Advances in agglutinated foraminiferal research: The ninth internationalworkshop on agglutinated foraminifera, iwaf-9

The InternationalWorkshops on Agglutinated Foraminifera (IWAF) are part of a long-term effort to understand the taxonomy,classification, ecology, and biostratigraphy of this ancient and diverse group of microfossils. Since 1981, the IWAF meetings have been held approximately every four years in a different European country, and have produced a remarkable body of scientific literature.The 9^thIWAF in Zaragoza, Spain hosted 53 scientists who gave a total of 56 contributions. The current Micropaleontology issue contains the scientific results of eight presentations given at the IWAF-9.
