Factors influencing the distribution patterns of Recent deep-sea benthic foraminifera, east of New Zealand, Southwest Pacific Ocean
TL;DR: This paper investigated which combination of environmental factors most strongly influences the distribution patterns of benthic foraminferal tests (>0.63 μm) in a region bisected by the Subtropical Front, east of New Zealand.

Techniques for estimation of tidal elevation and con” nement (∼salinity) histories of sheltered harbours and estuaries using benthic foraminifera: examples from New Zealand:
TL;DR: In this article, a simple modern analogue technique for estimating tidal or subtidal elevation of Holocene fossil faunas, utilizing the modern data set most applicable to the Holocene setting (sheltered tidal harbours and inlets, or lower-salinity estuaries), was described and assessed for their utility for reconstructing the depositional settings of late-Holocene sequences.

Depth distribution of recent deep-sea benthic foraminifera east of New Zealand, and their potential for improving paleobathymetric assessments of Neogene microfaunas
TL;DR: In this article, the present-day distribution of deep-sea foraminifera (>63 μm) in 66 samples of seafloor sediment at 90-4700 m water depth (outer shelf to mid-abyssal), east of New Zealand was investigated.

Benthic foraminiferal proxy evidence for the Neogene palaeoceanographic history of the Southwest Pacific, east of New Zealand
TL;DR: Canonical correspondence analysis indicates that the distribution of Neogene benthic foraminiferal faunas in seven DSDP and ODP sites (500-4500 m water depth) east of New Zealand (38-51°S, 170°E-170°W) is most strongly influenced by depth (water mass stratification), and secondly by age (palaeoceanographic changes influencing faunal composition and biotic evolution) as discussed by the authors.

TL;DR: Foraminiferal and diatom assemblages in 11 cores of Holocene sediment from brackish marine Ahuriri Inlet in southern Hawke's Bay, New Zealand, provide a record of 8.5m of subsidence followed by 1.5 m of uplift in the last 7200 years, in a region overlying the subduction zone between the Australian and Pacific Plates as discussed by the authors.
