Frans Jorissen

TL;DR: Jorissen et al. as discussed by the authors presented a high-resolution biochronology for the Late Quaternary of the central Mediterranean using Accelerator Mass Spectrometry (AMS) t4C dating.

TL;DR: The results show that some deep-sea species can actively migrate along the sediment column to reach their favourite microhabitat and suggest that changes in oxygen content are mainly responsible for those migrations.

TL;DR: In this article, a comparison of live and dead benthic foraminiferal faunas in a five-station sample transect off Cape Blanc suggests that interspecific differences in living/dead (L/D) ratios are to a large extent determined by seasonal differences in reproduction.

TL;DR: In this paper, the results were compared with estimated values of the downward organic flux and measured bottom water oxygen concentrations, and it was suggested that this relationship can be used on a local scale as a proxy for paleo-export production.

TL;DR: In this article, a study of benthic foraminiferal faunas from the outer continental shelf off Congo (tropical West Africa), with the aim to determine the impact of the discharge of oily drill cuttings on the sea floor environment, to judge the regenerating capacity of the benthics ecosystem, and to investigate the possibility to develop an environmental monitoring method for open marine continental shelf environments, based on benthicity foraminifera.
