准确和一致地识别化石花粉对于能够对过去的气候和植被变化做出强有力的推断至关重要。最好的鉴定方法是直接检查标准物质。大多数重要的参考文献收藏都是在欧洲或美国的著名大学举行的，这可能会限制试图在欠发达国家推动孢粉学研究的研究人员的使用。数字成像和快速传播互联网的接入意味着现在可以从花粉参考资料中制作和传播高质量的图像。在这篇论文中，我们通过提供来自西非热带非洲的364个花粉分类群的图像来为这一不断增长的工作做出贡献，这些图像既是带有检索表的印刷图版，也是相关的在线可搜索数据库中的图像。(C)2013爱思唯尔B.V.保留所有权利。
The accurate and consistent identification of fossil pollen is essential to allow robust inferences to be drawn with regard to past climate and vegetation change. Identifications are best achieved through the direct inspection of reference material. Most substantial reference collections are held at prestigious universities in Europe or the United States of America which can restrict access for researchers trying to advance palynology in less developed countries. Digital imaging and fast spreading access to the internet means that it is now possible to produce and disseminate high quality images from pollen reference collections. In this paper we contribute to this growing body of work by presenting images of 364 pollen taxa from West Tropical Africa both as printed plates with a key, and within an associated online searchable database.
