This limestone is characterised by the incorporation of fine debris and by a benthic microfauna consisting of foraminifera such as miliolida and textulariida.

A high osmotic pressure in the cells of the epithecium prevent marauding microfauna that would otherwise penetrate and feed on the rich protoplasm below.
13.
These fish use their mouths to constantly scoop up substrate and filter it out through their gills, consuming detritus and microfauna in the process.
14.
The microfauna found on live rock are detrivores and herbivores ( as they eat algae and fish waste ), and provide fish with a natural, attractive shelter.

In it you can see posters of the vegetation in the area ( beech, oak forest, oak ), microfauna ( rodents ), raptors and other wildlife are explained.
17.
By the process of biological decomposition by microfauna, bacteria, and fungi, CO 2 and H 2 O, nutrient elements, and an exceedingly resistant organic compound called humus are released.
18.
Studies on microfauna, that was very abundant and relatively homogeneous over the entire sequence have, apart from confirming the interglacial climate during the stratigraphic sequence, delivered an independent set of discoveries.
19.
The Grotto is entrenched within the Pyrenean " Primary Axial Zone " as part of the Ardengost limestone massif, that contains a rich microfauna of foraminifera, brachiopods and polyps and floral ( algae ) elements.
20.
Some use refugiums to raise microfauna " Daphnia ", " Moina " and " Gammarus " to supplement the diets of the fish in the main tank, particularly fish that are picky about their diet, such as freshwater pipefish.
