EISENACH, A. R. and KELLY, D. C., Coiling preferences and evolution in the middle Miocene Fohsella chronocline. —Marine Micropaleontology, v. 60, 2006, p. 243–257, 5 figures, 2 plates, 3 tables, 1 appendix. — ‘‘. . . The rapid and permanent nature of the Fohsella sinistral shift provides a distinct, unequivocal datum that may prove useful for correlating mid-Miocene sections throughout the Caribbean Sea and tropical regions in the western sectors of the Pacific and Atlantic. The coiling ratio changes that occurred during the evolution of the Fohsella chronocline probably reflect changing population dynamics between cryptic genotypes with different coiling preferences.’’ (from Abstract).

ERNST, S. R., MORVAN, J., GESLIN, E., LE BIHAN, A., and JORISSEN, F. J., Benthic foraminiferal response to experimentally induced Erika oil pollution.— Marine Micropaleontology, v. 61, 2006, p. 76–93, 6 figures, 1 plate, 2 tables, 1 appendix.— ‘‘Benthic foraminifera from an intertidal mudflat (Bay of Bourgneuf, France) have been exposed to different types of oil-polluted seawater in an experimental laboratory setting. The aim of this experiment was to study the response of foraminiferal faunas from the intertidal zone to oil spills. . . We conclude that there is a dual response to oil-induced pollution: foraminiferal faunas may respond by a strongly increased mortality, and/or by an accelerated reproduction of some of the taxa.’’ (from Abstract).
