Popis: Article is devoted to a research of warm-loving species of planktonic foraminifera in the Arctic. Fauna of the planktonic and the benthic foraminifera in the surface and subsurface layer of the Kara Sea sediments was studied. It is found that complexes of the benthic foraminifera are characteristic for this region. It is shown also what at complexes of planktonic foraminifera the significant amount of kinds of warm-loving species from equatorial, tropical and subtropical regions are presented. It is supposed that they are brought to the Arctic by a current from low latitudes. The received results are compared with the published data. Earlier it was shown that alive warm-loving species meet in waters of the Laptev Sea and their shells were observed in the present sediments of the marginal part of the Laptev Sea.
