The succession of the Late Quaternary La Starza terrace, located within the Campi Flegrei caldera, on the Tyrrhenian side of southern Italy, represents a wellknown example of deposition under the combined influence of bathymetric and physico-chemical variations due to volcanic activities. One hundred and seven samples collected in six outcrops and some tunnel excavation fronts, with an age between ~12 and 4 k.y.a, comprise both barren and fossiliferous sediments. The latter contain siliceous and/or calcareous microfossil remains, including benthic foraminiferal and ostracod assemblages indicative of a marine paleodepth ranging from the upper infralittoral to the upper circalittoral zone, with phases of intense environmental stress typical of a hydrothermal system. A detailed reconstruction of the Holocene paleoenvironmental evolution of the succession is presented. The majority of foraminiferal and ostracod species is illustrated and brief taxonomic and ecological notes are given for each of them.

“…Samples for microfaunal analyses were collected from intervals straddling the main stratigraphical unit boundaries, as defined by the lithostratigraphical analyses, to identify major paleoenvironmental changes and to support correlations between sub‐surface datasets. Benthic foraminifera and ostracod assemblages, which have a high sensitivity to environmental change, were analyzed both qualitatively and quantitatively (Aiello, Barra, De Pippo, Donadio, & Petrosino, ; Aiello, Barra, De Pippo, & Donadio, ; D'Amico et al, ; Stamatopoulos et al ; Balassone et al, ; Mangoni et al, ; Marino et al ). Benthic foraminifera and ostracod taxa were collected from sediment samples washed through a 125 µm sieve and identified according to the modern and classic literature, with a specific focus on the Mediterranean area (Müller, ; Barbeito‐Gonzalez, ; Bonaduce, Ciampo, & Masoli, ; Breman, ; Sen Gupta, Smith, & Machain‐Castillo, ; Aiello & Barra, ; Debenay, ; Milker & Schmiedl, ; Aiello, Barra, & Parisi, ; Aiello, Barra, Parisi, Isaia, & Marturano, ).…”

Holocene paleogeographic evolution of an ancient port city of the central Mediterranean area: Natural and anthropogenic modifications from Salerno city, southern Italy

A multidiplisciplinary study, including geomorphological, lithostratigraphical, geochronological, geochemical, and paleontological investigations, was carried out in the coastal area of Salerno city, southern Italy. The study aimed to outline the Late Glacial‐Holocene geoenvironmental evolution of Salerno's port area in response to both natural and anthropogenic factors. The geomorphological study included an examination of historic maps, which enabled a detailed reconstruction of the coastal landscape change during historic times. Lithostratigraphical analyses of three new boreholes, supported by radiocarbon and tephrochronological data, and of previously retrieved core‐successions and archaeological trenches, extends our reconstruction of the paleogeographical evolution of the Salerno coastal area back to the Late Pleistocene. Geochemical and paleontological analyses of samples from the newly acquired cores were combined with the lithofacies analyses of previously retrieved cores to detect ancient harbors in the area of the current port facilities of the city and surrounding urban areas. This work contributes to scientific debate about the specific sedimentary architectures and geochemical properties of the Salerno harbor environment and refines methodological approaches for characterizing and assessing the evolution and demise of ancient port facilities in Mediterranean coastal cities.

“…Elphidium complanatum is common on the Portuguese continental shelf, reaching higher relative abundances at shallow depth environments (Levy et al, 1995). Quinqueloculina lata is a stress tolerant species to anthropogenic pollution (Mangoni et al, 2016). This species was found living in the Aveiro Lagoon mouth reaching relatively high abundance (up to 5%), under the influence of strong tidal currents.…”

This work is based on a compilation of benthic foraminiferal data collected in the Aveiro Lagoon and in the adjacent continental shelf and upper slope (center of Portugal). It intends to provide an overall analysis from transitional to the outer continental shelf of the occurrence and distribution of species in living and to present updated taxonomic data and illustrations of most of the species found in the in the Aveiro Lagoon and in the adjacent continental shelf including in total assemblages. Cluster analysis (CA) and Principal Components Analysis (PCA) interpreted as depth functions allow us to identify the main species in different ecoenvironments and sectors of the study area. The most unusual living assemblage was documented in the lagoon inlet under very strong tidal currents activity, composed mostly by the following species (both in living and total assemblages): Rotaliammina concava, Lepidodeuterammina ochracea, Quinqueloculina seminula, Gavelinopsis praegeri, Paratrochammina haynesi, Remaneica helgolandica and Remaneicella gonzalezi. The distribution patterns of some Trochamminidae and Remaneicidae species whose ecology and distribution pattern are poorly known, have proved to be a marker of more or less hydrodynamic and stable/unstable environments in coastal and transitional marine environments. OCORRÊNCIA DE FORAMINÍFEROS E DISTRIBUIÇÃO DAS PRINCIPAIS ESPÉCIES NA LAGOA DE AVEIRO E NA PLATAFORMA CONTINENTAL ADJACENTE (PORTUGAL)ResumoEste trabalho baseia-se numa compilação de dados foraminíferos bentónicos recolhidos na Laguna de Aveiro e na plataforma continental adjacente (centro de Portugal). Pretende efetuar uma análise geral da distribuição de espécies nas associações vivas e totais (vivas e mortas) na área de estudo, em função da profundidade. Pretende ainda apresentar dados taxonómicos e ilustrações da maioria das espécies encontradas na Laguna de Aveiro e na plataforma continental adjacente. A análise de agrupamento (CA) e a análise de componentes principais (PCA), em função da profundidade, permitem identificar as principais espécies em diferentes ecossistemas e setores da área de estudo. A associação viva mais invulgar foi encontrada na embocadura da Laguna de Aveiro, um ambiente sujeito a forte corrente de maré. Essa associação era composta principalmente pelas seguintes espécies (na associação viva e total): Rotaliammina concava, Lepidodeuterammina ochracea, Quinqueloculina seminula, Gavelinopsis praegeri, Paratrochammina haynesi, Remaneica helgolandica and Remaneicella gonzalezi. Os padrões de distribuição de algumas espécies de Trochamminidae e Remaneicidae, cuja ecologia e padrão de distribuição são pouco conhecidos, mostraram ser um marcador de ambientes mais ou menos hidrodinâmicos e de estabilidade/instabilidade do substrato em ambientes marinhos costeiros e de transição.
