General research
- A study on mine damage on gymnosperm specimens from the Middle Jurassic Jiulongshan Formation (China), probably produced by members of basal lineages of polyphagan beetles, monotrysian moths and tenthredinoid sawflies, is published by Xiao et al. (2024), who argue that the evolution of the mining associations of insects with gymnospermous plants during the Jurassic was likely caused by the appearance of new, more foliose plant lineages that provided more accessible food resources for mining insects.[9]
