  abstract = {{I}n this preliminary study, we investigate living (stained) foraminifera from the {S}ea of {M}armara. {W}e focus on the faunal composition and geochemical signatures (trace elements, carbon and oxygen stable isotopes) in foraminiferal tests at two deep-sea sites (329 and similar to 1240 m depth respectively). {D}ocumented by {ROV} observations and sampling, both study areas are heterogeneous (including bacterial mats and carbonate concretions), proximal to cold seeps and consist of dysoxic bottom water ({O}-2 < 20 mu mol/{L}). {T}he prevailing dysoxia at both study areas restricts foraminiferal diversity to very low values ({S} < 9, {H}' < 0.97). {S}tress-tolerant species {B}olivina vadescens and {G}lobobulimina affinis dominate living faunas at both sites. {T}he highest foraminiferal standing stock is recorded at the shallowest site underneath a spreading bacterial mat. {N}o benthic foraminifera from either site possess geochemical signatures of methane seepage. {O}ur biogeochemical results show that use of foraminiferal {M}n/{C}a ratios as a proxy for bottom water oxygenation depends strongly on regional physiography, sedimentary processes and water column structure.},
