La diversificación de las cícadas y la biodiversidad tropical
Collectanea Botanica, 2012 El reciente e inesperado descubrimiento de que las Cycadales actuales no son relictos Jurásico-Cretácicos (200-65 Mya), ya que todos sus géneros iniciaron su diversificación durante el Mioceno Tardío (12 Mya), ha puesto en entredicho un mito evolutivo ...

The first xiphydriid wood wasp in Cretaceous amber (Hymenoptera: Xiphydriidae) and a potential association with Cycadales [PDF]
Fossil Record, 2022 A new genus and species of fossil wood wasp is described and figured from mid-Cretaceous Kachin amber, representing the first occurrence of the family Xiphydriidae in the fossil record. Paraxiphydria resinata gen. et sp. nov. exhibits typical apomorphies
