Individual collected in Saanich Inlet, Vancouver Island, British Columbia. This species is particularly common in shallower, oxygenated regions of the inlet. Image courtesy of R. Timothy Patterson, Carleton University. This image first appeared in J. Foram. Res. 28:201-219 and is used with permission.

Foraminiferans living in polluted environments often show alterations in the morphology of their tests. This individual, isolated from a site in Norway which is contaminated with heavy metals, has an extra lump on the test (lower right) which disrupts the normal coiling pattern.

Foraminiferans living in polluted environments often show alterations in the morphology of their tests. This individual, isolated from a site in Norway which is contaminated with heavy metals, shows severe disruption to its coiling pattern and has multiple apertures (the aperture is the opening through which the foraminiferan sends its reticulopods).

This specimen is probably R. colonnensis, based on its umbilical face morphology, but has a much smoother spiral face than is normal. Image courtesy of Jan Pawlowski, University of Geneva. This image first appeared in J. Foram. Res 23:231-237, and is used with permission.

This small foram (about 100 microns across) is living on the surface of the test of a much larger foram, Bathysiphon filiformis. The Bathysiphon test is 600 times as long as the Tritaxis one.

Forams of this genus have been shown to attack other, larger forams, such as Amphistegina gibbosa and Globorotalia menardii. This species not identified. Photo courtesy of Kurt S.S. Nielsen. Image first appeared in J. Foram Res. 31:93-95, and is used with permission.
