ABSTRACTCuticular remains of the phyllocarid crustaceans Caryocaris? and Ceratiocaris? obtained via maceration of macrofossil remains in hydrofluoric acid are compared with dispersed fragments isolated using both the low-manipulation HF extraction and the standard HCl–HF–HCl method. The studied specimens were obtained from Ordovician and Silurian shales of the Šárka and Požáry formations (Prague Basin, Barrandian area, Czech Republic). This methodological approach allows a direct comparison of macrofossil remains with microfossils in residue.

AbstractPlebeia mansita is a native stingless bee endemic to the Yungas whose populations are distributed in sectors above 1000 m a.s.l. Its honeys and other products are used by local residents for various purposes, from food to medicinal uses. With the purpose of knowing the botanical resources that contribute nectar and nesting to this species of bee in the town of Baritú (22° 28’ 54.1” S; 64° 45’ 39.4” W; at 1546 m a.s.l.), it was analyzed 41 honey samples collected between September 2011 and September 2015 and recorded the main host trees. The samples it was examined with palynological techniques with acetolysis, observing the use of pollen types belonging to native plants, mainly of arboreal habit. Pollen richness per sample varied from 13 to 31 pollen types (mean = 22.7) in which where the family Asteraceae had the highest number of pollen types (n = 9) and nectar relevance, followed by the Myrtaceae family. Relevant pollen types correspond to Blepharocalyx salicifolius, Ilex argentina, Myrcianthes pseudomato and Allophylus edulis, followed by Sambucus peruviana, Parapiptadenia excelsa, Handroanthus lapacho, Myrsine coriacea and Zanthoxylum. Other recorded pollen types with importance index values less than 3.5% were Eupatorium, Dendrophorbium bomanii, Senecio, Pseudognaphalium and pollen of the families Asteraceae and Rhamnaceae. On the other hand, when evaluating nesting substrates it was recorded a frequency of use of trunks of Ilex argentina (55.9%), Parapiptadenia excelsa (10.3%), Myrcianthes pungens (7.4%), M. pseudomato (5.9%), Juglans australis (4.4%), Handroanthus lapacho (2.9%) and Blepharocalyx salicifolius, Myrsine coriacea, Ocotea porphyria, Viburnum seemenii, Myrcianthes mato, Roupala montana var. brasiliensis and Erithrina falcata with a value of 1.5%. each. The results obtained provide valuable information on the plants that provide nectar and nesting sites for this stingless bee. This information should be considered for the preparation of conservation or production plans for their hives and pollination activities.Keywords: Melissopalynologystingless beesmelliferous floranestingDisclaimerAs a service to authors and researchers we are providing this version of an accepted manuscript (AM).

AbstractThe Keresta Formation, located in the Volgograd-Volga region (the Volga-Caspian subregion of southwest Russia) has been dated as a Middle Eocene, Lutetian based on dinoflagellate cysts as the Enneadocysta arcuata Zone and nannofossils from the Lutetian Subzones CP13c-CP14a. Within this interval, four new species of dinoflagellate cysts were described: Spiniferella grigorovichiae sp. nov., Impagidinium tuberculatum sp. nov., Hystrichostrogylon crassitunicatum sp. nov. and Hystrichosphaeropsis tenerum sp. nov. The new species present a high correlation potential for Middle Eocene stratigraphy over the southern part of the Russian Platform. Also, the assemblage of organic-walled microphytoplankton from the Keresta Formation indicates warm water marine environments within the marginal part of the Paratethys Basin.Keywords: Dinoflagellate cystsMiddle EoceneLutetiansouthwest RussiaVolgograd-Volga regionDisclaimerAs a service to authors and researchers we are providing this version of an accepted manuscript (AM).

