Aim Megathermal rain forests and mangroves are much smaller in extent today than in the
early Cenozoic, primarily owing to global cooling and drying trends since the Eocene …

A sediment sample dating from the Late Pleistocene from Ban Bo So, Singha Nakhon
district, Songkhla province, in the Sathingpra Peninsula of southern Thailand was extracted …

The African palm fossil record is limited but the data provide an outline of palm evolution
from the Late Cretaceous through the Neogene. Pollen attributed to palms is reported from …

Aim Forest composition and distribution are determined by a myriad of factors, including
climate. As models of tropical rain forest, palms are often used as indicator taxa, particularly …

A small assemblage of macro-and micro floral remains comprising fossil leaf impressions,
silicified wood, spores, and pollen grains is reported from the Paleocene–lower Eocene …

While the latitudinal diversity gradient has received much attention, biodiversity and species
richness also vary between continents across similar latitudes. Fossil information can be …

Abstract Pollen analyses of Late Quaternary sediments from nine marine piston-cores reveal
a continuous vegetation and environmental record for eastern Indonesia and northern …

Pollen assemblages of the Gokarna Formation were studied from a 27 m thick section near
Dhapasi, Kathmandu. The analysis of 42 sediment samples revealed six zones. The lower …

New palm leaves from the Oligocene Ningming Formation are placed into the morphogenus
Sabalites because of their costapalmate leaf shape. Four taxa are described on the basis of …

Pollen keys are essential for accurate and consistent identification of Quaternary pollen, as
well as pre-Quaternary fossil pollen, which in turn enables a better understanding of past …
