I - Ocorrência das domácias nas angiospermas

Do estudo pormenorizado que fizemos em tão copioso material, assinalamos a presença de domácias em 42 espécies distintas, distribuidas entre 28 famílias pertencentes às Angiospermas. Cumpre salientar que registramos a ocorrência desses pequeninos órgãos nas fôlhas, tanto de árvores e arbustos, como de trepadeiras e plantas de pequeno porte. As domácias foram assinaladas não só na inserção das nervuras de 1.ª e 2.ª ordem, que é o caso mais comum, como também sôbre a nervura principal e na superfície do limbo, bem próximo aos bordos da fôlha, constituindo nesse último caso, novos tipos por nós discutidos em trabalho à parte. Registramos, pela primeira vêz, mais 17 famílias novas entre as plantas acarófilas. Relacionamos por ordem alfabética as famílias cujas espécies apresentavam domácias, assim como os nomes das plantas, o tipo e localização das domácias, etc., empregando a Classificação de CHEVALIER E CHESNAIS (1941). Os tipos de domácias catalogados distribuim-se entre as famílias da seguinte maneira: a) Domácias em "tufo de pêlos" - encontradas em plantas das seguintes famílias: Anacardiaceae, Apocynaceae, Bignoniaceae, Caricaceae, Caryocaraceae, Dilleniaceae, Euphorbiaceae, Juglandaceae, Leguminosae, Meliaceae, Nyctaginaceae, Onagraceae, Oxalidaceae, Phytolacaceae, Rhamnaceae, Sapindaceae, Saxifragaceae e Verbenaceae. b) Domácias "em fenda" - encontradas nas famílias: Lauraceae, Marcgraviaceae e Meliaceae. c) Domácias "em bolsa" - registradas nas seguintes famílias: Amaranthaceae, Anonaceae, Bignoniaceae, Labiatae, Lauraceae, Leguminosae, Lythraceae, Moraceae, Nyctaginaceae e Vitaceae. d) Alguns tipos de domácias - encontrados nas famílias: Anacardiaceae, Onagraceae, Oxalidaceae, Apocynaceae, Caricaceae, Euphorbiaceae, Marcgraviaceae, Meliaceae e Leguminosae.

Zur systematischen Relevanz von Juglandaceen-Blättern unter besonderer Berücksichtigung fossiler Funde aus der Grube Messel und dem Eckfelder Maar

In der vorliegenden Arbeit wurden die Blattmerkmale der Juglandaceen auf ihre systematische Verwertbarkeit hin untersucht. Ein Datensatz mit 62 Blattmerkmalen von 48 rezenten Juglandaceen-Arten wurde zusammengetragen. Zusätzlich wurden vier fossile Blattformen erfasst. Die fossilen Blätter stammen aus zwei Fundstätten des deutschen Eozäns. Der Datensatz wurde mit dem Computerprogramm MacClade® auf ein Phylogramm aus Manos und Stone (2001) übertragen (‚character mapping’). Zusätzlich wurde eine Hauptkomponentenanalyse mit dem Computerprogramm PAST® durchgeführt. Die meisten taxonomischen Einheiten der Juglandaceen konnten mithilfe des ‚character mapping’ wiedererkannt werden, die dafür verantwortlichen Blattmerkmale haben somit ihre systematische Signifikanz unter Beweis gestellt. Weiterhin konnte eine Evolutionstendenz des Induments belegt werden. Zwischen den ursprünglichen und den abgeleiteten Juglandaceen-Taxa ist eine zunehmende Differenzierung des Induments zu beobachten. Die fossilen Blattformen bildeten in der Hauptkomponentenanalyse eine eindeutig erkennbare Gruppierung, die von allen rezenten Taxa der Analyse separiert ist. Demnach lassen sie sich nicht durch einen Vergleich mit rezenten Blättern systematisch zuordnen. Die fossilen Blattformen der Juglandaceen bestätigen die hier belegte Evolutions-tendenz des Induments. Sie stehen mit ihren ursprünglichen Indumentstrukturen am Ausgangspunkt der Indumentevolution.

Early - Late Miocene palaeoclimate data and palaefloras of 48 samples from Southern China

Southern China, especially Yunnan, has undergone high tectonic activity caused by the uplift of Himalayan Mountains during the Neogene, which led to a fast changing palaeogeography. Previous study shows that Southern China has been influenced by the Asian Monsoon since at least the Early Miocene. However, it is yet not well understood how intense the Miocene monsoon system was. In the present study, 63 fossil floras of 16 localities from Southern China are compiled and evaluated for obtaining available information concerning floristic composition, stratigraphic age, sedimentology, etc. Based on such reliable information, selected mega- and micro-floras have been analysed with the coexistence approach to obtain quantitative palaeoclimate data. Visualization of climate results in maps shows a distinct spatial differentiation in Southern China during the Miocene. Higher seasonalities of temperature and precipitation occur in the north and south parts of Southern China, respectively. During the Miocene, most regions of Southern China and Europe were both warm and humid. Central Eurasia was likely to be an arid center, which gradually spread westward and eastward. Our data provide information about Miocene climate patterns in Southern China and about the evolution of these patterns throughout the Miocene, and is also crucial to unravel and understand the climatic signals of global cooling and tectonic uplift.

Pollen and macroremains from profiles from site Osterholz and Elm

The biostratigraphic classification of the Pleistocene in north-western and central Europe is still insufficiently known, in spite of numerous geological and vegetation-history investigations. The question is not even clear, for example, how often a warm-period vegetation with thermophilous trees such as Quercus, Ulmus, Tilia, Carpinus etc could develop here. In past years, on the basis of several geological and vegetation-history findings, suspicion has often been expressed that some of the classical stages of the Pleistocene could include more warm periods than heretofore assumed, and as a result of recent investigations the period between the Waal and Holstein interglacials seems to include at least two warm periods, of which the Cromer is one. This paper contributes to this problem. The interglacial sediments coming from the Elm-Mountains near Brunswick and from the Osterholz near Elze - both within the limits of the German Mittelgebirge - were investigated by pollen analysis. In both cases a Pinus-Betula zone and a QM zone were found. The vegetation development of the Pinus-Betula zone is characterized in both sequences by the early appearance of Picea. Because of strong local influence at the Osterholz a detailed correlation is difficult. However, vegetation development at the time of the QM zone at both sites was similar; it is especially characterized by the facts that Ulmus clearly migrated to the site earlier than Quercus and was very abundant throughout this time. Furthermore, both diagrams show very low amounts of Corylus. The interglacial of the Osterholz shows in addition to the above; a Carpinus-QM-Picea-zone in which Eucommia reaches a relative high value and in the upper of which Azolla filiculoides was also found. The similarity of vegetation development justifies acceptance of the same age for the occurrences. A comparison of the vegetation development at the Elm and the Osterholz with those of the Eem, Holstein, Waal, and Tegelen warm periods as well as with all the Cromer sites so far investigated shows that only a correlation with the Cromer Complex is possible. This correlation is supported by the geologic relations in the Osterholz (the deposit is overlain by Elster till). Therefore the till-like material with Scandinavian rock fragments underlying the deposit at Elm is of particular interest. The 'Rhume' interglacial beds at Bilshausen, only 60 km south of Osterholz, is also assigned to the Cromer complex, but the two deposits cannot be of the same age because the vegetation development differs. Therefore the Cromer complex must include at least two warm periods. Further conclusions about the relative stratigraphic position of these two occurrences and correlations of other Cromer sites are at this time not possible, however.
