== BENTHIC FORAMINIFERA IN TEMPERATE CORALS  ==

[[Image:JFR_cover.gif‎|left|80px| ]]<font size="2"> Foraminiferal and sedimentary analyses were performed on upper Pliocene exposures in the Almería-Níjar basin of southeastern Spain to determine its depositional history. The composite stratigraphic section reveals that, during the late Pliocene, a restricted coastal bay with coral banks was being filled with the siliciclastic sediments of prograding fan deltas. In the lower part of the Rambla Quebrada section, fine-grained sediments with ''Cibicides refulgens'', ''Cibicidoides pseudoungerianus'', ''Cibicidoides bradyi'', ''Asterigerinata'' spp., ''Lobatula lobatula'', ''Rosalina globularis'', ''Textularia'' sp., ''Lenticulina calcar'', and carinate elphidiids indicate deposition in a distal part of the bay where water depths were relatively deeper than those along the coast, and where the marine influence was greatest. Epiphytic species (i.e., ''Elphidium'' spp., ''Cibicides refulgens'', ''Lobatula lobatula'', ''Rosalina globularis'', and ''Asterigerinata'' spp.) dominate in the lower part of the section and suggest that the distal substrate was densely vegetated. In contrast, the upper part of the Rambla Quebrada section is dominated by taxa characteristic of very shallow brackish environments, notably ''Ammonia'' spp. and noncarinate elphidiids. The relative abundance of epiphytic foraminiferal species decreases considerably up-section as a consequence of fan-delta progradation, which led to an increase in water turbidity and the influence of freshwater. Mud-dwellers (i.e., ''Reussella spinulosa'' and ''Nonion asterizans'') inhabiting soft bottoms dominate in the middle-to-upper part of the studied sections. Here, ''Cancris auriculus'', ''Nonion asterizans'', and ''Cassidulina neocarinata'' are also locally abundant. These species are usually abundant on substrata with high contents of organic matter, which in this study could be attributed to the increased nutrient flow from the fan deltas prograding into the basin. Higher in the section, varve-like laminae that include species known to be tolerant of disoxia (i.e., ''Bulimina aculeata'' and ''Fursenkoina acuta'') indicate that geomorphic restriction of the bay weakened the mixing of marine and fresh water, which allowed its water column to stratify and develop low-oxygen bottom conditions.<font size="2">([http://www.jfr.geoscienceworld.org/cgi/content/abstract/40/1/61 ABSTRACT])

== FORAMINIFERA-BASED TRANSFER FUNCTION  ==

[[Image:Quaternary_Research_front.gif|left|80px| ]]<font size="2"> We assessed the performance of a transfer function model for sea-level studies using salt-marsh foraminiferafrom two estuaries of northern Portugal. An independent data set of 12 samples and 13 sub-fossil samples from a core were used to evaluate if reconstructions and errors derived from current models are adequate. ...... Results derived from a reconstruction of sub-fossil samples from a core indicate that high-resolution sea-level reconstructions are possible, but show that depositional environments have to be selected carefully in order to minimize the impact of possible taphonomical loss.

== EVOLUTIONARY CLASSIFICATION OF WHITEINELLIDS  ==

[[Image:JMicro_front.gif|left|80px| ]]<font size="2"> A new genus, <I>Fingeria</I>, is recognized among the globular-chambered trochospiral planktic foraminifera of the Upper Cretaceous (upper Cenomanian–lower Campanian). It consists of two pre-existing species: <I>F. loetterlei</I> (Nauss, 1947) and <I>F. kingi</I> (Trujillo, 1960). The ornamentation consists of scattered pustules, which can often fuse to form rugosities and, occasionally, costellae, especially over the earlier chambers of the test. Meridional ornamentation pattern is occasionally developed over isolated chambers. <I>Fingeria</I> is the only lineage of the whiteinellid stock that exhibits ornamentation coarsening and preferential orientation, which can be meridional or parallel to the periphery.

