  • Recent and Quaternary Foraminifera Collected Around New Caledonia
    Plates 6/1 & 6/2 Recent and Quaternary foraminifera collected around New Caledonia Jean-Pierre DEBENAY 1 & Guy CABIOCH 2 1 UPRES EA, Universite d'Angers, 2 Bd Lavoisiere, 49045, Angers cedex, France 2 Institut de Recherche pour Developpement, UR 055, Paliotropique, Centre IRD, BPA5, 98848 Noumea cedex, Nouvelle-Caledonie [email protected] Abstract The compilation of the works carried out on Recent and Quaternary foraminifera collected in the waters surrounding New Caledonia allowed us to identify 574 species. These species are listed according to the classification of Loeblish & Tappan (1988), updated for the Recent species by Debenay et al. (1996). Their affinity with microfaunas from other regions is briefly discussed. Resume La compilation des travaux sur les foramini:feres actuels et quaternaires recoltes dans les eaux entourant la Nouvelle-Caledonie nous a permis de repertorier 574 especes. Ces especes sont presen­ tees selon la classification de Loeblish & Tappan (1988), mise ajour pour les especes actuelles par Debenay et al. (1996). Leur affinite avec les microfaunes d'autres regions est discutee brievement. Introduction The first study about foraminifera from the southwestern Pacific near New Caledonia was carried out by Brady (1884) during the voyage of H.M.S. Challenger (1873-1876), updated by Barker (1960), The nearest station was station 177, near Vanuatu (16°45'S-168°5'E). However, studies concerning directly New Caledonia began much later, with partial and local inventories in coastal samples (Gambini,1958, 1959; Renaud-Debyser, 1965; Toulouse, 1965, 1966). Samples of recent and fossil sediments collected during the Singer-Polignac mission (1960-1965) were further used for several studies of foraminiferal assemblages (Coudray & Margerel, 1974; Coudray, 1976; Margerel, 1981).

  • New Recent Foraminiferal Genera and Species from the Lagoon at Madang, Papua New Guinea
    New Recent foraminiferal genera and species from the lagoon at Madang, Papua New Guinea MARTIN R. LANGER Museum of Paleontology University of California Berkley, CA.94720, U.S.A. ABSTRACT Two new genera and eight new species of benthic foraminifera are described from the shallow water, tropical lagoon of Madang, Papua New Guinea. The new hauerinid genus Pseudolachlanella is characterized by juvenile cryptoquinqueloculine, adult almost massiline arranged chambers, and a slitlike, curved aperture with parallel sides and a long, slender, curved miliolid tooth. Pitella haigi n. gen., n. sp. is a new foraminifera with cryptoquinqueloculine arranged chambers, an almost entirely pitted shell surface (pseudopores)and a rounded aperture with a short simple tooth. Among the other species described as new are four hauerinids and two agglutinated foraminifera All new species described here occur sporadically in the shallow water back- and forereef environments of the lagoon (0-55m), and live infaunally and epifaunally in well-oxygenated, fine and coarse grained biogenic sediments. They are absent in muddy, organic-rich, low-oxygen sedimentary environments within bay inlets where variations of salinity are considerable. J. Microialaeontol.

  • Reef Foraminifera As Bioindicators of Coral Reef Health in Southern South
    www.nature.com/scientificreports OPEN Reef foraminifera as bioindicators of coral reef health in southern South China Sea Aishah Norashikin Abdul A’ziz1, Fatin Izzati Minhat1,2*, Hui‑Juan Pan3, Hasrizal Shaari1,2, Wan Nurzalia Wan Saelan1,2, Nazihah Azmi1, Omar Abdul Rahman Abdul Manaf1 & Md Nizam Ismail4 Pulau Tioman is a famous tourist island of Peninsular Malaysia with beautiful coral reefs. This study aims to assess the health of the coral reefs surrounding Pulau Tioman based on the application of the Foraminifera in Reef Assessment and Monitoring Index (FI). Ten sampling sites around Pulau Tioman were studied with a total of 30 samples. Eight orders, 41 families, 80 genera, and 161 species of benthic foraminifera were identifed. The agglutinated type of foraminifera constituted 2–8% of the total assemblages. Calcareous hyaline and porcelaneous groups represented 79% and 19% of the total assemblages, respectively. Symbiont‑bearing taxa were the most common foraminifera. The results indicate that most of the sampling sites are conducive for coral reef growth with good recoverability from future stress to the ecosystem. However, several areas with higher coastal development and tourism have reduced water and sediment quality. Therefore, the limit on the number of visitors and tourists should be revised to enable coral growth and health. The FI values in this study showed a positive correlation with good water qualities and a negative correlation with organic matter enrichment. The FI is a good measure to assess the health of a coral reef and can be applied to other reef ecosystems around Malaysia. Te coral reef ecosystem is among the most biologically diverse ecosystems in the world that plays a vital role in shaping the balance of environmental processes over the past 200 million years 1.

  • Applying Benthic Foraminiferal Assemblage to Evaluate the Coral Reef Condition in Dongsha Atoll Lagoon
    Zoological Studies 56: 20 (2017) doi:10.6620/ZS.2017.56-20 Applying Benthic Foraminiferal Assemblage to Evaluate the Coral Reef Condition in Dongsha Atoll lagoon Chienhsun Chen1,2,* and Hui-Ling Lin1,2 1Taiwan Ocean Research Institute, National Applied Research Laboratories, 80143 Kaohsiung, Taiwan 2Department of Oceanography, National Sun Yat-sen University, 80424 Kaohsiung, Taiwan (Received 29 March 2017; Accepted 27 June 2017; Published 20 July 2017; Communicated by Benny K.K. Chan) Chienhsun Chen and Hui-Ling Lin (2017) Coral reefs in the South China Sea are threatened by environmental changes and anthropogenic disruptions. Foraminifera, a group of unicellular shelled protists, has been considered a reliable indicator of water quality and reef health. However, this indicator has not yet been used to study coral reefs in the South China Sea. In this study of foraminifera in the lagoon of Dongsha Atoll, both the assemblage diversity and the functional group composition were investigated. The FORAM index (FI), a numerical indicator based on functional group composition, was used to evaluate the condition of the coral reef of the Atoll lagoon. A typical assumption is that FI = 4 is the minimum index value corresponding to a suitable environment for the growth of calcifying organisms. Environments with FI values between 2 and 4 are unsuitable to marginal for recovery of coral communities after a mortality event. Data were recorded regarding a total of 287 foraminiferal species. Approximately 68% of the tests belonged to the porcelaneous taxa; the Quinqueloculina, Triloculina, and Pseudomassilina species were well represented. Hyaline foraminifera were less abundant than porcelaneous foraminifera; the agglutinated foraminifera were the least abundant.

It is widely held that benthic foraminifera exhibit species-specific calcification depth preferences, with their tests recording sediment pore water chemistry at that depth (i.e. stable isotope and trace metal compositions). This assumed depth-habitat-specific pore water chemistry relationship has been used to re- construct various palaeoenvironmental parameters, such as bottom water oxygenation. However, many deep- water foraminiferal studies show wide intra-species variation in sediment living depth but relatively narrow intra-species variation in stable isotope composition. To investigate this depth-habitat–stable-isotope relation- ship on the shelf, we analysed depth distribution and stable isotopes of “living” (Rose Bengal stained) benthic foraminifera from two box cores collected on the South Georgia shelf (ranging from 250 to 300 m water depth).
