Reef calcifiers, such as symbiont-bearing large benthic foraminifera (LBF), play a major role in shaping (sub) tropical ecosystems. LBF are projected to experience larger fluctuations in light levels as well as elevations in sea surface temperatures, which might be accommodated by a shift in their species distribution towards cooler subtropical regions. While foraminifera are highly sensitive to environmental changes, their light and temper- ature niches have not been well characterized. Here we examined the ability of the diatom-bearing Heterostegina depressa to acclimate to a range of light levels (from 0 to 50 μmol photons m
