Journal ArticleDOI
A conceptual model explaining benthic foraminiferal microhabitats
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors present a conceptual model which explains benthic foraminiferal microhabitat preferences in terms of differences in the downward organic flux in the sediment.
Journal ArticleDOI
Effects of natural and human-induced hypoxia on coastal benthos

TL;DR: Large areas of low oxygen persist seasonally or continuously beneath upwelling regions, associated with the upper parts of oxygen minimum zones (SE Pacific, W Africa, N Indian Ocean), and support a resident fauna that is adapted to survive and reproduce at oxygen concentrations.
Journal ArticleDOI
Magnitudes of sea-level lowstands of the past 500,000 years
TL;DR: In this article, an isotope-based method was used to estimate sea level and global ice-volume from the recent geological past using fossil coral-reef terraces or oxygen-isotope records from benthic foraminifera.
Journal ArticleDOI
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.
