Foraminifera are tiny, single-celled organisms that live in all of our planet`s oceans. They are the most abundant single-celled organisms in the marine environment and, despite their small size, they are absolutely essential for understanding the evo-lution of life and ecosystems in Earth. They react very sens-itively to physical and chemical environmental changes and 
are therefore ideal indicators for scientists to reconstruct the climate history of our Earth.
