有孔虫的研究被认为是越来越多的省级方法的结果变得更加混乱。这种地方化的根本原因是近年来新分类群的激增，其中许多作者认为是无效的同义词。这个过程的扩散饲料本身，强制执行一个更省的方法，因为描述的类群增加的速度加快，因为缺乏沟通的有孔虫的学生，普遍倾向于过度分裂，并在充分说明和描述有孔虫固有的困难。几种可能的方法来对付这种情况进行了讨论，但都被认为是不切实际的。
The study of Foraminifera is viewed as becoming increasingly more confused as a result of an increasingly provincial approach. The underlying cause of this provincialization is the proliferation of new taxa in recent years, many of which the author considers to be invalid synonyms. This process of proliferation feeds on itself, enforcing a more provincial approach as the description of taxa increases at an accelerating pace because of lack of communication between students of Foraminifera, the widespread tendency toward oversplitting, and difficulties inherent in adequately illustrating and describing Foraminifera. Several possible ways of combating this situation are discussed but all are considered to be impractical.
