Marchantia polymorpha Defense Against Snail Herbivory
Ancestral liverwort species were already equipped with the jasmonate pathway to fend off herbivores. However, insect appearance on earth does not fit with the estimated age of bryophytes, as they probably evolved million years later. We found that the snail Helix aspersa readily feeds on Marchantia polymorpha and that a Mpcoi1 mutant, where the ...

Eocene and modern entomofauna differ—a Cretaceous‐like larva in Rovno amber
We report a 35 million‐year‐old lacewing larva from Ukrainian amber. This insect larva has a morphology up to now only known from 100 million‐year‐old amber. Therefore, this morphology survived more than 60 million years longer than previously assumed. Our find contradicts the common notion that the fauna 35 million years ago was already very modern.
