LEROYI: A NEW TETHYAN LAGENID BENTHIC FORAMINIFERAL GENUS

A quantitative look on northwestern Tethyan foraminiferal assemblages, Campanian Nierental Formation, Austria

Deposits spanning the Radotruncana calcarata Taxon Range Zone at the Postalm section, Northern Calcareous Alps (Austria) are examined quantitatively for foraminiferal assemblages, especially the planktonic group. This study focuses on establishing a high resolution record spanning an 800 ka long stratigraphic interval from the active continental margin of the Penninic Ocean. The Postalm section...

Paleoceanographical proxies based on deep-sea benthic foraminiferal assemblage characteristics

Abyssal hills: Influence of topography on benthic foraminiferal assemblages

Interpretation of benthic foraminiferal stable isotopes in subtidal estuarine environments

Here we present a novel approach for the interpretation of stable isotope signatures recorded in benthic foraminifera from subtidal estuarine environments. The stable isotopic composition (δ18O and δ13C) of living Ammonia tepida and Haynesina germanica is examined at four stations in the Auray River estuary (Gulf of Morbihan, France) sampled in two contrasting seasons, spring 2006 and winter 20...

VANKYA, A NEW GENUS OF SMUT FUNGI

Study of smut fungi on Liliaceae resulted to propose a new genus and three new combinations: Vankya Ershad, type V. ornithogali (Schmidt et Kunze) Ershad, based on Uredo ornithogali Schmidt et Kunze, V. heufleri (Fuckel) Ershad, based on Ustilago heufleri Fuckel, and V. vaillantii (L.-R. et C. Tulasne) Ershad, based on Ustilago vaillantii L.-R. et C. Tulasne.
