. Benthic foraminifera fromBottsand coastal lagoon, western Baltic Sea, have been studied since themid-1960s. They were monitored annually in late autumn since 2003 at theterminal ditch of the lagoon. There were 12 different species recognised, ofwhich three have not been recorded during earlier investigations. Dominantspecies showed strong interannual fluctuations and a steady increase inpopulation densities over the last decade. Elphidium incertum, astenohaline species of the Baltic deep water fauna, colonised the Bottsandlagoon in 2016, most likely during a period of salinities >19units and water temperatures of 18  ∘ C on average in early autumn.The high salinities probably triggered their germination from a propagulebank in the ditch bottom sediment. The new E. incertum populationshowed densities higher by an order of magnitude than those of the indigenousspecies. The latter did not decline, revealing that E. incertum usedanother food source or occupied a different microhabitat. Elphidium incertum survived transient periods of lower salinities in late autumn 2017,though with reduced abundances, and became a regular faunal constituent atthe Bottsand lagoon.
