Laboratory experiment to study the effect of salinity variations on benthic foraminiferal species - Pararotalia nipponica (Asano)
(Geological Society of India, 2006)
Culture experiment has been carried out to observe the response of Pararotalia nipponica (Asano) to different salinities and its salinity tolerance limits. The specimens of P. nipponica kept in 33‰ saline water achieved ...
Effects of sudden stress due to heavy metal mercury on benthic foraminifer Rosalina leei: Laboratory culture experiment
(Elsevier, 2009)
Laboratory culture experiments were carried out to understand the response of benthic foraminifer Rosalina leei to gradual as well as sudden addition of heavy metal mercury into the media. When mercury was added suddenly, ...
Role of 12 S mitochondrial gene on dimorphism and coiling direction in benthic foraminiferal species Pararotalia nipponica
(Gondwana Geological Society, 2003)
Despite the extensive use of foraminiferal proxies for paleoclimatic reconstructions, the question how and why morphologic variations of foraminifera are regulated by climatic changes remains a mystery. The answer to such ...
Response of benthic foraminifera Rosalina leei to different temperature and salinity, under laboratory culture experiment
(Marine Biological Association of the United Kingdom, 2008)
Live specimens of benthic foraminiferal species Rosalina leei were subjected to a combination of temperature (25 degrees C, 30 degrees C and 35 degrees C) and salinity (25 ppt, 30 ppt, and 35 ppt) to assess its differential ...
Foraminifers as indicators of marine pollution: A culture experiment with Rosalina leei
(Elsevier, 2004)
In order to develop a viable foraminiferal proxy for heavy metal pollutants, juvenile specimens of Rosalina leei were subjected to different mercury concentrations (0 -180 ng/l). Initially considerable growth was observed ...
