Distribution of Recent benthic Foraminifera in the Caribbean region. Smithson. Contr. mar. Sci., 14:382pp. This paper is the third in a series summarizing published data on the distribution of benthic Foraminifera around North America. Caribbean data have been compiled from 99 papers, published since 1839, on 1868 (reduced by synonymization to 1189) species collected at 338 localities. Included are a reference section, computer-generated maps of common species' distributions, and a series of computer-generated catalogs of species listings. Even so, 'because of the sample framework [restricted to shallow shelf], no conclusions can be reached with regard to foraminiferal provincial subdivisions.' Dept. of Geophys.

Analysis of 55 dredge samples showed 4 associations and 5 sub-associations; of the 267 species identified, 6 are new records. Species diversity and evenness increased directly with depth.

A decrease in growth rate, photosynthetic rate and cellular ATP; greatly increased heterotrophic potential; and storage and use of carbon reserves were exhibited in diatoms subjected to a simulated seasonal transition (decreased light and temperature, increased salinity). Decreased light intensity alone triggered characteristic winter responses in some cases. Dept. of Biol. Sci., Univ. of S. California, Los Angeles, Calif. 90007, USA.

Large-scale red tides usually occurred in the eastern part of the sea for ~ 2 weeks in summer. C. antiqua accumulated nearshore when flood tide was long, offshore when ebb tide was long. In the second paper, an exception to the general pattern of association between red tide and periods of long flood tide showed that when wind was strong and in the direction of the tidal current, the effect on C. antiqua accumulation was multiplied; when wind direction opposed the tidal current, the effect was reversed.

83:3523 Choi, Dong Ryong, 1982. Coelobites (reef cavitydwellers) as indicators of environmental effects caused by offshore drilling. Bull. mar. Sci., 32(4):880-889. Examination of coelobite communities on Philippine reefs which had been drilled for oil took place 15 months post-drilling. Discharges (mud and cuttings) were found up to 100 m from the well head lodged in coral rubble cavities whose walls were stained brown. Largest disturbance of the cavity-dwellers occurred within 40 m of the well site; minor changes were seen out to 75-100 m. As coelobites dwell in cavities and are quite susceptible to smothering from fine-grained sediment, they may be useful indicators of pollution due to high sedimentation rates. Comp. Sedimentol.
