“…Their tests are either single-chambered (monothalamous) or multi-chambered (polythalamous) and range in size from a few tens of micrometers to 10 cm or more, although most are a few hundred micrometers in size. They exhibit an extraordinary range of morphologies (Figures 1 and 2), including spheres, flasks, branched or unbranched tubes, and chambers arranged in linear, biserial, triserial, or coiled (spiral) patterns (Loeblich and Tappan, 1987;SenGupta, 1999). In most species, the test has an aperture that assumes a variety of forms and is sometimes associated with a tooth-like structure.…”

“…The isotopic composition of foraminifera has been used extensively to infer paleoclimatic and paleoceanographic variations (Sen Gupta, 1991;Waelbroeck and others, 2005). The application of foraminiferal isotopic composition as a proxy for past climatic changes relies on the understanding of factors affecting the isotopic composition of foraminiferal tests (Bemis and others, 1998).…”

“…Both the estimates of the BFAR and the paleoproductivity support the first condition, whereas the higher proportion of C. wuellerstorfi, an indicator of current intensity on the sea floor (Schönfeld, 2002a), supports the second condition. However, more dynamic bottom currents could supply more oxygen at the bottom floor and, therefore favor the degradation of the OM by bacterial activity (Bernhard and Gupta, 1999;Smart, 2002). For this reason, the use of C. wuellerstorfi as a bottom current indicator is still controversial as this species is also considered to be an indicator of higher surface productivity (e.g.…”