ABSTRACT The morphological characteristics of pollen grains of Linum species in Mexico have not previously been evaluated in quantitative terms. This study reports statistical values of pollen characteristics – polar axis, equatorial axis, shape, polar area, exine thickness, sexine thickness, nexine thickness, and height and diameter of ornamental pollen elements – of 11 of the 13 endemic species accepted to date and for which material was available: L. cruciata, L. flagellare, L. lasiocarpum, L. longipes, L. mexicanum, L. modestum, L. orizabae, L. pringlei, L. rzedowskii, L. scabrellum, and L. tenellum. The detailed light and scanning electron microscopy study revealed that the pollen is prolate-spheroidal to subprolate, tricolpate and with semitectate exine sculptured with bacula, clavae, gemmae or spines whose height and diameter follow a homogeneous, intermediate, or heterogeneous pattern. The principal component analysis found that five characters, namely the height of the ornamental elements, sexine thickness, exine thickness, diameter of ornamental elements, and nexine thickness, explained the highest percentage of the variance between species. The cluster and discriminant analyses classified some of the species into three groups and differentiated three of them according to their morphology. The difficulty in distinguishing some species through a conventional approach was solved conveniently using palynological traits since the ornamentation pattern of pollen grains was unique and because grains of various species were statistically different, thus representing a tool for identifying Linum species.

AbstractPollen morphology serves as a valuable tool for identification, phylogenetic analysis and evolutionary studies. The present study aims to investigate the pollen morphology of 12 species of the genus Ipomoea L. (a diverse and economically important genus within the family Convolvulaceae) from Garhwal Himalaya, India. Fresh flower buds were collected from the study area and pollen preparation was done using the acetolysis method. The morphology of the pollen grains was examined using light microscopy (LM) and scanning electron microscopy (SEM). Pollen grains of all the studied species were apolar, spheroidal, pantoporate, subtectate with fine reticulation and echinate but they differed from one another in their size, number of spines and pores, spine length and spine types. The size of grains ranged from 53.3 μm to 128.7 μm. Cluster analysis was performed based on pollen characters to show the relationship among the species and a key was prepared and discussed. The observed variation in pollen morphological traits gives important taxonomic information that is useful for distinguishing Ipomoea species and establishing taxonomic and phylogenetic relationships.Keywords: IpomoeaPantoporateSpineSpheroidalCluster analysisDisclaimerAs a service to authors and researchers we are providing this version of an accepted manuscript (AM).

AbstractThis article presents a pollen study of 13 species of Dendrophorbium (Asteraceae: Senecioneae) occurring in Brazil. Dendrophorbium has species distributed in the South and Southeast regions of the Brazilian territory that were previously grouped in Senecio Myriocephalus sect. and later Dendrophorbium was elevated to the rank of genus, considering the section Myriocephalus as a synonym of Dendrophorbium. The aim of this study is to advance knowledge of the pollen characteristics of the genus and thus contribute to the taxonomy of the group. The botanical material was collected from specimens deposited in national herbaria. Floral buds were acetolysed for light microscopic analysis. Pollen sediments were mounted on slides with glycerinated gelatin and analyzed under a light microscope. Measurements were taken of the diameters and thickness of exine layers of pollen grains. Examination showed pollen grains to be monadic, isopolar, medium-sized, oblate-spheroidal to prolate-spheroidal, and 3-colporate. The endoaperture has median constriction in most species, except in D. pellucidinerve. The sexine is thicker than the nexine and echinate, with large perforations at the base of echinae. The exine is caveate. Based on the results, it can be concluded that the pollen grains of the 13 Dendrophorbium species are homogeneous and can be differentiated by aperture shape and dimensions and echinus characteristics.Keywords: CompositaemorphologyPalynologytaxonomyDisclaimerAs a service to authors and researchers we are providing this version of an accepted manuscript (AM).

Based on the results, it can be concluded that the pollen grains of the 13 Dendrophorbium species are homogeneous and can be differentiated by aperture shape and dimensions and echinus characteristics.Keywords: CompositaemorphologyPalynologytaxonomyDisclaimerAs a service to authors and researchers we are providing this version of an accepted manuscript (AM).

