Catalog of Greater North Sea Foraminifera


   
Questions:
Step 1: How do we get samples from so far not covered areas?

Catalog of Greater North Sea Foraminifera





Step 2: Study of the species distribution

Does it make sense, given the obstacles of the study material ?

only dead specimens, no DNA data

age of the material may span over hundreds of years

no sufficient coverage by own material






































Ideas to cope with the obstacles

Use of general data
Use of habitat definitons by others
Catalog of Greater North Sea Foraminifera

defining faunal provinces based on 3-5 species dominating the assemblages

include results of other studies

count of only 25-50 specimens
