Gondwanan Origin of Bark and Ambrosia Beetles and Their Rapid Worldwide Diversification During the Cretaceous Aim It is not trivial to estimate the relative contributions of dispersal, vicariance, and range contraction in explaining the present-day distribution of ancient clades. In this study, we aim to in...

🚨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.

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

🚨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.

Pequeña mosca de rayas amarillas y marrón oscuras sobre una florecita de color rosa

Minúscula hembra de Sphaerophoria scripta (~7 mm) comiendo granos de polen en una flor de Petrorhagia nanteuilii (Caryophyllaceae). En su vida anterior como larva se buscó la vida devorando pulgones entre las hierbas. Ahora en su vida adulta sigue ayudando a las plantas, pero ahora como polinizador

A new study shows how garden flowers keep city pollinators flying all year round When we think of cities, gardens might not be the first thing that comes to mind. But these green patches — whether in private yards, parks, or balconies — play a surprisingly important role in sup…

In a new study just published, I teamed up with some Brazilian colleagues to explore how the different features of garden flowers help sustain #pollinators throughout the year in a subtropical urban garden.
