From pollen forecasting, honey analysis and climate-related changes in plant-pollinator interactions, analysing pollen plays an important role in many areas of research. Microscopy is still the gold ...

Taxonomic resolution is a major challenge in palynology, largely limiting the ecological and evolutionary interpretations possible with deep-time fossil pollen data. We present an approach for fossil ...

Aeroallergens like dust mites, pollens, dogs' and cats' dander and mold can influence the respiratory system and these allergens can be the consequences of respiratory diseases such as asthma and ...
