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.
