Short summary
This study uses foraminifera-bound nitrogen isotopes (FB-δ15N) to investigate photosymbiosis in planktic foraminifera. The analysis of South Atlantic shells, compared to a global dataset, shows that FB-δ15N distinguishes species with certain algal symbionts (dinoflagellates), likely due to internal ammonium recycling. However, the studied site stands out with its larger-than-expected FB-δ15N offsets, highlighting influences on FB-δ15N signatures in regions with strong environmental gradients.
