Tools

Software we built for our own research and share with the community — from identifying a specimen to mapping where it was collected and counting it under the microscope.

01
Identification · Open to everyone

Species cards

An illustrated, searchable collection of benthic foraminifera — morphology, ecology, taxonomy checked against WoRMS, and the lab’s papers on each species.

  • Search by genus, species or synonym
  • Image galleries with full credits
  • Linked publications per species
Explore the species
