Ecology and Evolution, Volume 14, Issue 7, July 2024.Our study compiled and analysed spatio‐temporal species' extirpation on a broad taxonomic coverage at the city scale. We revealed high number of extirpations, which are in the twenty‐firstcentury already comparable with previous centuries, and showed that cities might be suitable systems for studying species' extirpation processes due to their small ...

The evolutionary history of Coleoptera (Insecta) in the late Palaeozoic and the Mesozoic
Systematic Entomology, Volume 49, Issue 3, Page 355-388, July 2024.Structural transformations of the elytra and abdomen played a major role in the early beetle evolution in the Permian. Polyphaga appear late in the fossil record, with only a few fossils of Elateriformia in the Late Triassic. Several factors were involved in the enormous diversification of beetles in the Cretaceous but evolutionary interactions with ...

Soldier Beetle Larvae Are Much More Common in the Fossil Record than Previously Anticipated
InsectsSoldier beetle larvae are characterised by numerous very small setae on their body surface, giving them a velvety appearance and hydrophobic properties, and paired gland openings on the segments of the thorax and abdomen for defensive purposes.
