The ecological quality status of the NE region of the Guanabara Bay (SE Brazil), one of the
most important Brazilian embayments, is evaluated. For this purpose, sediment samples …

Due to the Arctic amplification effect, the Svalbard archipelago is an important area for
studying ongoing environmental changes. However, its marine ecosystem is extremely …

The organic matter (OM) of surface sediments (0–2 cm) from the Santos Basin was
characterized by employing elemental (C, N, P), isotopic (δ 13C and δ 15N), biochemical …

This study aimed to characterize the spatial distribution and composition of living Benthic
Foraminifera (BF) and to comprehend how environmental conditions (eg, organic matter) …

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

This study presents new quantitative data on benthic foraminifera from three bathymetric
transects of the Brazil (11-14° S, 420-1900 m) and Campos (22° S, 430-2000 m) basins. The …

Analyses of benthic foraminiferal assemblages were carried out on sediment samples
collected in the Gulf of Patti (NE Sicily, Tyrrhenian Sea), where high sedimentation rates in …

In this study, we examined the relationship between sea surface temperature (SST) and
phytoplankton abundance in coastal regions of the Brazilian South Atlantic: São Paulo …

Dissolved oxygen, a vital parameter for a majority of marine organisms, may decline in the
near future due to anthropogenic eutrophication in coastal waters. The effect of depleting …

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 …
