In this study of sediments recovered along the northern shore of Saudi Arabia, the symbiont-bearing taxa <i>Sorites variabilis</i>, <i>S. orbiculus</i>, <i>Amphisorus hemprichii</i>, <i>Amphistegina lobifera</i>, <i>A. lessonii</i> and <i>A. radiata</i> were identified in samples from between 430 to 1,000&nbsp;m depth. These foraminifera are dwelling in shallow-water environments, associated with coral reefs and seagrass habitats. The seemingly erratic occurrence of photosymbiotic benthic organisms in deep-sea sediments was explained by the finding of such foraminifera tests along with seagrass (e.g., <i>Halophila</i> leaves) and macroalgae remains in pristine preservational states in the sediment of the Umluj brine pool below ~ 638&nbsp;m depth. This indicates a passive transport process by rafting attached to floating macrophytes to these off-platform settings. The abundant seagrass and oceanographic conditions along the Arabian Peninsula may facilitate the transport of epiphytes and associated taxa offshore. Such long-distance transport mechanisms could further contribute to the rapid (co-)dispersal of some of these organisms into new habitats. Passive rafting should thus be considered in interpretation of sedimentary records and biogeographic patterns.","AbstractOtherLang":null,"BibLvlCode":"AS","StandardTitle":"Seagrass-rafted large benthic foraminifera transported into the deep Red Sea","OrigTitleLangCode":"en","OrigTitleLangCodeExtended":"eng","OrigTitleLangID":15,"DateLastModified":{"date":"2026-07-25 01:58:07.686584","timezone_type":1,"timezone":"+02:00"},"AuthorKeywords":null,"OtherDescriptors":null,"Notes":null,"AnaPub":2025,"MonPub":null,"DateUpdate":"2025-07-07","DateCreate":"2025-07-07","SecASFANote":null,"ConfID":null,"PeerRev":1,"VlizCoreFlag":1,"WoScode":null,"VABBcode":null,"OpenAcc":1,"DOI":"10.1038/s41598-025-90047-7"},"refs":null,"anarec":{"AnaID":409645,"PubliDate":2025,"Pagination":"1-14","XtraPublOfAnaID":null,"ISBN":null,"Volume":"15","Issue":"1","BRefMon":null,"BRefMonRR":null,"BRefXtra":null,"BRefXtraRR":null,"SerBRefID":208093,"SerRR":"Scientific Reports (Nature Publishing Group).
