Sporormiella fungal spores, a palynological means of detecting herbivore density
Owen K. Davis,David S. Shafer +1 more
TL;DR: Spores of the dung fungus Sporormiella are abundant in lake and cave sediment where livestock are plentiful in the western United States during the historic period as mentioned in this paper, reaching values of 2-4% in Pleistocene samples from lake sediments.
Journal ArticleDOI
Antioxidant activity of Sonoran Desert bee pollen
TL;DR: In this article, the results of the FRAP (ferric reducing-antioxidant power) and DPPH (radical 2,2-diphenyl-1-picryhydrazyl) assamptions on six different pollen samples and in eight different water miscible solvents at 50mg/ml.
Journal ArticleDOI
Spores of the Dung Fungus Sporormiella: Increased Abundance in Historic Sediments and Before Pleistocene Megafaunal Extinction
TL;DR: Spores of the dung fungus Sporormiella become abundant following the historic introduction of grazing herbivores at seven sites in the western United States during the Holocene as mentioned in this paper.
Journal ArticleDOI
Rapid climatic change in coastal southern California inferred from pollen analysis of San Joaquin Marsh
TL;DR: Pollen analysis and five radiocarbon dates of a 687-cm core provide a detailed chronology of environmental change in a marsh at the head of Newport Bay, Orange County, California as discussed by the authors.
Journal ArticleDOI
Pollen frequencies reflect vegetation patterns in a great basin (U.S.A.) mountain range
TL;DR: Davis et al. as mentioned in this paper used five indices to quantify the relationship between vegetation and pollen in a mountain range in the arid Great Basin in the United States, based on vegetation coverage and pollen percentages from 63 stands.
