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 …

Time and again, over hundreds of millions of years, environmental disturbances have
caused mass extinctions of animals ranging from reptiles to corals. The anthropogenic loss …

The Triassic represented an important period that witnessed the diversification of marine
and terrestrial ecosystems. The radiations of terrestrial plants and vertebrates during this …

Horseshoe crabs are an iconic group of extant chelicerates, with a stunning fossil record that
extends to at least the Lower Ordovician (~ 480 million years ago). As such, the group has …

To discern the effect of the end-Permian (P-Tr) ecological crisis on land, interactions
between plants and their insect herbivores were examined for four time intervals containing …

We describe aggregative microconchid (Lophophorata) tubes from the uppermost Permian
(upper Changhsingian) and Lower Triassic (Olenekian) lacustrine and fluvial strata of the …

Abstract The Carnian Aasvoëlberg 411 (Aas411) site of the Molteno Formation in South
Africa provides exceptional data for understanding how plants, their arthropod herbivores …

Premise of research. Sphenophytes are a modestly diverse lineage of vascular plants with a
persistent record extending from the late Paleozoic to the present. However, patterns of …

Plants and insects are two of the more diverse and abundant organisms in terrestrial
ecosystems. The fossil record of plant-insect interactions offers crucial insights into the …

Abstract During the Early–Middle Triassic, the biosphere was recovering from the most
severe mass extinction event of multicellular life, in the Permian–Triassic transition …
