Book
Ecology and Applications of Benthic Foraminifera
TL;DR: This book presents the ecological background required to explain how fossil forms are used in dating rocks and reconstructing past environmental features including changes of sea level and demonstrates how living foraminifera can be used to monitor modern-day environmental change.
Book
Ecology and palaeoecology of benthic foraminifera
TL;DR: In this article, the authors studied population dynamics relationship between living and dead assemblages in the Atlantic seaboard of North America gulf of Mexico and Caribbean Atlantic SEABoard of South America Atlantic SEBoard of Europe and Africa Atlantic ocean Mediterranean Indian ocean western margin of the Pacific ocean eastern margin of Pacific ocean Pacific ocean Southern ocean Arctic ocean summary of modern distribution patterns and characteristics of assemblage palaeoecology.

TL;DR: The first major horizon of ice-rafting occurred at about 2.4 Myr, and was preceded by a minor pulse of icerafting at 2.5 Myr as discussed by the authors, and the carbon isotope record shows that the site has been bathed by a water mass of similar characteristics to present-day North Atlantic deep water at least since 3.5
Journal ArticleDOI
Mortality, protoplasm decay rate, and reliability of staining techniques to recognize ‘living’ foraminifera: a review
John W. Murray,Samuel S. Bowser +1 more
TL;DR: From comparative studies, it seems that the most commonly used technique (staining with rose Bengal) is as reliable as others, and for most other environments, the problem of staining dead individuals is almost certainly overstated.
