The expansion in knowledge on foraminiferal ecology can be gauged
by comparing the syntheses of Phleger 1960s, Boltovskoy 1965,
Murray 1973, Boltovskoy and Wright 1976, and the present volume.
New developments since the 1970s include better samplers (sealed
grabs, box corers, multicorers), the use of SCUBA divers in shallow
water both for sampling and the in-situ observation of the
environment, stable isotope studies and biochemical techniques.
Much greater use is now made of computers in the statistical
analysis of data. Improved position-fixing techniques at sea have
made it possible to re-sample oceanic sites far from land to build
up time-series studies. There has been a greater involvement of
biologists with significant advances in understanding physiological
processes. Multidisciplinary studies, especially of fossil material
have been actively promoted through the deep sea drilling project,
international phase of ocean drilling and ocean drilling program.
