They are called foraminifera and have lived in the world’s oceans for 545 million years. A research team has established in a new study that some species of this protist will probably cope swimmingly even in a climate-impacted future. This is due to their ability to respire nitrate. One consequence of climate change is higher water temperatures and reduced oxygen levels in the world’s oceans. This
