We would like to invite scientists dealing with cultivations of larger foraminifera from all over the world. Large effort has been done in the last years trying to cultivate forams in medium to large tanks to observe their behaviour under different environmental conditions to estimate past and future climatic conditions. Ocean acidification related processes as well as temperature and pH changes through time are just two of the many issues we are daily dealing with. What are the latest news on this emerging research field?
