Progress toward understanding the dynamics of ancient plant-insect associations has
addressed major patterns in the ecology and evolution of herbivory and pollination. This …

Plants and their associated insect herbivores, represent more than 50% of all known species
on earth. The first step in understanding the mechanisms generating and maintaining this …

In this complete and thorough update of Arthur Boucot's seminal work, Evolutionary
Paleobiology of Behavior and Coevolution, Boucot is joined by George Poinar, who …

Specialization of insect herbivores to one or a few host plants stimulated the development of
two hypotheses on how natural selection should shape oviposition preferences: The “mother …

Evidence of insect-fern interactions are described for the fi rst time from late Miocene strata
of Salta Province, Argentina. Two ichnospecies are defi ned to include fossil traces of …

Mesozoic fossils of longhorn beetles, leaf beetles and other Chrysomeloidea are extremely
rare, and little is known about the early evolutionary history of this extraordinarily diverse …

Tropical ectotherms are particularly vulnerable to global warming because their
physiologies are assumed to be adapted to narrow temperature ranges. This study explores …

A new fossil leaf mine ichnogenus and species, Leucopteropsa spiralae gen. et sp.
nov.(Lepidoptera: Lyonetiidae), from the Upper Cretaceous Kaiparowits Formation …

The beetle genus Cephaloleia has evolved in association with tropical ginger plants and for
many species their specific host plant associations are known. Here we show that the core …

One of the best‐known biogeographic rules for ectotherms is the temperature‐size rule,
which asserts that ectotherms produce smaller adults at warmer temperatures. Although this …
