The use of the functional feeding group–damage type system for analyzing arthropod and
pathogen interactions with plants has transformed our understanding of herbivory in fossil …

Ancient plant–insect herbivore associations can be studied directly through observation of
feeding damage scars on well-preserved leaf adpression fossils. Early work on insect …

Plant–insect associations have been a significant component of terrestrial ecology for more
than 400 Myr. Exploring these interactions in the fossil record through novel perspectives …

A new fossil leaf mine ichnogenus and species, Leucopteropsa spiralae gen. et sp.
nov.(Lepidoptera: Lyonetiidae), from the Upper Cretaceous Kaiparowits Formation …

A typical fossil flora examined for insect herbivory contains a few hundred leaves and a
dozen or two insect damage types. Paleontologists employ a wide variety of metrics to …

Several fossil beetles from the Late Pliocene (Piacenzian) of Willershausen (Lower Saxony,
Germany) previously identified as Tenebrionidae and Staphylinidae are reviewed. One …

Interactions between plants and insects evolved during millions of years of coevolution and
maintain the trophic balance of terrestrial ecosystems. Documenting insect damage types …

Ferns are a model plant group for comparing insect herbivory between modern and deep
time assemblages. We assessed fern–arthropod interactions in a modern marsh to reveal …

The affiliation of fossil pollen grains of Hamamelidaceae with extant genera is still a
challenge for palynologists, probably due to the scarcity of pollen morphological …

Ecosystems are defined by the community of living organisms and how they interact together
and with their environment. Insects and plants are key taxa in terrestrial ecosystems and …
