🚨PAPER ALERT🚨 A new work led by @jules2701.bsky.social explains the evolutionary dispersion of bark beetles (Scolytinae) and the angiosperms to gymnosperm host shifts during the Cretaceous. @ibb-botanic.bsky.social #LabPaleoecology onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1111/...

🚨PAPER ALERT🚨 This is the (great!) first paper from @jules2701.bsky.social PhD project. Three different dating methods using fossil record point to the same results: Scolytinae predated the Angiosperm Terrestrial Revolution. @ibb-botanic.bsky.social #LabPaleoecology academic.oup.com/sysbio/artic...

Excited to see this out!! In this thought-provoking review led by @davidperis.bsky.social and Ricardo Pérez-de la Fuente we further demonstrate that insect #pollination was once widespread among #gymnosperms and existed long before the origin of #angiosperms onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/full/10....

In a review led by Spanish researchers David Peris and Ricardo Pérez-de la Fuente, we explored why a deep time perspective on insect pollination is relevant to our current understanding of plant-pollinator relationships. Read more here: jeffollerton.co.uk/2025/03/12/e... #pollinators #biodiversity

One perk of being curator of a natural history collection is that our volunteers and staff bring me little treasures. Here's an Oiceoptoma carrion beetle that John Carroll found on a deer carcass in south Austin. Life- and death- goes on. #insects
