Impact of single-cell organisms on sediment oxygen levels and bacterial diversity measured for the first time. Dr. Dewi Langlet, a scientist at the Evolution, Cell Biology and Symbiosis Unit at the ...

The study of the Foraminifera of the strata adjacent to the lithologic contact between the Austin and Taylor Groups (Upper Cretaceous) in north Texas is part of a program to determine what significant ...

Morphological characters of twelve Recent species of Nodosariinae (Foraminifera) are revised, using a large number of specimens collected in the North Atlantic. The species are assigned to four genera ...

A new study sheds light on how a species of foraminifera, single-celled organisms found in almost all marine habitats, thrives in a dark, oxygen-free environment. Most life on Earth relies on the ...

Foraminifera provide scientists with an invaluable fossil record. Their exquisite outer shells, normally too small for the naked eye, inspired sculptures in Zhongshan, China. Bilal Haq Bilal Haq, a ...

Benthic foraminifera are unicellular eukaryotes that inhabit marine sediments and play a pivotal role in nutrient cycling. Their remarkable physiological capabilities enable them to thrive in diverse ...

University of Delaware student Erin Leathrum spent her summer looking for coiling party hats atop cinnamon buns at the bottom of the ocean. Not literal party hats and cinnamon buns, mind you, but ...

Foraminifera are single-celled marine protozoa that construct and inhabit a calcium carbonate shell composed of several chambers. These chambers are usually penetrated by pores through which the ...

Plankton don't get nearly the respect they deserve. These tiny organisms (phytoplankton being plant-like cells that produce much of the world’s oxygen, zooplankton being little animals) float around ...

Ancient rock deposits, laid down between two massive ice ages, reveal the oldest known fossils for two types of single-celled creatures: Tube-shelled foraminifera and hairy, vase-shape ciliates. Both ...
