The absence of A. vesiculosa seeds in European Holocene deposits is probably due to unfavorable climatic conditions, i.e. lower temperature, during this period: in temperate zones, A. vesiculosa reproduces mainly in a vegetative way; it rarely blooms and only occasionally produces seeds. In this paper, subfossil seeds of A. vesiculosa were identified in two peat bogs: one (Sucha Kobyla) in SE Poland and another one (Kyambangunguru) in SW Tanzania. Single seeds of this plant were found in a peat layer from the Polish site formed after 1600 AD as well as in sediments accumulated around 440 AD in the Tanzanian one. To our knowledge, this is the first time that seeds of A. vesiculosa are found in Holocene deposits in the world. Our findings provide new data on the distribution of A. vesiculosa over the Late Holocene. specialized Holocene Plant macrofossil Carnivorous plant Waterwheel plant Peat POLOGNE TANZANIE 064 386 186-190 2015 1040-6182 https://www.documentation.ird.fr/hor/fdi:010065470 10.1016/j.quaint.2015.05.058 1040-6182 [F B010065470] https://www.documentation.ird.fr/hor/fdi:010065470 https://www.documentation.ird.fr/intranet/publi/2015/12/010065470.pdf Accès réservé (Intranet de l'IRD) IRD - Base Horizon / Pleins textes 2016-01-14 2017-08-23 fdi:010065470 fre
