“…Moreover, concentrations higher than 2000 ppm did not prevent the ability of foraminifera to colonize the substrates. According to [50], this largely supports the idea that it is not the total concentration of Cu (or any kind of trace element) within sediments that affects foraminifera, but the fraction of the element that is bioavailable. The present study can be regarded as complementary to long-term field studies and culture experiments, since the experimental period might have been too short to monitor a potential ecological succession of the assemblage.…”

“…Their abundance and widespread preservation in marine sediments, short life cycles, high taxonomic diversity, easy collection methods and their sensitivity to environmental conditions, have allowed foraminifers to be commonly applied in palaeoecological and historical reconstructions (Cushman, 1928;Murray, 1991;Natland, 1933;Scott et al, 2005). Increasingly, foraminifers are gaining worldwide recognition as a promising tool: for establishing baseline conditions (Alve et al, 2009); in standard water quality monitoring (Bouchet et al, 2012;Reymond et al, 2012;Sabean et al, 2009;Schönfeld et al, 2012); and in establishing ecological quality status (EcoQs) (Bouchet et al, 2012). Large benthic foraminifers (LBFs), prominent calcium carbonate sediment producers in tropical/subtropical reefs, live in symbiosis with algae (Hallock, 1981(Hallock, , 1999(Hallock, , 2000.…”

“…Benthic foraminifera are important in benthic carbon remineralisation and cycling of other nutrients (Gooday et al 1992). They are also important in monitoring pollution in modern seas and marginal marine environments (Alve et al 2016) and down-core studies can be used to reconstruct ecological conditions prior to the onset of pollution to aid remediation (Alve et al 2009). Furthermore, foraminifera are widely used in palaeoceanographic reconstructions, especially using material from deep-sea drilling (Gooday & Jorissen 2012), and for reconstructing past environments in petroleum exploration (e.g.…”
