Fungal spores that grew on the faeces of herbivores in the past can be extracted from
sediments and used to identify the presence of herbivores in former ecosystems. This …

The use of spores of coprophilous fungi from sedimentary sequences as proxy evidence for
large herbivore abundance has garnered pronounced attention and scrutiny over the past …

Non-pollen palynomorphs (NPP) in pollen slides form a large, inhomogeneous group of
remains of organisms that represents a memory of former, often strictly local environmental …

Non-pollen palynomorphs (NPPs) are 'extra'microfossils often found in palynology slides.
These include remains of organisms within the size range of pollen grains (c. 10–250 µm) …

Abstract The Qinghai-Tibet Plateau (QTP)–also called the “third pole”–is an ideal area to
study the long-term relationship between people and the environment due to its sensitivity to …

Pollen analysis and radiocarbon dating of a 1.4 m deep lacustrine sediment profile from
Chhattisgarh State, central India, in the core monsoon zone (CMZ), has revealed the …

A coupled pollen-brGDGT paleoclimate reconstruction approach has been tested to provide
independent and robust estimates of Holocene climate and environment changes in the …

The history of permanent human settlement in the high-altitude regions (> 3000 m above
sea level [masl]) of the Qinghai-Tibetan Plateau (QTP) is important in understanding human …

The earliest eukaryotes recorded in continental environments are non-pollen palynomorphs
(NPP) in Mesoproterozoic strata, and NPP provide our best insights into lacustrine …

Herbivory plays a significant role in regulating many contemporary terrestrial plant
ecosystems, but remains an imperfectly understood component of past ecosystem dynamics …
