© 2023 The Author Funding Information: The 3D Pollen Project has been funded by Mangorolla CIC through the ‘I'm A Scientist’ competition (Neptunium Zone, 2017), the University of Reading Teaching and Learning Development Fund ( TLDF_mini/2018/126 , A3591410 ), and the Natural Environment Research Council ( NE/X001660/1 ). Funding Information: Many people have helped and supported the 3D Pollen Project along its journey. The work described took place alongside my PhD at the University of Reading, which was supervised by Francis Mayle and funded by a University of Reading Graduate Teaching Assistant studentship , and when I was a visiting student at the University of Hull with M. Jane Bunting. I am grateful to Cordula Kemp and Ann Lowry at Hull for their assistance with the confocal microscopy. My thanks go to everyone who has provided support and encouragement at various stages of the project, particularly Katherine Holt, Hannah Worthen, Francis Mayle, M. Jane Bunting and Robert Marchant. M. Jane Bunting (HLU-CCC samples), Alastair Culham (RNG-P…), Francis Mayle (RNG-TPRG), Felipe Franco-Gaviria (EXR-EXPR), Benjamin Bell (MANCH-PolRefCol) and Stuart Wagenius, Gabriel Hutchinson and Michael LaScaleia (CHIC-EchProj) provided the samples incorporated in the project so far; thank you too to everyone who has sent specimens which have still to be included in the database. Work on the 3D Pollen Project continues under a postdoctoral Knowledge Exchange Fellowship at the University of York, funded by the UK's Natural Environment Research Council . I thank Robert Marchant and Francis Mayle for their helpful comments on an earlier draft of this manuscript, as well as two anonymous reviewers for their constructive feedback.
