Frans Vera’s recent hypothesis that large mammals created mosaics of ... -
Pollen Morphology and Its Relationship to the Taxonomy of the Genus Sarracenia (Sarraceniaceae)
Ellison, Aaron M.; Oswald, W. Wyatt; Doughty, Elaine D.; Ne'eman, Gidi; Ne'eman, Rida (New England Botanical Club, 2011)Despite nearly a century of research, the systematic relationships among North American pitcher plants in the genus Sarracenia (Sarraceniaceae) remain unresolved. In this study we analyzed pollen morphology of the 11 ... -
A record of Holocene environmental and ecological changes from Wildwood Lake, Long Island, New York
Oswald, W. Wyatt; Foster, David Russell; Doughty, Elaine D.; MacDonald, Dana (Wiley-Blackwell, 2010)Analyses of pollen, charcoal, and organic content in a lake-sediment core from Wildwood Lake, Long Island, New York, provide insights into the ecological and environmental history of this region. The early-Holocene interval ... -
A Record of Lateglacial and Early Holocene Environmental and Ecological Change from Southwestern Connecticut, USA
Oswald, W. Wyatt; Foster, David Russell; Doughty, Elaine D.; Faison, Edward Kerr (John Wiley & Sons, 2009)Analyses of a sediment core from Highstead Swamp in southwestern Connecticut, USA, reveal Lateglacial and early Holocene ecological and hydrological changes. Lateglacial pollen assemblages are dominated by Picea and Pinus ...
