“…We used Köppen profiles (e.g., [193][194][195][196][197]) to summarize the climatic niches occupied by extant Hydrocharitaceae species/genera and to hypothesize about their climatic niche evolution (Supplementary Material S2). A Köppen profile reflects the proportional Köppen-Geiger climate (cf.…”

The combined morphological features of Stratiotes (Hydrocharitaceae) pollen, observed with light and electron microscopy, make it unique among all angiosperm pollen types and easy to identify. Unfortunately, the plant is (and most likely was) insect-pollinated and produces relatively few pollen grains per flower, contributing to its apparent absence in the paleopalynological record. Here, we present fossil Stratiotes pollen from the Eocene of Germany (Europe) and Kenya (Africa), representing the first reliable pre-Pleistocene pollen records of this genus worldwide and the only fossils of this family discovered so far in Africa. The fossil Stratiotes pollen grains are described and compared to pollen from a single modern species, Stratiotes aloides L. The paleophytogeographic significance and paleoecological aspects of these findings are discussed in relation to the Hydrocharitaceae fossil records and molecular phylogeny, as well as the present-day distribution patterns of its modern genera.

We present a revision of geological and paleontological data of the Vienna Basin (VB). The deposits comprise Miocene terrestrial, lacustrine and marine sediments, corresponding the Ottnangian, Karpatian, Badenian, Sarmatian and Pannonian regional stages (= Burdigalian to Tortonian). New 3D seismics and the analyses of hundreds of core samples resulted in a wealth of information. Absolute ages were published for two tuffs and the lithostratigraphy was largely formalized. The evolution of the paleoenvironments in the VB strongly reflects the impact by global climatic events such as the Miocene Climatic Optimum, the Middle Miocene Climate Transition and the Tortonian Thermal Maximum. Global 3 rd order sea level cycles are reflected in the successions of marine depositional environments. Major drops of the relative sea level caused strong erosion along the basin margins, with up to 300 m paleorelief. The strongest phase of erosion was linked to tectonics. Around the Early/Middle Miocene boundary, Lower Miocene strata became tilted during the Styrian Tectonic Phase. Up to 600-m-deep subaerial canyons incised the VB at that time. A second phase of basin-wide erosion occurred during the Late Miocene when more than 200 m of upper Pannonian strata became removed from large parts of the VB after 9 Ma.