ABSTRACTAstragalus L. sect. Aegacantha Bunge has 57 described species mostly confined in Southwest Asia and Central Asia. Here, we studied the pollen morphology of 17 species from this section present in Pakistan. Pollen morphology of sect. Aegacantha species is poorly investigated despite its systematic importance. The main aim of this study is to determine and document the pollen characters that can help in the taxonomic identification of species in this difficult section. Pollen slides were prepared following acetolysis and examined by both light and scanning electron microscopy. Pollen size varies, with the polar axis ranging from 32.91-43.10 μm and the equatorial axis from 22.91-28.47 μm. The shape of pollen is sub-prolate (1.15-1.33) to prolate (1.34-2.00), small to medium in size, radially symmetrical, isopolar, trizonocolporate to tricolporate and monads. Sculpturing variations (i.e. reticulate, microreticulate, perforate, microperforate, regulate, microregulate and granulate) were observed around the apertural, meridional and polar regions. Ordination (PCA) analysis revealed that the quantitative characters of pollen morphology are the most reliable characters for delimitation of section Aegacantha species. Cluster (UPGMA) analysis shows a partial relationship between the Aegacantha taxa clustered based on pollen characters and supports the general morphology. Further, this study shows that the pollen traits provide a baseline for phylogenetic optimization in the investigated Aegacantha section.KEYWORDS: TaxonomypalynologyphylogenySEM-analysisPCAUPGMAPakistanDisclaimerAs a service to authors and researchers we are providing this version of an accepted manuscript (AM).

AbstractThe exine ultrastructure of eighteen species of Anisopappus (Anisopappinae, Athroismeae, Asteraceae) and three species of Duhaldea (Inuleae, Asteraceae) was studied using Transmission Electron Microscopy (TEM). Two ultrastructural patterns were identified: Senecioid and Helianthoid. The Senecioid pattern is characteristic of the species included in the basal clades of the phylogenetic tree of Anisopappus, as published in earlier studies. The Helianthoid pattern is restricted to the taxa placed in the derived clades, including the core group of species of Anisopappus where A. chinensis, the type species, is included. The observed ultrastructural differences seem to suggest that a future splitting of Anisopappus into several different genera should not be disregarded and that the Helianthoid pattern represents, within this genus, the derived condition. The ultrastructure of the exine supports the inclusion, suggested by previous authors, of the species Duhaldea stuhlmannii, but not that of Philyrophyllum schinzii, in Anisopappus. In contrast, the three studied species of Duhaldea (D. cappa, D. nervosa, D. revoluta) present an exine with a Senecioid pattern, which is characteristic of the tribe Inuleae, in which they are included. The ectoaperture, mesoaperture, and endoaperture of all studied Anisopappinae and of Duhaldea, respectively intersect the tectum plus columellae, the foot layer and the outer part of the endexine, and the inner part of the endexine. This feature seems to characterize, in a consistent way, the “Heliantheae alliance”, and is also present in all the studied Asteroideae (excl. Anthemideae), Dicomoideae, and Carduoideae.Keywords: AnisopappusAnisopappinaeDuhaldeaexinemesoaperturespalynotaxonomyultrastructureDisclaimerAs a service to authors and researchers we are providing this version of an accepted manuscript (AM).

摘要利用透射电子显微镜(TEM)研究了18种异角蕨科(异角蕨科，刺尾蕨科)和3种杜鹃科(刺尾蕨科，菊科)的外壁超微结构。发现两种超微结构模式:Senecioid和Helianthoid。在早期的研究中发表的研究结果表明，Senecioid模式是异角猿系统发育树的基础分支中包含的物种的特征。Helianthoid模式仅限于被置于衍生枝中的分类群，包括以模式种中国古猿(A. chinensis)为代表的异距鸟(Anisopappus)核心类群。观察到的超微结构差异似乎表明，不应忽视未来异角猿分裂为几个不同属的可能性，而在这个属中，Helianthoid模式代表了衍生的条件。外壁的超微结构支持了先前作者提出的物种Duhaldea stuhlmannii的包含，而不是Philyrophyllum schinzii的包含。相比之下，所研究的Duhaldea (D. cappa, D. nervosa, D. revoluta)的三个种呈现出具有Senecioid模式的外壁，这是Inuleae部落的特征，它们被包括在其中。所研究的异松科和杜哈尔亚科的外孔、中孔和内孔分别相交于顶盖加小柱、足部与叶尖外侧和叶尖内侧。这一特征似乎是“Heliantheae联盟”的一贯特征，也存在于所有研究的Asteroideae(不包括Anthemideae)、Dicomoideae和Carduoideae中。关键词:异角蝶，异角蝶，duhaldeexineme, esoaperture, respalyno, taxonomy，超微结构免责声明作为对作者和研究人员的服务，我们提供这个版本的接受稿件(AM)。在最终出版版本记录(VoR)之前，将对该手稿进行编辑、排版和审查。在制作和印前，可能会发现可能影响内容的错误，所有适用于期刊的法律免责声明也与这些版本有关。

