Ecology and Palaeoecology of Benthic Foraminifera

This is an important and authoritative review of foraminiferal ecology, the first for over a decade. Professor Murray relates ecological data on living forms of foraminifera to the palaeoecology of fossil species, and defines in detail areas of global distribution. 1: Introduction; 2: Life processes; 3: Stable isotope studies; 4: Population dynamics; 5: Relationship between living and dead assemblages; 6: Atlantic seaboard of North America; 7: Gulf of Mexico and Caribbean Sea; 8: Atlantic seaboard of South America; 9: Atlantic seaboard of Europe and Africa; 10: Atlantic Ocean – summary and comparison; 11: The Mediterranean; 12: Indian Ocean; 13: Western margin of the Pacific Ocean; 14: Eastern margin of the Pacific Ocean; 15: Pacific Ocean; 16: Southern Ocean; 17: Arctic Ocean; 18: Summary of modern distribution patterns and characteristics of assemblages; 19: Palaeoecology
