Foraminifera references

These are references that I have used in my research. I hope they are helpful to others working on encrusting foraminifera.

 Cibicides grazes bacteria living on the scallop, suspension feeds with a supported pseudopodial net, and erodes through the scallop's shell (parasitism).

Martin, R.E. and Wright, R.C. 

Authors compare assemblages from living vegetation and sediment. Vegetation assemblages are dominated by forms encrusting the vegetation: Planorbulina acervalis, Discorbis mira and Rosalina bahamaensis. Assemblages from sediment are principally thanatocoenoses (death assmeblages). Authors discuss other factors affecting distribution of species as well.

Martindale, W.

Foraminifera are abundant in cryptic areas. Other phyla dominate in exposed environments. Differences in assemblages in response to light and turbulence facilitated sequence stratigraphic interpretations.

Zampi, M., Benocci, S. and Focardi, S.

Calcareous and agglutinated foraminifera were found associated with bryozoans in 100-120 m waters. Cibicides refulgens and Rosalina globularis were the most common calcareous taxa; agglutinated taxa included Psammosphaera, Haplophragmoides and Trochammina.
