Why did some larger benthic foraminifera become so large and flat?

Pamela Hallock et al.

Summary: The text discusses the prevalence of biostromes and low-relief bioherms in Palaeogene and Miocene carbonates, as well as the reproductive strategies of larger benthic foraminifera. It also describes how algal symbiosis played a role in the slow growth and survival of these organisms in specific oceanic conditions, leading to the formation of unique fossil evidence in sedimentary structures.

Alleged Lessepsian foraminifera prove native and suggest Pleistocene range expansions into the Mediterranean Sea

Paolo G. Albano et al.

Summary: Human activities have greatly influenced biogeographical patterns by introducing non-indigenous species into new areas. However, the lack of long-term observational data makes it difficult to fully understand invasion histories. This study used sediment cores from the southern Israeli shelf to uncover the past of the Lessepsian invasion, which involves the entrance of tropical species into the Mediterranean through the Suez Canal. By applying radiocarbon dating techniques, the researchers found evidence suggesting that some species previously considered non-indigenous are actually native to the Mediterranean. This study highlights the importance of considering long-term historical records to accurately determine the origin and status of species invasions.

Contributions of Trimorphic Life Cycles to Dispersal and Evolutionary Trends in Large Benthic Foraminifers

Pamela Hallock et al.

Summary: The basic life cycle of Foraminifera involves alternation between sexual and asexual generations, with several successive asexual generations being a common variation. Research on population dynamics, spatial distributions, and biogeography of specific Foraminifera species has been enhanced by culture studies over the past 50 years. The different stages in the life cycle can contribute to understanding the biogeographic and evolutionary trends observed in large benthic foraminifers. Future studies utilizing genomics, proteonomics, geochemistries, scanning technologies, and other approaches are recommended to further enhance the understanding of both modern and fossil Foraminifera lineages.

Reconstructing Bioinvasion Dynamics Through Micropaleontologic Analysis Highlights the Role of Temperature Change as a Driver of Alien Foraminifera Invasion

Roberta Guastella et al.

Summary: This study used micropaleontologic analysis of sedimentary cores and radiometric dating to date the arrival of invasive foraminiferal species in the Maltese Islands, revealing that these species reached the Central Mediterranean Sea earlier than previously thought. The study also found a strong relationship between sea surface temperature and population outbreaks of these invasive species. The micropaleontologic approach was shown to be a reliable procedure for reconstructing bioinvasion dynamics of taxa with mineralized remains.
