Site details The mire of Targuist (34° 49′ 9.26′′ N, 4° 26′ 13.78′′ W) is located at 1780 m above sea level (a.s.l.), in the central part of the Rif Mountains, 7 km southeast of Jbel Tidirhine (2456 m a.s.l.). The highest peaks, over 2000 m a.s.l., are formed by quartzitic ridges, whereas predominant bedrock at lower altitudes are schist, grauwacke and sandstone from the Cretaceous period (Despois & Raynal 1967). Targuist weather station (1030 m a.s.l.) shows a mean annual temperature of 13 °C and a mean annual rainfall which hardly reaches 500 mm. However, the study area, located 18 km southwest, is included in the humid bioclimate range, with mean annual precipitation higher than 1200 mm (Benabid 1984). Vegetation is mainly made up of cedar (Cedrus atlantica (Endl.) Manetti ex Carriere) forests, which define the transition between the Supramediterranean and Mountain Mediterranean belts (Taleb & Fennane 2019), accompanied by evergreen and deciduous oaks (Quercus ilex L., Q. pyrenaica Willd., Q. faginea Lam. and Q. canariensis Willd.), Acer granatense Boiss. and Ilex aquifolium L. Cytisus megalanthus (Pau et Font Quer) Font Quer, Genista carpetana Leresche ex Lange, Cistus laurifolius L. and Halimium atlanticum Humbert et Maire form the shrubland. Also characteristic are Luzula forsteri (Sm.) DC., Digitalis purpurea L., Arenaria pomelii Munby, Vicia cedretorum Font Quer and Viola munbyana Boiss. & Reut. (Quezel 1998; Charco 1999). Riparian woods are mainly formed by Prunus lusitanica L. with Betula fontqueri Rothm. The vegetation by the mire is mainly composed of some genera of Cyperaceae, such as Carex L. or Cyperus L. and Poaceae, such as Molinia caerulea (L.) Moench or Danthonia decumbens (L.) DC.; as well as other species including Juncus heterophyllus Dufour, Ranunculus L. spp. and Isoetes L. sp.
Targuist沼泽(北纬34°49′9.26”，西经4°26′13.78”)位于海拔1780米(a.s.l)，位于Rif山脉中部，Jbel Tidirhine东南7公里(a.s.l 2456米)。海拔2000米以上的最高峰是由石英岩脊形成的，而较低海拔的主要基岩是白垩纪的片岩、砾岩和砂岩(Despois & Raynal 1967)。塔格斯特气象站(1030m a.s.l.)显示，年平均气温为13°C，年平均降雨量几乎达不到500毫米。然而，研究区位于西南18 km，属于湿润生物气候范围，年平均降水量大于1200 mm (Benabid 1984)。植被主要由雪松(Cedrus atlantica)组成。Manetti ex Carriere)森林，它定义了地中海和地中海山脉带之间的过渡(Taleb & Fennane 2019)，伴随着常绿和落叶橡树(Quercus ilex L.， Q. pyrenaica野生)。， Q. faginea Lam。canariensis wild .)， Acer granatense Boiss.;灌木林地由水杨花冬青(Ilex aquifolium L.)、巨型Cytisus megalanthus (Pau et Font Quer)、龙葵(Genista carpetana Leresche ex Lange)、月桂树(Cistus laurifolius L.)和大西洋海苔(Halimium atlanticum Humbert et Maire)组成。同样具有特色的还有鹿茸。直流。、洋地黄、柚子草、紫堇、紫堇。& Reut。(Quezel 1998;Charco 1999)。河岸林地主要由路西桃树和枫树桦树组成。沼泽旁的植被主要由一些苏科属(如Carex L.或Cyperus L.)和Poaceae(如Molinia caerulea (L.))组成。牡丹或丹参(L.)直流。以及其他种类，包括花楸、毛茛和水韭。

Abstract This study focuses on the pollen season timing and intensity, and the influence of weather conditions, on airborne Cupressaceae, Quercus, and Poaceae pollen in two different biogeographical areas, Córdoba (Spain) and Tulsa, Oklahoma (USA), during 2010–2014. Pollen concentrations were recorded using Hirst-type spore traps. The meteorological parameters studied included temperature, relative humidity, wind speed, and rainfall. This study aims to define the pollen seasons and their intensity and relationships with meteorological parameters in different biogeographical areas. The main pollen season (MPS) of each pollen type was divided into two periods: pre-peak and post-peak. The Shapiro–Wilk normality test was applied to the pollen concentrations and log transformed data were used. Pearson correlations and linear regression were applied for the pre-peak, post-peak, and MPS for comparing pollen concentrations with meteorological parameters considering both the same day and the previous day. Then, multiple regression analysis was applied with all the meteorological parameters that showed significant results in the linear regression. The models were validated through correlations between the measured and predicted pollen concentrations. The results showed a small difference in the MPS for the different pollen types at each site. Temperature, relative humidity, and rainfall influenced the pollen concentrations. The same day's meteorological parameters usually had a greater impact on the pollen concentration than the previous day's meteorological parameters; although, pollen concentrations for the next day could be forecasted considering the meteorological parameters forecasted for the present day. The pollen concentrations showed greater correlations with temperature.

