About the Author :
Paul Colinvaux is the author of three ecology texts, the latest being Ecology 2 (Wiley, 1993); a book of essays, Why Big Fierce Animals Are Rare (Princeton University Press, 1978); and The Fates of Nations: A Biological Theory of History (Simon & Schuster, 1980). These books have been translated into several languages. Colinvaux’s research, in arctic regions as well as the tropics, has been to discover how the climate of Ice Ages controlled the distribution and abundance of life of the contemporary Earth. He has led numerous field parties to core lakes for environmental histories in an equatorial “slice” of the New World tropics, from the Galapagos Islands eastward to mainland Ecuador, across the high Andes to Oriente Province, and thence across Amazonian Brazil. Colinvaux’s equatorial research was begun when he was a professor at Ohio State University, but was transferred in 1991 to the Smithsonian Tropical Research Institute in the Republic of Panama, where this pollen manual was written. In 1998 the research base was transferred to the Marine Biological Laboratory in Woods Hole, Massachusetts. Paulo Eduardo De Oliveira is a research associate at the Field Museum of Natural History in Chicago and a visiting professor at the University of São Paulo. As a paleoecologist, he uses both diatoms and pollen from lake sediments in his reconstruction of the Ice-Age climates and vegetation of Brazil. He and Colinvaux have worked together since the late 1980s, first in Ecuador, then in Brazil. De Oliveira earned a doctorate from Ohio State University in 1992 for a pioneering thesis on the climatic history of southeastern Brazil. Jorge Enrique Moreno Patiño is a palynologist at the Smithsonian Tropical Research Institute in Panama. He is co-author (with D.Roubick) of a pollen atlas for Barro Colorado Island, the Panamanian reserve for research in tropical forests.
