− | [http:// | + | Most of experiments focus on culture experiments of living foraminifers in aquaria and are conducted ''in vivo'' in small glass containers. Such experiments search for behavioral and/or morphologic responses of foraminifers to changing conditions, such as food supply, salinity and temperature fluctuations, substrate effect etc. |
