P., SAURIAU, P.-G., DEBENAY, J.-P., MERMILLOD-BLONDIN, F., SCHMIDT, S., AMIARD, J.-C., and DUPAS, B., Influence of the mode of macrofauna-mediated bioturbation on the vertical distribution of living benthic foraminifera: First insight from axial tomodensitometry. —Journal of Experimental Marine Biology and Ecology, v. 371, 2009, p. 20–33, 7 figures, 4 tables. —"...We investigated the links between macrofaunal bioturbation and foraminiferal distribution, by sampling from stations situated on a gradient of perturbation by oyster-farming, which has a major effect on benthic faunal assemblages. Sediment cores were collected on the French Atlantic coast, from three intertidal stations: an oyster farm, an area without oysters but affected by oyster biodeposits, and a control station..."
