Live benthic foraminiferal faunas from the Bay of Biscay: faunal density, composition, and microhabitats
TL;DR: The exported flux of organic matter appears to be the main parameter controlling the composition and the vertical distribution of benthic foraminiferal faunas below the sediment-water interface.
Book ChapterDOI
Chapter Seven Paleoceanographical Proxies Based on Deep-Sea Benthic Foraminiferal Assemblage Characteristics
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors focus on the paleoceanographic proxies based on deep-sea benthic foraminiferal assemblage characteristics, and present the following three proxy relationships that are promising: those between BFR faunas and BFR oxygenation, export productivity, and deep sea water mass characteristics.
Journal ArticleDOI
Seasonal and interannual variability of benthic foraminiferal faunas at 550 m depth in the Bay of Biscay
TL;DR: In this paper, live benthic foraminiferal faunas were sampled 10 times between October 1997 and April 2000 at a 550m depth open-slope station in the Bay of Biscay.
Journal ArticleDOI

TL;DR: Foraminifers (especially calcareous forms), nematodes, copepods, and ostracods have been used for predicting global changes as discussed by the authors, and taxonomic groups are used to find model organisms that help predict the future of life on our planet.
