Short summary
The challenge between benthic foraminifera and ostracoda is open: which is the most reliable microfossil group for precise palaeoenvironmental reconstructions? Results from a lagoonal succession of the Romagna coast (Italy) reveal that the winner is ostracoda, due to their higher abundance, higher differentiation, and precise relationships between species and ecological parameters. Nevertheless, palaeoenvironmental stress and additional details are provided by benthic foraminifera.
