Ammolagena clavata (Jones and Parker, 1860), an agglutinated benthic foraminiferal species - first report from the Recent sediments, Arabian Sea, Indian Ocean region
(Cushman Foundation for Foraminiferal Research, 2004)
The rare presence of the agglutinated foraminiferal species Ammolagena clavata is presented for the first time from the Recent sediments of the Indian Ocean region. This species has previously been reported in Recent ...
Linkage between seasonal insolation gradient in the tropical northern hemisphere and the sea surface salinity of the equatorial Indian Ocean during the last glacial period
(Geological Society of China, 2012)
Paired stable oxygen isotope and Mg/Ca analyses in calcite tests of the mixed-layer-dwelling planktic foraminifer Globigerinoides ruber has been used to reconstruct equatorial Indian Ocean delta sup(18)O of seawater (delta ...
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 ...
Hydrographic changes in the Agulhas Recirculation Region during the late Quaternary.
(European Geosciences Union, 2014)
The strength of Southern Hemisphere westerlies, as well as the positions of the subtropical front (STF), Agulhas Current (AC) and Agulhas Return Current (ARC) control the hydrography of the southwestern Indian Ocean. ...
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. ...
A first look at past sea surface temperatures in the equatorial Indian Ocean from Mg/Ca in foraminifera
(AGU, 2005)
Sea surface temperature (SST) for the central equatorial Indian Ocean, has been reconstructed over the last approx. 137 kyr, from Mg/Ca of the planktonic foraminiferal species Globigerinoides ruber. According to our record ...
A glimpse of the Quaternary monsoon history from India and adjoining seas
(Elsevier, 2014)
The evolution of the monsoon is briefly summarized taking into account previous studies conducted on both terrestrial and marine records recovered from the Indian subcontinent and the adjoining seas. While the initiation ...
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 ...
Deglaciation in the tropical Indian Ocean driven by interplay between the regional monsoon and global teleconnections
(Elsevier, 2013)
High resolution climate records of the ice age terminations from monsoon-dominated regions reveal the interplay of regional and global driving forces. Speleothem records from Chinese caves indicate that glacial terminations ...
Benthic foraminifera
(Elsevier, 2013)
Benthic foraminifera are protozoa, which evolved during Cambrian and at present are found living in all possible marine environments. Their single cell is enclosed in a microscopic calcareous or agglutinated shell called ...
