Diversity of Holocene life forms in fossil glacier ice.

Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences of the United States of America - 6 Jul 1999

Willerslev E, Hansen A J, Christensen B, Steffensen J P, Arctander P

Abstract excerpt

Studies of biotic remains of polar ice caps have been limited to morphological identification of plant pollen and spores. By using sensitive molecular techniques, we now demonstrate a much greater range of detectable organisms; from 2000- and 4000-year-old ice-core samples, we obtained and characterized 120 clones that represent at least 57 distinct taxa and reveal a diversity of fungi, plants, algae, and...
