Ammonia (genus)

Ammonia is a genus of marine foraminifers. It is one of the most abundant foraminifer genera worldwide and occurs in sheltered and shallow marine intertidal environments, sometimes in brackish waters.[1]

Species

The classification of the genus Ammonia in species is controversial. While several different forms exist, many authors consider the genus to consist of a single species, Ammonia beccarii, with many ecophenotypes. However, recent molecular studies revealed that the genus consists of many species, although they may be difficult to discriminate based on morphology.[2]

Based on a comparison between molecular results and morphology, the following species appear to be valid:

  • Ammonia aberdoveyensis Haynes, 1973
  • Ammonia aomoriensis (Asano, 1951)
  • Ammonia aoteana (Finlay, 1940)
  • Ammonia batava (Hofker, 1951)
  • Ammonia beccarii (Linnaeus, 1758)
  • Ammonia convexa (Collins, 1958)
  • Ammonia irridescens (Arnal, 1958) (maybe a synonym of A. tepida)
  • Ammonia limnetes (Todd & Bronnimann, 1957)
  • Ammonia sobrina (Shupack, 1934)
  • Ammonia tepida (Cushman, 1926)

Additionally, several other molecular types have been discovered that do not match any of the described species and thus possibly represent new taxa.[2]
