Foraminiferal species responses to in situ, experimentally induced anoxia in the Adriatic Sea

TL;DR: Anoxia was successfully induced in four benthic chambers installed at 24 m depth in the northern Adriatic Sea for periods varying from 9 days to 10 months as discussed by the authors.
Journal ArticleDOI

Vertical distribution and respiration rates of benthic foraminifera: Contribution to aerobic remineralization in intertidal mudflats covered by Zostera noltei meadows

TL;DR: On this intertidal mudflat, the foraminiferal contribution to aerobic carbon remineralization, based on respiration rate measurements, can account for up to 7% of the diffusive oxygen uptake, almost five times more than the maximum contribution recorded in open marine environments (300 m depth) in the Bay of Biscay.
Journal ArticleDOI

Survival of benthic foraminifera under hypoxic conditions: results of an experimental study using the CellTracker Green method.

TL;DR: An experimental study, in which benthic foraminiferal faunas have been kept under strongly hypoxic conditions, and it is suggested that this is a response to the concentration of nutritional resources at the sediment-water interface.
Journal ArticleDOI

Impact of oil-based drill mud disposal on benthic foraminiferal assemblages on the continental margin off Angola

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors studied the benthic foraminiferal faunas in a five-station, 4-km-long sampling transect around a cuttings disposal site at about 670m depth offshore Angola (W Africa), where drilling activities started 1.5 years before sampling.
Journal ArticleDOI

Foraminiferal microhabitats in a high marsh: Consequences for reconstructing past sea levels

TL;DR: Foraminiferal faunas of the high marsh of Plougoumelen, in the western part of the Gulf of Morbihan on the French Atlantic coast, have been studied in three successive sample sets taken in weekly intervals in April 2001 as discussed by the authors.
