“…The generic taxonomical classification of Loeblich & Tappan (1987), and specific concepts of Boltovskoy et al (1980), Debenay et al (2002), and Martins & Gomes (2004) were followed. After identification, the names of species were checked against the World Register of Marine Species (WoRMS 2014).…”

Transitional environments such as coastal lagoons with narrow connections to the sea are ecosystems very sensitive to natural or anthropogenic pressures. They are biodiversity hotspots and for this reason it should be studied and preserved. This study lists the benthic Foraminifera species from the Saquarema lagoonal system (SLS), Rio de Janeiro state, Brazil. This complex ecosystem consists of four large connected lagoons, namely Urussanga, Jardim, Boqueirão, and Saquarema. A poorly diversified benthic foraminiferal assemblage was documented from most of the lagoon system and consisted of only eight species belonging to three orders and four families. The relatively low species richness of the SLS compared to other Brazilian coastal lagoons might be explained by several factors including domestic sewage input and the long residence time of water.

“…Nonetheless, the total of individuals (live + dead) was used for the final analysis. The convenience of working with the total number of individuals is discussed by Debenay et al (2002) and Chatelet et al (2004), who show that it is a good indicator of environmental conditions. Species were identified according to the classification of Loeblich and Tappan (Sen Gupta 1999) and the plates of Barker (1960), Buzas et al (1977), McCulloch (1977), Buzas and Severin (1982), Boltovskoy and Hincapié de Martínez (1983), Parada and Pinto (1986), Parada (1991), Debenay et al (2002), Debenay and Thi-Luan (2006), and Bernal et al (2008).…”

Mangrove forests with different characteristics have developed in the Gulf of Urabá (Colombia). Eighty-two sediment samples were studied for species of foraminifera and their environmental dependence. Ten agglutinated species and one calcareous species dominated in these mangroves. Foraminifera were absent in mangrove areas exposed to high hydraulic energy (waves) or high human affectation. Two characteristic assemblages were found. The first one, represented by Milliammina fusca, the most dominant species, was related to finer substrates and lower salinities. The second one, represented by Ammonia beccarii, the most common calcareous species, was found in polluted low-oxygen environments. Haplophragmoides canariensis and Trochammina squamata, small species, showed a preference for places with abundant organic matter. A conceptual model is proposed that relates the benthic foraminifera to the hydrodynamics, grain size, organic matter content, and pollution.
