Two-dimensional distribution of living benthic foraminifera in anoxic sediment layers of an estuarine mudflat (Loire estuary, France)

Abstract: Abstract. We present a new rapid and accurate protocol to simultaneously sample benthic living foraminifera in two dimensions in a centimetre-scale vertical grid and dissolved iron and phosphorus in two dimensions at high resolution (200 μm). Such an approach appears crucial for the study of foraminiferal ecology in highly dynamic and heterogeneous sedimentary systems, where dissolved iron shows a strong variability at the centimetre scale. On the studied intertidal mudflat of the Loire estuary, foraminiferal … Show more

“…mainly from diatoms (Lopez, 1979;Knight and Mantoura, 1985;Grzymski et al, 2002;Goldstein, 2004). This was confirmed by experimental feeding studies (Correia and Lee, 2002a;Austin et al, 2005) and by molecular analysis of kleptoplastic foraminifera from different environments (Pillet et al, 2011;Tsuchiya et al, 2015). Foraminifera from intertidal mudflat environments (e.g.…”

“…estuaries, bays, lagoons) A. tepida and H. germanica are usually the dominant meiofauna species in West Atlantic French coast mudflats (Debenay et al, 2000Morvan et al, 2006;Bouchet et al, 2009;Pascal et al, 2009;Thibault de Chanvalon et al, 2015). Their vertical distribution in the sediment is characterised by a clear maximum density at the surface (Alve and Murray, 2001;Bouchet et al, 2009;Thibault de Chanvalon et al, 2015) with access to light, followed by a sharp decrease in the next two centimetres (Thibault de Chanvalon et al, 2015).…”

“…In photic shallow-water habitats (e.g., estuaries, bays, lagoons and other intertidal or shallow-water subtidal areas), kleptoplastic benthic foraminiferal species, such as Haynesina germanica, Elphidium williamsoni, the "excavatum" species complex (e.g., E. oceanense, E. selseyense, see Darling et al (2016)), or Ammonia spp., are often the dominant mudflat foraminiferal taxa (Debenay et al, 2000;Debenay et al, 2006;Morvan et al, 2006;Bouchet et al, 2009;Pascal et al, 2009;Thibault de Chanvalon et al, 2015;Cesbron et al, 2016). Their vertical distribution is characterized by a clear maximum density in the upper oxygenated millimeters of the sediment (Alve and Murray, 2001;Bouchet et al, 2009;Thibault de Chanvalon et al, 2015;Cesbron et al, 2016), where light can also penetrate (Kuhl et al, 1994;Cartaxana et al, 2011).…”

However, in some kleptoplastic species (e.g., the morphospecies A. tepida and E. excavatum) kleptoplasts lack photosynthetic activity (Lopez, 1979;Jauffrais et al, 2016), and in many other kleptoplastic species, the photosynthetic activity has not yet been assessed and/or quantified.…”
