| + | We describe the spatial distribution of recent benthic foraminifer assemblages from the western area of the Basque shelf in relation with some environmental parameters. A total of 138 species have been identified, being the most abundant Cassidulina laevigata, Gaudryina rudis, Lobatula lobatula, Rosalina globularis and Textularia sagittula. Multivariate analyses (cluster Q-type and Detrended and Canonical Correspondence Analysis) performed with the benthic foraminifers of these samples show the separation of two main groups of species related with the sediment grain size: (1) coarse to very coarse sand and (2) medium sand and sandy silt. Seven clusters are characterised by their typical foraminifer assemblage and average values of particular parameters: clay-silt content of the sediment, depth, and percentage of foraminifer species indicative of hypoxia. The main features of marine currents of the area are reflected by these foraminifer assemblages. ...... | ||
