benthonic

Serra-Kiel et al., (1998) erected twenty standard shallow benthonic biozones for Tethyan Palaeocene-Eocene, mainly based on the larger foraminifera of the western Tethys and partly from the eastern Tethyan regions such as Pakistan and India.

Additionally, it is important to highlight that Imparfinis mirini (Haseman, 1911), a small bodied fish which also forage the substrate and were captured in the same sample sites of this study, consumed a very low proportion of detritus related to the benthonic organisms (Tofoli et al., 2013).

Davies [4] in the Samana Range and in Davies and Pinfold [1] in the Salt Range discuss the characteristic of Early to Late Paleocene benthonic larger foraminiferalspecies.

The name dictyonema came from the benthonic root-bearing Dictyonema flabelliforme, which afterward turned to planktonic nemabearing Rhabdinopora flabelliformis [17].

Besides, benthonic organisms such as mollusks can accumulate toxicants and introduce them to the food web from sediment and water phase; thus sediment plays a significant role in evaluating the overall environmental quality of an aquatic system.

In a reservoir, two food chains typically exist: (I) the grazing food chain: nutrients-phytoplankton- zooplankton-fish and (II) the detritus food chain: dead organisms-bacteria or benthonic organisms-zooplankton-fish [18].

Particular specie of benthonic foraminifera are known to have occupied particular time ranges, e.g.

In this period, based on O'Connor and Dobbins's (1958) proposal, models were proposed and consisted of second order differential equations, which added the benthonic and photosynthesis demand treatment to the models from the first period.
