Ecology and Applications of Benthic Foraminifera

Ecology and Applications of Benthic Foraminifera

John W. Murray, University of Southampton
July 2008
Available
Paperback
9780521070096
    Description

    In this 2006 volume John Murray investigates the ecological processes that control the distribution, abundance and species diversity of benthic foraminifera in environments ranging from marsh to the deepest ocean. To interpret the fossil record it is necessary to have an understanding of the ecology of modern foraminifera and the processes operating after death leading to burial and fossilisation. This book presents the ecological background required to explain how fossil forms are used in dating rocks and reconstructing past environmental features including changes of sea level. It demonstrates how living foraminifera can be used to monitor modern-day environmental change. Ecology and Applications of Benthic Foraminifera presents a comprehensive and global coverage of the subject using all the available literature. It is supported by a website hosting a large database of additional ecological information (www.cambridge.org/0521828392) and will form an important reference for academic researchers and graduate students in Earth and Environmental Sciences.

    • Reviews all environments, from intertidal to the deepest ocean
    • Was the first comprehensive review of current thoughts on ecological controls
    • Thorough coverage of the literature combined with extensive tables of data

    : Journal

    The Lichenologist is the premier scientific journal devoted exclusively to the study of lichens worldwide. As the leading forum for the dissemination of new concepts and topical reviews, The Lichenologist reaches more scientists concerned with the study of lichens and lichen symbionts than any other single journal. All aspects of lichenology are considered including systematics and phylogenetics; molecular biology; ultrastructure, anatomy and morphology; secondary chemistry; effects of pollutants and use as bioindicators; biogeography. In addition to standard length research papers, the journal also publishes longer monographs, Short Communications and Book Reviews. A monthly issue may occasionally be devoted to papers deriving from a symposium.The Lichenologist Online Digital Archive from 1958 to 2003 is now available for purchase.
