A la une de @france24.com Interview de Julie Campana @isyeb.mnhn.fr suite à la parution dans @royalsociety.org OpenScience d'1 étude qui met en évidence le rôle déterminant des changements environnementaux passés,et celui longtemps sous-estimé des variations climatiques sur les fourmis f24.my/BylG
La fourmi, pur produit des changements environnementaux passésElles sont 20 millions de milliards, réparties en 15.000 espèces, et pèsent ensemble plus que tous les oiseaux et les mammifères sauvages: les fourmis sont nos amies et doivent leur évolution, bien pl...f24.my

A comprehensive taxonomic checklist of bark and ambrosia beetle species (Curculionidae, Scolytinae)A comprehensive list of the currently (as of 17 November 2025) valid taxa of bark and ambrosia beetles of the world (Curculionidae: Scolytinae) is presented, including all tribes, genera, species (651...zookeys.pensoft.netWaiting for broader weevil analyses using TED, this paper strongly suggests that bark beetle age must be pushed back in time: Multiple Dating Methods and Insights from the Fossil Record Reveal that Bark Beetles Predate the Angiosperm Terrestrial Revolution url: academic.oup.com/sysbio/artic...
Multiple Dating Methods and Insights from the Fossil Record Reveal that Bark Beetles Predate the Angiosperm Terrestrial RevolutionAbstract. Estimating the age of a given clade is not trivial.
