All species in one list (although that didn't last long ...) A comprehensive taxonomic checklist of bark and ambrosia beetle species (Curculionidae, Scolytinae) zookeys.pensoft.net/articles.php...

Waiting 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...

Scolytinae originated in Gondwana. Using revised time divergence for the subfamily, we here decipher their ancient biogeography and global diversification during the Cretaceous. onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1111/...

🚨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/...

Scolytinae might be older than expected! In this study we use three different dating methods, all suggesting that Scolytinae predate the Angiosperm Terrestrial Revolution. doi.org/10.1093/sysb...

#LabPaleoecology from the @ibb-botanic.bsky.social visited ALBA synchrotron for the first time to scan fossil insects embedded in amber. Results are very promising!

Presenting our research on the age of Scolytinae at the @eseb2025.bsky.social !
