Late Carboniferous paleoichnology reveals the oldest full-body impression of a flying insect.
Insects were the first animals to evolve powered flight and did so perhaps 90 million years before the first flight among vertebrates. However, the earliest fossil record of flying insect lineages (Pterygota) is poor, with scant indirect evidence from the Devonian and a nearly complete dearth of material from the Early Carboniferous. By the Late Carboniferous a diversity of flying lineages is k...
متن کاملMechanisms of plant–insect interaction
The study of plant–insect interactions continues to be an exciting and fast-moving field that builds upon the more extensive literature available in plant–microbe interactions and offers new and significant insights into both the unique molecular determinants of plant–insect interactions and the wider ecological context. This special issue of the Journal of Experimental Botany brings together a...
متن کاملTomographic Reconstruction of Neopterous Carboniferous Insect Nymphs
Two new polyneopteran insect nymphs from the Montceau-les-Mines Lagerstätte of France are presented. Both are preserved in three dimensions, and are imaged with the aid of X-ray micro-tomography, allowing their morphology to be recovered in unprecedented detail. One-Anebos phrixos gen. et sp. nov.-is of uncertain affinities, and preserves portions of the antennae and eyes, coupled with a heavil...
متن کاملA Carboniferous Mite on an Insect Reveals the Antiquity of an Inconspicuous Interaction
Symbiosis [1], understood as prolonged interspecific association, is as ancient as the eukaryotic cell [2, 3]. A variety of such associations have been reported in the continental fossil record, albeit sporadically. As for mites, which as a group have been present since the Devonian (ca. 390 mya) [4, 5] and are involved in a tremendous variety of modern-day symbioses, reported associations are ...
متن کاملPlant uses in Croatia
Despite the long history of plant usage, the economic values of the highly diverse Croatian vascular flora (5516 taxa) were never investigated. For the purpose of a survey of the useful and harmful species, the available information was accumulated in the Flora Croatica Database (FCD) and a new database module for economic botany has been developed. An Economic Botany Standard was adopted on th...