Abstract Nissolia has one of the most complex taxonomic histories of the informal Adesmia clade. In order to find additional taxonomic relevant characters for this genus, we studied the pollen morphology, ultrasculpture, and ultrastructure of 21 species and a single variety of Nissolia using light, scanning, and electron transmission microscopy. Additionally, a principal component analysis was performed to elucidate patterns of quantitative data variation among species concerning the most recent molecular data. Three pollen types are described based on mesocolpium sexine ornamentation. Furthermore, pollen grain size and shape, class of endoaperture, ultrasculpture of the operculum, membrane, and apocolpium sexine were informative pollen features for species recognition and delimitation in Nissolia. We conclude that pollen morphology and pollen types are related to species and phylogenetic distribution in Nissolia, providing valuable characters for taxonomic studies in the Adesmia clade.

Abstract Thirty-three honey samples were collected between 2017 and 2018 in Kastamonu Province, in order to characterise the palynological and physico-chemical properties of the honey produced in the western Black Sea region of Türkiye. Melissopalynological characteristics of the honey samples were determined based on the total pollen number in 10 g (TPN-10 g) along with the pollen taxa diversity. The physicochemical properties of the samples including humidity ratio, volatile organic compounds, total phenolic content, fructose/glucose ratio and hydroxymethylfurfural (HMF) content were determined using a refractometer, gas chromatography coupled with mass spectrometry (GC–MS), ultraviolet-visible spectrometry and high-performance liquid chromatography, respectively. Melissopalynological analysis revealed that the honey samples contain 49 taxa, of which 18 were determined at family level and 31 were determined at genus level. The most common taxon was Castanea sativa while the other important taxa were Apiaceae, Asteraceae, Amaranthaceae, Boraginaceae, Brassicaceae, Fabaceae and Lamiaceae. Eleven out of 33 honey samples were monofloral and the remaining 22 samples were multifloral. According to the TPN-10 g results of the honey samples, the total number of pollens in 10 g of Kastamonu honey was between 1051 and 325 108 pollen grains. The moisture ratio was obtained between 11.9 and 18.9% while the fructose + glucose values were between 35.84 and 84.1 g/100 g. HMF content varied between 0.38 and 21.31 ppm while the total phenolic content varied between 39.6 and 138.8 mg GAE/100 g. The GC–MS analysis revealed that the samples contain compounds belonging to the groups of aldehydes, aliphatic acid and its esters, alcohols, hydrocarbons, flavonoids, carboxylic acid and esters, ketones, and sugars.

Abstract The Central Corridor of the Atlantic Forest is noted for its biodiversity of flora and fauna, with a high number of endemic species. Studies that characterise the tropical bee flora and bee products in these areas are scarce. This study therefore sought to characterise the pollen spectrum of honey from Apis mellifera L. (Hymenoptera, Apidae) in some municipalities found in the Central Corridor of the Atlantic Forest, in Bahia, Brazil. A total of 16 honey samples from Belmonte, Camacan, Eunápolis, Itabela, Itabuna, Ilhéus, Medeiros Neto, and Valença were analysed. The honey was acetolysed and the mounted slides were analysed under light microscopy, from which at least 500 pollen types per sample were counted. In total, 60 pollen types with botanically determined origin were found, comprising 52 genera in 24 families. For this study, pollen types having a prevalence equal to or greater than 10% in the samples were emphasised. Thus, we found 14 most representative pollen types, related to eight families. Fabaceae was the richest, with a total of four recorded pollen types, of which Mimosa pudica stood out, found in 56.2% of samples. Eucalyptus (Myrtaceae) had a high frequency distribution, especially in Belmonte, Eunápolis, Valença, and Medeiros Neto, where it was a predominant pollen, due to reforestation with Eucalyptus spp. for commercial purposes in these municipalities. In addition, Alternanthera brasiliana and Chamaecrista were predominant pollen in samples from Camacan and Medeiros Neto, respectively. The similarity analysis revealed the environmental heterogeneity of this tropical region.

Abstract Approximately 500 native edible fruits are known from Brazil with nearly 50% of these occurring in the Amazon. Pollen morphology of Brazilian plant species is poorly known yet it is important for scientific research. The aim of this study is to document the pollen morphology of 30 native edible fruit species belonging to 13 families. Following acetolysis the pollen was examined by light microscopy. Pollen grains ranged from small to very large. Prolate spheroidal and subprolate shapes predominated in most species, and most pollen grains had outline triangular to subtriangular. Polyads, tetrads and monads were observed, and the aperture arrangement varied from inarperturate to colpate and colporate, with the majority being 3-colporate and having a reticulate sexine. The species documented will contribute to pollen flora of Brazil and the information used in melissopalynollogical studies.
