Short summary

We studied how tiny shelled organisms called foraminifera living in coastal mudflats respond to changes in their microscopic algae food. By monitoring a French mudflat every month for 3 years, we showed that seasonal environmental changes strongly shape both algae and foraminifera. Using simple algae traits such as size and shape explained feeding patterns better than identifying algae species, offering a clearer way to predict ecosystem responses to environmental change.
