Acquisition, Maintenance, and Ecological Roles of Kleptoplasts in Planoglabratella opercularis (Foraminifera, Rhizaria)

Acquisition, Maintenance, and Ecological Roles of Kleptoplasts in Planoglabratella opercularis (Foraminifera, Rhizaria)

Kleptoplasty or acquisition of chloroplasts from ingested photosynthetic organisms, is thought to be a key factor in determining the trophic requirements and carbon mineralization of foraminifera, consequently influencing their ecology, evolution, and calcification. However, the acquisition, mainten...