== HOLOTYPES IN THE TAXONOMY OF FORAMINIFERAL MORPHOSPECIES  ==

[[Image:Marine_Micropaleontology_Front.gif|left|80px| ]]<font size="2"> The claim that holotypes serve as exemplars of morphology is examined in the context of planktonic foraminiferal taxonomy. A review of some species described over the past 90 years suggests that holotypes are selected subjectively, presumably guided by authors’ conceptions of diagnostic characters. ...... Commonly, type specimens are among the earliest recognized in a taxon and are selected prior to an understanding of its biogeography. Because taxa are distributed in niches within and among water masses in the global ocean, and are quite variable, holotypes are unlikely to be suitable as taxon- wide exemplars. Yet that is their present role. Population variation is under-reported in the literature. Selection of exemplars should be based on species-wide morphometric surveys of populations.

== LIVE BENTHIC FORAMINIFERA IN A CANYON  ==

[[Image:DeepSeaResearch_I_front.gif|left|80px| ]]<font size="2"> Living (Rose Bengal stained) benthic foraminifera were investigated at 18 deep-sea stations sampled in the Whittard Canyon area (NE Atlantic). The stations were positioned along 4 bathymetric transects ranging from 300 to 3000 m depth...... Foraminiferal abundance was positively correlated with diffusive oxygen uptake and phytopigment concentration in the sediment. This suggests a control of organic matter fluxes on the foraminiferal communities. ...... The silty/sandy intercalations at many of the deeper canyon stations may have been rapidly deposited by fairly recent gravity flows. At station 51WB (3002m), the faunal characteristics (strong dominance, shallow infaunal microhabitats) suggest that the foraminiferal community is in an early state of ecosystem colonization after these recent sedimentation events, which would have supplied the important amounts of phytopigments.

== CHLOROPLAST HUSBANDARY AND KLEPTOPLASTIDY IN FORAMINIFERA  ==

[[Image:Protist_front.gif|left|80px| ]]<font size="2"> ...... We identified the foraminiferal kleptochloroplasts using a reference phylogeny made of 87 chloroplastic sequences of known species of diatoms and brown algae. All the analyzed specimens were performing kleptoplastidy and according to our phylogenetic analyses they seem to retain exclusively chloroplasts of diatom origin. There is no apparent specificity for the type of diatom from which chloroplasts originated, however some foraminiferal species seem to accept a wider range of diatoms than others. Possibly the diversity of kleptochloroplasts depends on the type of diatoms the foraminiferans feed on.

== THE FIDELITY OF SHELL-DERIVED δ<SUP>18</SUP>O<SUB>seawater</SUB> ESTIMATES  ==

[[Image:EarthPlanetarySciLetters_front.gif|left|80px| ]]<font size="2"> ...... We assess the fidelity of shell-derived δ<SUP>18</SUP>O<SUB>seawater</SUB> estimates for the surface-dwelling foraminifer <i>Globigerinoides ruber</i> (white) using an Atlantic meridional coretop transect spanning basin-scale temperature and salinity gradients. Shell-derived and observed δ<SUP>18</SUP>O<SUB>seawater</SUB> values are well correlated (r<sup>2</sup> = 0.77), but a large systematic bias is observed. Shell Mg/Ca ratios are significantly elevated above values expected from observed and isotopic calcification temperatures in the saline subtropical gyres of both hemispheres. This temperature-independent shell Mg/Ca ratio variability, termed “excess Mg/Ca”, is highly correlated with surface salinity (r<sup>2</sup> = 0.77), and the observed salinity dependence (27 ± 4%) is much higher than indicated by culture studies (6 ± 2%). ......  these results point to a strongly non-linear, positive salinity effect on shell Mg/Ca ratios that significantly affects the accuracy of SST and δ<SUP>18</SUP>O<SUB>seawater</SUB> estimates in high salinity settings (> 35).

== Mg/Ca IN <i>Globorotalia inflata</i> AND <i>Globigerinoides bulloides</i>  ==

[[Image:Marine_Micropaleontology_Front.gif|left|80px| ]]<font size="2"> Due to its strong gradient in salinity and small temperature gradient the Mediterranean provides an ideal setting to study the impact of salinity on the incorporation of Mg into foraminiferal tests. ......Our results provide new perspectives on reported anomalously high Mg/Ca in sedimentary foraminifera and the applicability of the Mg/Ca paleothermometry in high salinity settings, by showing that (1) part of the signal is generated by precipitation of inorganic calcite on the foraminifer test due to increased calcite saturation state of the water and (2) species with high surface-to-volume shell surfaces are potentially more affected by secondaryMg-rich calcite encrustation.

