New Fossil Lepidoptera (Insecta: Amphiesmenoptera) from the Middle Jurassic Jiulongshan Formation of Northeastern China
BACKGROUND The early history of the Lepidoptera is poorly known, a feature attributable to an inadequate preservational potential and an exceptionally low occurrence of moth fossils in relevant mid-Mesozoic deposits. In this study, we examine a particularly rich assemblage of morphologically basal moths that contribute significantly toward the understanding of early lepidopteran biodiversity. ...
متن کاملNew genera of Dicrepidiina from the Neotropical Region (Coleoptera, Elateridae, Elaterinae, Ampedini).
Two genera of Dicrepidiina, Paranoplischius gen. nov. and Paratractosomus gen. nov., and three species, Paranoplischius modestus sp. nov., P. nigellus sp. nov. and Paratractosomus sulciventris sp. nov., from South America, are described and illustrated. A provisional key to the genera of Dicrepidiina is also included.
متن کاملTriassic–Jurassic boundary events: Problems, progress, possibilities
As for most geological period boundaries, the Triassic–Jurassic (T–J) transition, ∼200 million years ago, was a critical juncture in Earth history during which profound biotic and environmental changes took place. Early comparisons with the end-Cretaceous extinction and the involvement of extraterrestrial impact have now largely, although not entirely, given way to more Earthbound explanations ...
متن کاملPhylogeny of Dictyoptera: Dating the Origin of Cockroaches, Praying Mantises and Termites with Molecular Data and Controlled Fossil Evidence
Understanding the origin and diversification of organisms requires a good phylogenetic estimate of their age and diversification rates. This estimate can be difficult to obtain when samples are limited and fossil records are disputed, as in Dictyoptera. To choose among competing hypotheses of origin for dictyopteran suborders, we root a phylogenetic analysis (~800 taxa, 10 kbp) within a large s...
متن کاملOrigin and diversification of the Milla Clade (Brodiaeoideae, Asparagaceae): a Neotropical group of six geophytic genera.
The Milla clade currently comprises six genera of geophytic plants distributed from Arizona to Guatemala. Three genera (Behria, Jaimehintonia and Petronymphe) are monotypic while the remaining genera (Bessera, Dandya and Milla) contain from two to ten (Milla) species. Parsimony, Maximum Likelihood and Bayesian Inference analyses were conducted with plastid and nuclear DNA sequences from a total...
