Revised phylogenomic analysis and Cretaceous fossil evidence reveal new insights into evolution of Scirtinae (Coleoptera: Scirtidae)

open access: yesJournal of Systematics and Evolution, EarlyView.
The molecular phylogeny of Scirtinae based on ultraconserved elements is reanalyzed using the site‐heterogeneous model CAT‐GTR+G4. A new scirtine fossil, Serracyphon philipsi gen. et sp. nov., is reported from mid‐Cretaceous Kachin amber, and its placement is evaluated in light of the updated phylogenomic framework of Scirtinae.

The Effect of Swiss Free Trade Agreements on Agricultural Trade

open access: yesKyklos, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT As a country highly dependent on imports, Switzerland has many free trade agreements (FTAs) that liberalise trade barriers. We assess how these agreements affect Swiss agricultural imports at different margins of trade adjustment. We estimate reduced‐form gravity models using agricultural trade data for 202 partner countries from 2004 to 2022.
