As “ecosystem engineers,” framework-forming scleractinian cold-water corals (CWC) build
reefs that are unique biodiversity hotspots in the deep sea. Studies using common biological …

Genetic characterisation (SSU rRNA genotyping) and Scanning Electron Microscope (SEM)
imaging of individual tests were used in tandem to determine the modern species richness …

Cold‐water coral (CWC) reefs and mounds are and have been biodiversity hotspots of the
deep sea. As their occurrence depends on specific environmental parameters, gaining …

The genetic diversity, morphology and biogeography of Ammonia specimens was
investigated across the Northeast (NE) Atlantic margins, to enhance the regional (palaeo) …

Coastal marine settings are important in terms of geochemical cycles and biological
productivity. Climate change is predicted to affect coastal environment via hypoxia and …

We have examined the possible use of Mn/Ca ratios in benthic foraminifera as a proxy for
hypoxia, which has increasingly become a serious environmental issue in many coastal …

Benthic foraminiferal tests are widely used for paleoceanographic reconstructions from a
range of different environments with varying dissolved oxygen concentrations in the bottom …

Current climate and environmental changes strongly affect shallow marine and coastal
areas like the Baltic Sea. This has created a need for a context to understand the severity …

Oxygen depletion threatens an increasing number of shallow water environments,
specifically habitats below the seasonal halocline in coastal settings of the Baltic Sea. To …

Investigations of the metabolic capabilities of anaerobic protists advances our
understanding of the evolution of eukaryotic life on Earth and for uncovering analogous …
