Landscape-scale drivers of glacial ecosystem change in the montane forests of the eastern Andean flank, Ecuador [PDF]

open access: yes, 2018
Understanding the impact of landscape-scale disturbance events during the last glacial period is vital in accu- rately reconstructing the ecosystem dynamics of montane environments. Here, a sedimentary succession from the tropical montane cloud forest of

Insights into Red Deer Ecology during the Late Epigravettian: New isotopic evidence from Riparo Tagliente (Italian Prealps)

open access: yesJournal of Quaternary Science, EarlyView.
Abstract The transition from the Last Glacial Maximum to the Late Glacial marked a shift from the cold conditions of Greenland Stadial‐2 (GS‐2) to the warmer phases of Greenland Interstadial‐1 (GI‐1), enabling the reoccupation of Alpine regions by Late Palaeolithic hunter‐gatherers.

Spatially Aware Dictionary Learning and Coding for Fossil Pollen Identification

open access: yes, 2016
We propose a robust approach for performing automatic species-level recognition of fossil pollen grains in microscopy images that exploits both global shape and local texture characteristics in a patch-based matching methodology.

Paleogene monsoons across India and South China: Drivers of biotic change [PDF]

open access: yes, 2017
Monsoonal climates at low latitudes (2. Fossil leaf form reveals that under such 'hothouse' conditions megathermal early Eocene to earliest Miocene forests were exposed to strong monsoonal climates typical of those experienced today arising from annual ...

Fossil Pollen in Scottish Tertiary Coals [PDF]

open access: yesNature, 1936
THE application of Raistrick's method1 of extracting microspores from Carboniferous coals to lignites of Tertiary age from Mull and Morvern, Argyllshire, has revealed that these inferior coals are rich in pollen in a good state of preservation.

Digitizing collections to unlock the full potential of palynology: A case study with the Smithsonian palynology collection

open access: yesPLANTS, PEOPLE, PLANET, EarlyView.
Large palynological collections have been built over decades and contain vital information. However, they are often difficult to access and use effectively. What is the point of having such collections if they are not fully utilizable? To solve this problem, we digitized the Smithsonian palynological collection using both light and confocal microscopy.

Subfossil spore-pollen spectra of mountainous areas: the case of the Kamchatka Peninsula [PDF]

open access: yesГеосистемы переходных зон
The article presents the results of the composition analysis of 27 recent (surface) pollen assemblages collected in typical plant communities in the northern part of the Central Kamchatka Depression and on the surrounding slopes of the Sredinny Range ...

The shared benefits of fallen fruits: A novel mechanism stabilizing a nursery pollination mutualism between Sambucus and kateretid beetles

open access: yesPLANTS, PEOPLE, PLANET, EarlyView.
Understanding how cooperative interactions remain stable matters for biodiversity because many plants rely on specialist insects that can also impose reproductive costs. We studied the interaction between Sambucus sieboldiana and seed‐consuming Heterhelus beetles through detailed field observations and pollination experiments.

Taxon Cycles in Neotropical Mangroves

open access: yesPlants, 2023
The concept of the taxon cycle involves successive range expansions and contractions over time, through which a species can indefinitely maintain its core distribution. Otherwise, it becomes extinct.

Taxonomic differences between Pinus sylvestris and P. uncinata revealed in the stomata and cuticle characters for use in the study of fossil material [PDF]

open access: yes, 2009
Taxonomic differences in the needle epidermis characteristics of Pinus sylvestris L. and Pinus uncinata Ramond ex DC. from two Iberian populations were sought; such information could help identify these species when pollen analysis and the inspection of ...
