🚨PAPER ALERT🚨 A new work led by @jules2701.bsky.social explains the evolutionary dispersion of bark beetles (Scolytinae) and the angiosperms to gymnosperm host shifts during the Cretaceous. @ibb-botanic.bsky.social #LabPaleoecology onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1111/...

Gondwanan Origin of Bark and Ambrosia Beetles and Their Rapid Worldwide Diversification During the CretaceousAim It is not trivial to estimate the relative contributions of dispersal, vicariance, and range contraction in explaining the present-day distribution of ancient clades. In this study, we aim to in...onlinelibrary.wiley.com
