摘要

Seven benthic foraminiferal assemblages were identiWed in vibracores through Holocene lagoons of three Belize atoll lagoons (Glovers Reef, Lighthouse Reef,TurneVe Islands). These include (1) the low-diversity Cribroelphidium assemblage (2) the Cribroelphidium-Elphidium assemblage (3) the Quinqueloculina-Triloculina-Peneroplis assemblage (4) the high-diversity miliolid assemblage (5) the Archaias-miliolid assemblage (6) the low-diversity miliolid assemblage, and (7) the mixed assemblage. Altogether, 109 species and 56 genera were identiWed. The highest diversities are observed in the largest lagoon (TurneVe Islands), whereas one of the smaller lagoons (Glovers Reef) exhibits the lowest diversities during the Holocene. No signiWcant changes in diversity over time occur, however, a slight trend to higher diversity may be observed through the Holocene, suggesting that the foraminiferal faunas in the atolls are in a diversiWcation stage.Faunal diversity in atoll lagoons appears to be controlled largely by habitat size, habitat heterogeneity, and water circulation.Habitat age and water depth only play minor roles. Substrate texture, water depth, and turbidity inXuence the predominant modes of life of benthic foraminifera encountered in the lagoons (epifaunal versus infaunal versus symbiont- bearing). Time-averaging eVects were not observed,even though lagoonal sedimentation rates Xuctuate in individual cores and the three lagoons, and despite the fact that sediments are modiWed through bioturbation by callianassid shrimps. This Wnding underlines the potential of benthic foraminifera for paleoecological studies in the fossil record of reefs and carbonate platforms.
