Fossil insect-feeding traces indicate unrecognized evolutionary history and biodiversity on Australia's iconic Eucalyptus. [PDF]
Summary Fossilized plant–insect herbivore associations provide fundamental information about the assembly of terrestrial communities through geologic time. However, fossil evidence of associations originating in deep time and persisting to the modern day is scarce. We studied the insect herbivore damage found on 284 Eucalyptus frenguelliana leaves from
