Morphological traits (i.e. body size and proportions) are fundamental mechanisms for adaptive radiation and speciation [1,2]. Individual growth rates are susceptible to environmental variability and predation risk, which can influence life-history traits, such as size or age at maturity, reproductive potential, and resilience to resource limitations [3–6].
Abstract Benthic foraminifera are known to play an important role in marine carbon and nitrogen cycles. Here, we report an enrichment of sulphur cycle -associated bacteria inside intertidal benthic foraminifera (Ammonia sp. (T6), Haynesina sp. (S16) and Elphidium sp. (S5)), using a metabarcoding approach targeting the 16S rRNA and aprA -genes. The most abundant intracellular bacterial groups included the genus Sulfurovum and the order Desulfobacterales.
