Many foraminifera found refuge in or near the Southern Ocean around Antarctica. Another mass extinction started around 33.9 million years ago, caused by a big dip in temperatures in a period ...

Foraminifera are tiny single-celled organisms, either floating in the ocean surface or living on the seabed. Most of them build shells made of calcium carbonate to protect themselves.

The experts investigated how a species of foraminifera thrives in an oxygen-free, lightless, deep-sea habitat by employing a remarkable metabolic strategy: chemoautotrophy. Organisms in the depths of ...

What's happening? The ocean's planktonic foraminifera, microscopic animals with hard shells made of calcium carbonate, are struggling to survive as waters heat up and become more acidic. A new study ...

Migrating is not enough for modern planktonic foraminifera in a changing ocean. Nature, 2024; DOI: 10.1038/s41586-024-08191-5 ...

Foraminifera responded to both heavy and light oiling of marshes relative to unoiled control sites by changes to both standing stock and depth of habitation (DOH) in sediment following the 2010 ...

As such, mineralization of shells in Foraminifera is believed to follow two highly contrasting pathways. The current theory states that Miliolida, characterized by imperforate, opaque milky-white ...
