contents Illustrated catalog of Phytoliths from the Galápagos Islands: Economic species of San Cristóbal Island Fernando J. Astudillo Multidisciplinaria (Ciencias Naturales y Exactas) Ecuador Microfossils Endemic Trees Comparative Collection Native, endemic, and introduced vascular plants from the Galápagos Islands were processed for phytolith extraction. Modern plant specimens of 43 species were collected in the field considering the possible uses of these plant species during the first years of colonization of San Cristóbal Island, Galápagos (1860s). This comparative illustrated catalog is limited to test the production of phytoliths in useful endemic, native, and introduced plant taxa. The results provided the main elements to discriminate morphotypes from native and introduced plants in San Cristóbal. This catalog will guide future paleoethnobotanical research in the Galápagos and other archipelagos of the far eastern Pacific islands. 2019 artículo científico 1390-5384 https://www.redalyc.org/articulo.oa?id=726180886003 en http://www.redalyc.org/revista.oa?id=7261 Avances en Ciencias e Ingenierías application/pdf Universidad San Francisco de Quito Avances en Ciencias e Ingenierías (Ecuador) Num.3 Vol.11
