Distribution of morphogroups of Recent agglutinating Foraminifera in the Rockall Trough—a synopsis
Published online by Cambridge University Press: 05 December 2011
Synopsis
The basic premise that foraminiferal test morphology is related to function, in this case life position and feeding strategy, and thus indirectly to habitat, is detailed in Jones & Charnock (in press). The following account is based on that work but is in the form of a summary since a detailed description will be published elsewhere. The information used in this paper is from Pearce (1980) who examined Foraminifera in semi-quantitative multiple cores collected in a series of transects running approximately perpendicular to the axis of the Rockall Trough. The Foraminifera were from the surface sections, 0-2 cm, of the cores.
