Oenanthe millefolia (Apiaceae), which is presented as a new recorded species for the Turkish flora, was discovered for the first time in Kırklareli province of Turkey. It is also reported as a new species for the Greek flora based on an unidentified specimen which was collected from the Thrace region of Greece. In this study, an expanded morphological description, the geographical distribution,...

In conjunction with the Permian-Triassic ecologic crisis approximately 250 million years ago, massive dieback of coniferous vegetation resulted in a degradation of terrestrial ecosystems in Europe. A 4- to 5-million-year period of lycopsid dominance followed, and renewed proliferation of conifers did not occur before the transition between Early and Middle Triassic. We document this delayed re-...

Wilkinsonia bilt/minata F. M uell., 1 879 is recorded from interseam Victoria. The genus was widely distributed throughout eastern Australia during the The palynological record for both Yallourn and the type locality has not suggested that either Athertonia, the most related extant taxon, or the sub tribe Hicksbeachiinae were present in these localities. There are two inferences from these resu...

The Poigny borehole near Provins (Seine-et-Marne) provides the most complete single pristine section through Upper Cretaceous Chalk of Paris Basin. A well preserved and diverse palynoflora including 236 species subspecies organic-walled dinoflagellate cysts (dinocysts) is documented from borehole, together with a high-resolution carbon-isotope curve (δ 13 C carb ) for Coniacian–Campanian interv...

Palynological and archaeobotanical analyses have been carried out as part of the interdisciplinary project Colombare di Negrar, a prehistoric site in Lessini Mountains (northern Italy). The palaeoenvironmental economic reconstruction from Late Neolithic to beginning Early Bronze Age was based on 16 pollen samples three macroremains taken two contiguous trenches. landscape shows presence natural...

Obtaining quantitative information concerning pollinator behaviour has become a primary objective of pollination studies, but methodological limitations hinder progress towards this goal. Here, we use molecular genetic methods in an ecological context to demonstrate that endemic Hawaiian Hylaeus bees (Hymenoptera: Colletidae) selectively collect pollen from native plant species in Haleakala and...
