    “The Chiribiquete are table top mountains located deep in the Colombian Amazon and host many rare endemic species. Helanlin Xiang's work shows that the Chiribiquete Mountains likely upifted before the Early Miocene and could have acted as a long-lived stepping stone, connecting species in the Andes with the Guyana Shield…”

  10. Edward Smith Deevey Jr. (3 December 1914 – 29 November 1988), born in #AlbanyNewYork, was a prominent American #ecologist and #paleolimnologist, and an early protégé of #GEvelynHutchinson at #YaleUniversity. He was a creative pioneer in several areas, including quantitative #palynology, cycling of natural #isotopes, #biogeochemistry, #populationDynamics, #systematics and #ecology of freshwater #zooplankton, and he promoted the use of life tables in ecology. In 1938.

  11. Someone has kindly included me in an email chain about a pollen library. Very generous. And yet, one of my career aspirations is to NEVER have to spend time staring at pollen down a microscope. How does one say that politely?!

  12. Palynomorphs

    TIL There is a concept that refers to spores of ferns and mosses, to pollen of seed plants, to dinoflagellates, and to some extinct stuff.

  13. #AmReading: The Nature of Life and Death: Every Body Leaves a Trace by Patricia Wiltshire

    “We all leave our marks on the environment, but the environment leaves its mark on us too…”

    Turns out you’ll never get away with the perfect crime if this lady has anything to say about it. She’s a forensic ecologist, botanist, and archeological palynologist.

    What does that even mean?!

    Patricia Wiltshire is one of the leading experts in the study of plants, pollen, fungi, spores, and how they provide crucial evidence in criminal investigations. Her book weaves science lessons with personal anecdotes, explaining how these innocuous materials have determined the fates of many a court case.

    I had absolutely no clue how specific the evidence could get. Locations can be pinpointed with unnerving accuracy. Witness accounts can be proven or disproven. Missing bodies can be found based off microscopic debris on the gas pedal of a car.

    This is a great book for anyone who wants to get into the weeds (see what I did there?) of forensic and plant related minutiae. It’s VERY sciencey. Be prepared to read pages about the differences between types of pollen, but the overall picture is fascinating. The author also relays the events of her life that led her into such an unusual field (that’s another pun). Some of her stories are a bit gruesome, but if you’re reading forensic type books for fun, that’s probably what you expect.