ABSTRACTOur study focused on the pollen morphology of 13 Matthiola species and the closely related genus Dvorakia. We used light and scanning electron microscopes to examine the importance of pollen characteristics in classifying these genera. Pollen grains were acetolysed, measured, photographed, and described based on qualitative and quantitative characteristics. Here, we present statistical analyses and multivariate statistics for quantitative data. Pollen in both genera is tricolpate and varies in shape from subprolate to prolate. We distinguish two pollen types based on lumen width. Matthiola pollen has both reticulate and macroreticulate ornamentation, while Dvorakia alyssifolia pollen is reticulate. The thickness of the exine and the width of the mesocolpium are important traits in addition to exine ornamentation. Iranian Dvorakia and Matthiola species' pollen size can be divided into four types, one of which is Type I (Dvorakia alyssifolia-type). Among the examined species, M. tomentosa has the smallest pollen grains, while D. alyssifolia has the biggest grains. Pollen morphology confirms the transfer of D. alyssifolia from Matthiola to Dvorakia. Additionally, we propose a species key for the genera.KEYWORDS: palynologyscanning electron microscopic studytaxonomytricolpateDisclaimerAs a service to authors and researchers we are providing this version of an accepted manuscript (AM).

ABSTRACTIn 1937, the Swedish palynologist Gunnar Erdtman (1897–1973) mounted two adapted vacuum cleaners atop an ocean-going liner and set out to obtain air samples as he crossed the Atlantic Ocean. The devices were able to capture samples of airborne pollen which were related to air volume and distance from land. The results of this investigation are still cited in the scientific literature, but a study of some overlooked publications demonstrates that the ocean study had land-based antecedents. Furthermore, archival investigation reveals the background to such studies, including the technical plans for Erdtman’s ‘aerosol collector’, records of raw data from the voyage, draft portions of the key publication, photographs and the precise location of the land-based equipment. A storage loft in the Swedish Museum of Natural History in Stockholm has been found to house the surviving aerosol collector.KEYWORDS: Gunnar Erdtmanarchiveslong distance pollen rainNorth Atlantic Oceanvacuum cleaneraerosol collectorhistory of scienceDisclaimerAs a service to authors and researchers we are providing this version of an accepted manuscript (AM).

1937年，瑞典孢粉学家Gunnar Erdtman(1897-1973)在一艘远洋客轮上安装了两台经过改装的真空吸尘器，开始在横渡大西洋时采集空气样本。该装置能够捕获空气中花粉的样本，这些样本与空气量和与陆地的距离有关。这项调查的结果仍然在科学文献中被引用，但对一些被忽视的出版物的研究表明，海洋研究有陆地研究的先例。此外，档案调查揭示了这些研究的背景，包括厄德特曼“气溶胶收集器”的技术计划、航行原始数据的记录、关键出版物的草稿部分、照片和陆基设备的精确位置。人们在斯德哥尔摩的瑞典自然历史博物馆找到了一个储藏阁楼，用来存放现存的气溶胶收集器。关键词:Gunnar erdtmanarchives远距离花粉雨北大西洋海洋真空吸尘器气溶胶收集器科学史免责声明作为对作者和研究人员的服务，我们提供此版本的接受稿件(AM)。在最终出版版本记录(VoR)之前，将对该手稿进行编辑、排版和审查。在制作和印前，可能会发现可能影响内容的错误，所有适用于期刊的法律免责声明也与这些版本有关。KEVIN J.
