can survive for two years before growth …

Living benthic foraminiferal assemblages were studied in surface samples collected from the
lagoon of Venice (Italy) in order to investigate the relationship between these sensitive …

The effect of graded concentrations of copper was analyzed at morphological and
cytological levels on two species of Ammonia (foraminifera) often found in polluted areas …

Cigarette butts are the most common form of litter in the world and their environmental
impact is related to both persistence and potential toxic effects for chemical composition. The …
