The process of hand-drawing foraminifera for the second taxonomic identification leaflet on planktonic foraminifera which will be coming soon (link to the 1st one in the comments) !
I am very happy to be the one drawing all these tiny beauties !

17m #sediment out of a 18m #gravitycorer makes everyone quite happy on #msm111 (photo by Raphaël Morard) #aboutlastnight
An exciting week ahead with many #symbiosis discussions! #issholobiont2022
Ps: happy to see Brazil being well represented in the meeting!!!
With Christiane Schmidt and Raphaël Morard
After a few days, our forams are doing well in the incubator CEREGE, thanks to the support of Tom Chalk Thibault de Garidel Raphaël Morard and co.!
We are getting ready to welcoming you for the annual meeting of the The Micropalaeontological Society (TMSoc) at @marum_de !
Some of you are already there and we wish all other participants a safe travel to Bremen!

Next we have Raphael Morard with Tracing shift of oceanic fronts using the cryptic diversity of Globorotalia inflata #foramnanno17
Congratulations to Raphaël Morard for a - really - great paper on planktonic foram diversity through time. Have a look at it nature.com/articles/s4146…
I am very happy to share our last research published at Nature Communications. We used the Tara Oceans Scientific metabarcoding dataset to show that benthic forams disperse in the plankton and could quickly (re)conquer the plankton after end Cretaceous biological crisis.
Fascinating work by Raphaël Morard and colleagues!!
Molecular clock data do not support K-Pg muricohedbergellid survivors giving rising to macroperforates.
Instead, post K-Pg benthics took to the newly-vacated planktos!
I would like to add my recommendation to this very interesting paper by Raphaël Morard, which provides genetic evidence that Cenozoic planktic foraminifera evolved from tychopelagic benthics and NOT surviving Cretaceous planktics.
Our new paper led by Raphaël Morard investigating the expansion of #foraminifera from the benthic to the pelagic ecosystem after the Cretaceous Paleogene mass extinction is out on Nature Communications! You can read the full story here ---> nature.com/articles/s4146…
