Extroparvum occidentale gen. et sp. nov. and the Cretaceous diversification of Lauraceae

American Journal of Botany, Volume 113, Issue 7, July 2026.
Abstract Premise The fossil record of Lauraceae extends back to the Early Cretaceous and comprises numerous flowers. However, phylogenetic relationships of many of these fossil flowers remain unresolved. To better understand the early evolutionary history of Lauraceae, we conducted phylogenetic analyses of living and extinct members of the family and ...

Roadblocks, Relationality and Resilient Resistance in Post‐coup Myanmar

Development and Change, Volume 57, Issue 3, Page 624-646, May 2026.
ABSTRACT Following Myanmar's military coup in February 2021, the State Administrative Council (SAC) established checkpoints between towns under its control and rural areas increasingly governed by anti‐junta resistance forces. Here, military personnel command trade and extort from people, inflating the price of consumer goods and agricultural inputs ...

A deep dive into the fossil record of diving beetles (Coleoptera: Dytiscidae): Bayesian inferences elucidate their origin and pulsed diversification at the genus level

Palaeontology, Volume 69, Issue 3, 2026.
Abstract Predaceous diving beetles (Dytiscidae) are among the best‐known and most extensively studied beetle clades. Their fossil record, however, remains surprisingly sparse and uneven, failing to reflect their broad extant diversity. Consequently, the study of their evolutionary history, leveraging the fossil record, particularly their ...

Divergent defense strategies and niche partitioning in Cretaceous micro‐beetles

Journal of Systematics and Evolution, Volume 64, Issue 2, Page 354-362, March 2026.
We report a new clambid beetle from mid‐Cretaceous Kachin amber, Scutacalyptus kolibaci gen. et sp. nov., characterized by a flattened body and explanate margins. Alongside spiny and conglobating clambid forms, this diversity reflects niche partitioning and varied antipredator strategies in the Cretaceous forest floor.

Cretaceous lacewing larvae with binocular vision demonstrate the convergent evolution of sophisticated simple eyes

Insect Science, Volume 33, Issue 1, Page 441-452, February 2026.
We report three ca. 100 million‐year‐old lacewing larvae with extraordinarily large stemmata. One of them additionally has a very wide head, which represents a previously unknown morphology. The arrangement of the stemmata indicates stereoscopic vision in these predatory larvae.

From Rare to Common: The Live Streaming Industry of Jadeite Trade in Ruili in the China–Myanmar Borderlands

Economic Anthropology, Volume 13, Issue 1, January 2026.
ABSTRACT Since the early years of the 21st century, the city of Ruili has grown to be a major trade hub for Burmese jadeite on the China–Myanmar border. Starting from 2016 to 2017, Ruili's jadeite trade shifted heavily to online live streaming transactions through media platforms like Douyin, RedNote/Xiaohongshu, and Taobao/Tmall.
