A new glimpse on trophic interactions of 100-million-year old lacewing larvae [PDF]
Acta Palaeontologica Polonica, 2020 Larvae of lacewings (Neuroptera) are known to be fierce predators. According to the morphology of fossil forms thisseems to have been the case already in the Early Cretaceous. While being predators, lacewing larvae are also food itemsfor other organisms.

Non-destructive analysis of pathological belemnite rostra by micro-CT techniques [PDF]
Acta Palaeontologica Polonica, 2020 Previously, palaeopathological features of fossil hardparts were often difficult to interpret because it was impossible to decipher their internal structure without destroying the specimens. We applied high-resolution computedtomo graphy (CT) to document

Mimicry in Cretaceous Bugs [PDF]
iScience, 2020 Mimicry is ubiquitous in nature, yet understanding its origin and evolution is complicated by the scarcity of exceptional fossils that enable behavioral inferences about extinct animals. Here we report bizarre true bugs (Hemiptera) that closely resemble beetles (Coleoptera) from mid-Cretaceous amber.

A reassessment of Kelmayisaurus petrolicus, a large theropod dinosaur from the Early Cretaceous of China [PDF]
, 2012 The Early Cretaceous fossil record of large-bodied theropods from Asia is poor, hindering comparison of Asian predatory dinosaur faunas with those from other continents. One of the few large Asian theropod specimens from this interval is a partial skull (
