Abstract

Biological and ecological studies of modern foraminifers are important to solve their paleoecology. Complex internal and external factors of biological processes, such as metabolism, biogeochemical processes, interactions among hosts, endobionts and ambient microbes, strongly affected to the foraminiferal adaptation and evolution. Because foraminifers experience these processes before their fossilization, it is necessary to understand these fundamental biological processes in order to reconstruct their paleoecology and paleoceanography. Here we review recent interdisciplinary culture-based studies on living foraminifers concerning their ecology, calcification, biogeochemical cycles and evolution.
