An overview of the taxonomic groups of non-pollen palynomorphs
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) …

Centennial-scale climate change in Ireland during the Holocene
We examine mid-to late Holocene centennial-scale climate variability in Ireland using proxy
data from peatlands, lakes and a speleothem. A high degree of between-record variability is …

Potential implications of differential preservation of testate amoeba shells for paleoenvironmental reconstruction in peatlands
EAD Mitchell, RJ Payne, M Lamentowicz - Journal of Paleolimnology, 2008 - Springer
Testate amoebae are now commonly used in paleoenvironmental studies but little is known
of their taphonomy. There is some experimental evidence for differential preservation of …
