🐝🌿 New in Cladistics: we describe †Eotenthredinidae fam. nov. — the oldest known crown-group true sawflies (Tenthredinoidea), from the ~125-Ma Yixian Fm (Jehol Biota). A transitional fossil bridging stem & crown sawflies, with clues to their coevolution with angiosperms. 🦴🌸 doi.org/10.1111/cla....
A new genus and species of Trechinae discovered from the ~100 Ma French Charentese amber! Dedicated to the famous English rock band MUSE, Cydonius musei helps refining the age of the subfamily in a TED framework. doi.org/10.1093/isd/... @ibb-botanic.bsky.social @davidperis.bsky.social

A la une de @france24.com Interview de Julie Campana @isyeb.mnhn.fr suite à la parution dans @royalsociety.org OpenScience d'1 étude qui met en évidence le rôle déterminant des changements environnementaux passés,et celui longtemps sous-estimé des variations climatiques sur les fourmis f24.my/BylG
La fourmi, pur produit des changements environnementaux passés
Elles sont 20 millions de milliards, réparties en 15.000 espèces, et pèsent ensemble plus que tous les oiseaux et les mammifères sauvages: les fourmis sont nos amies et doivent leur évolution, bien pl...

it's open source and available here doi.org/10.21425/fob... The PDF had much better figures BTW
Climatic swings triggered incipient postglacial speciation of flightless Calosoma beetles in Western Balkan sky islands
Climatic change drastically shapes the ecology and evolution of lineages across landscapes. In mountainous regions, climatic oscillations drive fine-scale biome shifts and modulate habitat availabilit...

Waiting for broader weevil analyses using TED, this paper strongly suggests that bark beetle age must be pushed back in time: Multiple Dating Methods and Insights from the Fossil Record Reveal that Bark Beetles Predate the Angiosperm Terrestrial Revolution url: academic.oup.com/sysbio/artic...
Multiple Dating Methods and Insights from the Fossil Record Reveal that Bark Beetles Predate the Angiosperm Terrestrial Revolution
Abstract. Estimating the age of a given clade is not trivial. Most dating studies rely on a node dating approach, which is highly sensitive to fossil place

Scolytinae originated in Gondwana. Using revised time divergence for the subfamily, we here decipher their ancient biogeography and global diversification during the Cretaceous. onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1111/...
