To understand the main environmental factors controlling the benthic foraminiferal
distribution along continental slopes, and corroborate paleoenvironmental interpretations …

Abstract The Sepetiba Bay (SB, SE Brazil) is a highly anthropized and industrialized area
that has experienced severe environmental degradation in recent decades. This study …

The complex topography of submarine canyons may result in different composition of
benthic foraminifera assemblages. To understand how trophic, hydrological and …

The distribution of benthic foraminifera and the assemblage dynamics were analysed on
piston core GL-54 to understand the changes in paleoecology since Marine Isotopic Stage 5 …

This work is based on a compilation of benthic foraminiferal data collected in the Aveiro
Lagoon and in the adjacent continental shelf and upper slope (center of Portugal). It intends …

Living (rose Bengal stained) benthic foraminiferal faunas, grain size, geochemical
parameters (total organic matter, chlorophyll-a, pheophytin-a, molecular markers, and …

This study investigates the relationship between the vertical flux of particulate organic matter
(POM) and the biomass of living benthic foraminifera in a region at the continental slope of …

Benthic and planktonic foraminifera faunal and stable isotopic (δ 18 O and δ 13 C) analyses
on foraminiferal tests were carried out on a piston core, collected from the Campos Basin …

There is a gap in knowledge about the biodiversity of living foraminifera (protozoa) in Brazil,
particularly in coastal environments. In Sepetiba Bay (SE Brazil), a coastal system highly …

Foraminifera are eukaryotic unicellular microorganisms inhabiting all marine environments.
The study of these protists has huge potential implications and benefits. They are good …
