Towards a science of archaeoecology
SA Crabtree, JA Dunne - Trends in Ecology & Evolution, 2022 - cell.com
We propose defining a field of research called 'archaeoecology'that examines the past~ 60
000 years of interactions between humans and ecosystems to better understand the human …

Scars on fossil leaves: An exploration of ecological patterns in plant–insect herbivore associations during the Age of Angiosperms
ED Currano, LE Azevedo-Schmidt… - Palaeogeography …, 2021 - Elsevier
Ancient plant–insect herbivore associations can be studied directly through observation of
feeding damage scars on well-preserved leaf adpression fossils. Early work on insect …

[HTML][HTML] The stability and collapse of marine ecosystems during the Permian-Triassic mass extinction
The history of Earth's biodiversity is punctuated episodically by mass extinctions. These are
characterized by major declines of taxon richness, but the accompanying ecological …
