Scientists have unlocked new ways to study ancient marine life. Researchers at the University of Southampton have developed a fossil analysis technique that reveals how prehistoric plankton responded ...

Most foraminiferan species reside on the seafloor, but paleontologists are particularly interested in planktonic species, ...

Washed foraminifera being picked for computer tomography and geochemical analysis. Scientists at the University of ...

Scientists at the University of Southampton have developed a new way of analyzing fossils, allowing them to see how creatures ...

“We found a mitochondrial marker that works well for large benthic (living on the seafloor) forams. And that’s the biggest innovation of my PhD; to create a workflow using DNA in order to quantify and ...

In their study, Faulkner and her collaborators tracked the diversity of forams over the past 541 million years — a period known as the Phanerozoic — analyzing how different types of forams fared ...

The more closely I looked at forams, the more I realized that they might have lessons to impart to humans about our physical place in a changing world. Vann R. Newkirk II: What America owes the planet ...

Identifying Foraminifera (or forams for short) is essential for oceanographic and geoscience research as well as petroleum exploration. Currently, this is mostly accomplished using trained human ...

Scientists have compared data from the last ice age, around 21,000 years ago, and modern records to see what happened to plankton when the world has previously warmed.