Study of an upper Santonian to upper Campanian hemipelagic succession from the southern part of the Romanian Eastern Carpathians enables us to establish an integrated biostratigraphy based on planktonic foraminifera and calcareous nannofossils and to compare this record with the agglutinated foraminiferal biozonation used for the Carpathians. ...... Benthic foraminiferal assemblages were investigated using several methods, such as agglutinated and calcareous benthic foraminiferal morphogroups, and the benthic foraminiferal oxygen index in order to determine their response to environmental parameters in the basin (correlated with sea-level maxima documented by regional sea-level curves for the Tethys). ...... The variations in tubular and deep infaunal morphotypes of agglutinated foraminifera are ascribed to varying levels of organic carbon flux.

== PALAEOZOIC FORAMINIFERA ==

[[Image:RevueDeMicropaleontologie_front.gif|left|80px| ]]<font size="2"> ...... the systematics, evolution and ecological behaviour of the first mineralized Palaeozoic Foraminifera are important to discuss in order to have a clearer picture of former shallow marine environments, and finally understand their distribution through space and time. The systematics of the fossil group of Foraminifera that first developed a mineralized test remains under discussion. These early foraminifers are considered as Textulariata (as generally admitted), recrystallized Fusulinata or an independent group, sometimes called Astrorhizata. In this paper, we argue to assign the early foraminifers to the Fusulinata, and to subdivide this class into six orders: Parathuramminida, Archaediscida and Earlandiida (forming together the subclass Afusulinana n. subcl.), and Tournayellida, Endothyrida and Fusulinida (subclass Fusulinana nom. translat.). These subdivisions are discussed and linked to the first occurrences of the later classes: Miliolata, Nodosariata and Textulariata.

[[Image:Marine_Micropaleontology_Front.gif|left|80px| ]]<font size="2"> Foraminifera from the coral-reef lagoons of two atolls are used to investigate the distribution and diversity of assemblages in the central Indian Ocean. Eight assemblages and 270 species of foraminifera are identified. Three assemblages are reefal and dominated by Amphistegina and Calcarina. Only one lagoon assemblage is present in both atolls, which is characterized by abundant Ammonia sp. 1 and smaller miliolid foraminifera. ......  The assemblages compare well with sedimentological characteristics, which is also reflected in their distributions. Species diversity in the Maldives appears to be higher than the western Indian Ocean region due to the stronger influence of central Indo-Pacific faunas. It is not however, as high as the central Indo-Pacific region, which may be due to lower habitat diversity.

[[Image:J_Sea_Research_Front.gif|left|80px| ]]<font size="2">In this paper, we investigate the ecology of live (rose Bengal stained) benthic foraminifera collected at 20 stations ranging from 15 to 100 m depth in the Rhône prodelta (Gulf of Lions, NW Mediterranean). These sites were sampled in September 2006, five months after the Rhône River annual flood. Statistical analyses based on foraminiferal communities (N150 µm) divide our study area into six main biofacies directly related to environmental conditions. ...... We also compare foraminiferal faunas sampled in September 2006 with communities sampled in June 2005, one month after the Rhône River annual flood (Mojtahid et al., 2009). This comparison suggests that opportunistic species (e.g. B. aculeata, Cassidulina carinata, V. bradyana) have responded to organic matter inputs related to marine primary production in June 2005.

== THE RATE OF 20TH CENTURY SEA LEVEL RISE ==

[[Image:Quaternary_Research_front.gif|left|80px| ]]<font size="2">We collected a set of surface samples from two salt marshes in the Morbihan Golfe, France to determine foraminiferal distribution patterns ...... developed a foraminifera-based transfer function using a modern training set of 36 samples and 23 species. ...... The agreement between the foraminifera-based sea level curve and the Brest tide-gauge record confirms the reliability of transfer function estimates and the validity of this methodology to extend sea level reconstructions back into the pre-instrumental period. Both instrumental and microfossil records suggest an acceleration of sea level rise during the 20th century.

The diverse metabolic capacity of these organisms, which enables them to respire with oxygen and nitrate and to sustain respiratory activity even when electron acceptors are absent from the environment, may be one of the reasons for their successful colonization of diverse marine sediment environments.
