Abstract
La palinología es una ciencia que conforma en sí misma una herramienta que puede ser utilizada para investigaciones en diferentes campos. Sin embargo, su aplicación suele ser compleja para quienes no han tenido anteriormente un acercamiento a sus técnicas, principios y nomenclaturas. Para responder a esta necesidad, se desarrolló una investigación, mediante una pasantía académica, en el Instituto Smithsonian de Investigaciones Tropicales (STRI, por sus siglas en inglés), durante tres meses, con el objetivo de recopilar y aprender las técnicas de campo y laboratorio que puedan ser utilizadas para proyectos de investigación en el campo de manejo de recursos naturales.
En este trabajo se describieron, aplicaron y describieron las técnicas clásicas de limpieza y montaje de láminas fijas para polen fresco y fósil, procedimientos de campo para muestreo de polen fresco de Apis mellifera, así como también para la obtención de polen de sedimentos. Finalmente se diseñó un manual para describir paso a paso los ganos de polen, el cual consiste en una modificación al glosario de teminología de polen y esporas (Punt et al. 2007), utilizado en el STRI, y por otros investigadores, como nomenclatura estándar. La palinología como tal es una herramienta muy útil, y con un alto potencial para varias disciplinas que involucran el manejo de recursos naturales.

In this work, the classic techniques for cleaning and mounting fixed sheets for fresh and fossil pollen, field procedures for sampling fresh pollen from Apis mellifera, as well as for obtaining pollen from sediments, were described, applied and described. Finally, a manual was designed to describe the pollen gains step by step, which consists of a modification to the glossary of pollen and spores terminology (Punt et al. 2007), used in the STRI, and by other researchers, as standard nomenclature. . Palynology as such is a very useful tool, and with high potential for various disciplines that involve the management of natural resources.
