TL;DR: Combined fossil and molecular genetic data indicate that this genus, as traditionally understood, is polyphyletic, and a new genus Trilobatus is erected for the trilobus group (type species Globigerina triloba Reuss) and amended Globoturborotalita and Globigerinoides to clarify morphology and wall textures of these genera.

TL;DR: This study investigates the marine environment in the proximity of the phosphate industries of Gabes and the coastal marine environment on the eastern coast of Djerba, without phosphate industry and reveals clear differentiations in pollution and eutrophication.

TL;DR: Substantial evidence is shown for sustained CWC growth during the Alleröd-Younger-Dryas in the Eastern Alboran Sea and that this period corresponds to stable benthic conditions with cold/dense and well oxygenated bottom waters, high fluxes of labile organic matter and relatively strong bottom currents.

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors applied five biotic indices based on living (stained) benthic foraminiferal assemblages to assess ecological conditions in a wide area of the Mediterranean Sea in the heavily polluted Gulf of Gabes and along the western and eastern coasts of the Djerba Island, with the eastern coast considered as “pristine”.

TL;DR: Quantitative analysis of the coral fragments indicates a positive correlation with stations characterized by positive bathymetric anomalies and suggests the presence of probable small-scaled (up to 4 m high) biogenic build-ups composed mainly of coral colonies and bryozoans in the Gulf of Gabes.
