EDITORS COMMENTS
This stunning chromolithograph by Adolf Glitsch, based on an illustration by Ernst Haeckel from his seminal work "Art Forms in Nature" published in 1904, showcases a diverse array of Foraminifera, marine creeping protozoa. Foraminifera, also known as testate amoebae or forams, are a group of protists belonging to the phylum Rhizopoda. They are characterized by the production of a calcareous or siliceous shell, called a test, which they use for protection. The depicted species include Quinqueloculina parkeri, Miliolinella fichteliana, Cornuspira planorbis, Articulina sagra, Spiroloculina nitida, Borelis melo, Peneroplis planatus, Hauerina circinata, Hauerina ornatissima, Articulina mucronata, Vertebralina insignis, Pyrgo comata, Archaias angulatus, Marginopora vertebralis, and Miliolina species. Each species exhibits unique and intricate shell designs, reflecting their diverse morphologies and adaptations to their marine environments. Ernst Haeckel, a renowned German biologist and naturalist, was a pioneer in the study of Foraminifera and was instrumental in advancing our understanding of their taxonomy and evolution. His meticulous illustrations, such as this one, continue to captivate and inspire scientists, artists, and enthusiasts alike, providing a window into the rich biodiversity of the natural world.
