Fossils in Myanmar amber demonstrate the diversity of anti-predator strategies of Cretaceous holometabolan insect larvae

iScience
Summary: Holometabolan larvae are a major part of the animal biomass and an important food source for many animals. Many larvae evolved anti-predator strategies and some of these can even be recognized in fossils.

Revised phylogenomic analysis and Cretaceous fossil evidence reveal new insights into evolution of Scirtinae (Coleoptera: Scirtidae)

Journal of Systematics and Evolution, Volume 63, Issue 5, Page 1166-1178, September 2025.
The molecular phylogeny of Scirtinae based on ultraconserved elements is reanalyzed using the site‐heterogeneous model CAT‐GTR+G4. A new scirtine fossil, Serracyphon philipsi gen. et sp. nov., is reported from mid‐Cretaceous Kachin amber, and its placement is evaluated in light of the updated phylogenomic framework of Scirtinae.

Placing Nothophylica piloburmensis from Cretaceous amber into the angiosperm phylogeny

TAXON, Volume 74, Issue 4, Page 933-937, August 2025.
Abstract Recently, we redescribed an amber inclusion from mid‐Cretaceous Kachin amber of Myanmar, previously assigned to the extant genus Phylica in Rhamnaceae (core eudicots), and placed it in a new fossil‐genus, Nothophylica. Based on our reconstructions, we identified new floral features and instead suggested affinities within magnoliids, especially

Evolutionary implications of a deep‐time perspective on insect pollination

Biological Reviews, Volume 100, Issue 4, Page 1452-1466, August 2025.
ABSTRACT Plant pollination by insects represents one of the most transformative and iconic ecological relationships in the natural world. Despite tens of thousands of papers, as well as numerous books, on pollination biology published over the past 200 years, most studies focused on the fossil record of pollinating insects have only been published in ...
