CUPOD – Cambridge University Palynological Online Database
QPG PD is an electronic resource designed to aide students of palynology (the study of pollen and spores) at both undergraduate and graduate level. This resource is focused primarily on the study of fossil pollen and spores as a means of reconstructing past environments.
PalDat is the world’s largest database for PalynologicalData.PalDat provides a large amount of data from a variety of plant families. Each data entry ideally includes a detailed description of the pollen grain, images of each pollen grain (LM, SEM and TEM), images of the plant/inflorescence/flower and relevant literature.
Online access to the database is free of charge (www.paldat.org).
To publish palynological data in PalDat a free registration is required. PalDat is operated by members of the Division of Structural and Functional Botany (SFB) at the University of Vienna (www.botanik.univie.ac.at/sfb) and supervised by AutPal, the “Society for the Promotion of Palynological Research in Austria” (www.autpal.at).
