Benthic foraminiferal response to changes in mining pattern: a case study from the Zuari estuary, Goa, India
(Springer, 2017)
Being sensitive to environmental changes, foraminifera have been extensively used to monitor pollution level in the marine environment, including the effect of mining in coastal areas. In the Goa state of India, the rejects ...
Regeneration and abnormality in benthic foraminifer Rosalina leei: Implications in reconstructing past salinity changes
(Universita' degli Studi di Milano, 2011)
A laboratory culture experiment has been conducted to assess the response of marginal marine benthic foraminifer Rosalina leei to salinity and associated pH changes. Live specimens of Rosalina leei were subjected to a range ...
Effect of salinity induced pH/alkalinity changes on benthic foraminifera: A laboratory culture experiment
(Elsevier, 2015)
The salinity of coastal waters in the vicinity of seasonally fresh water fed estuaries changes tremendously and reportedly affects the living calcite secreting organisms like foraminifera, as well as their dead remains. ...
Assessing the effect of calcein incorporation on physiological processes of benthic foraminifera
(Elsevier, 2015)
Rosalina sp. was incubated in seawater spiked with calcein (5 mg/l to 20 mg/l calcein), a dye proposed as efficient marker to tag newly formed calcite, to understand its effect on benthic foraminifera. The experiment was ...
Effect of temperature and salinity on stable isotopic composition of shallow water benthic foraminifera: A laboratory culture study
(Bengaluru: Geological Society of India, 2013)
Quantitative estimation of past climatic parameters from stable isotopic composition of foraminifera relies on estimating the precise relationship between stable isotopic composition of the species analyzed and the ...
Experiment to decipher the effect of heavy metal cadmium on coastal benthic foraminifer Pararotalia Nipponica (Asano)
(Palaeontological Society of India, 2013)
The response of benthic foraminifer Pararotalia nipponica to heavy metal cadmium is observed in laboratory experiment. The results indicate that under a given set of conditions, heavy metal cadmium is deleterious to benthic ...
