From Asia to Africa via Madagascar – a biogeographic and taxonomic review of Afrotropical Eidophelus beetles with discovery of a related new genus in Ernoporini (Curculionidae, Scolytinae)
The Afrotropical species of Ernoporini are revised based on morphological and molecular data. Three genera are present: Ernoporus Thompson, 1859, Eidophelus Eichhoff, 1875, and Proternoporus Jordal, g...

🚨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 Cretaceous
Aim 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...

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...

Multiple Dating Methods and Insights from the Fossil Record Reveal that Bark Beetles Predate the Angiosperm Terrestrial Revolution
Abstract. Estimating the age of a given clade is not trivial. Most dating studies rely on a node dating approach, which is highly sensitive to fossil place

The sister group of the pantropical sibmaters in Hypothenemus is as endemic as it can, and silently radiated on Madagascar: Afrocosmoderes bark beetles (Curculionidae, Scolytinae): an ancient, but overlooked, species radiation of pygmy borers in Madagascar url: academic.oup.com/isd/article/...

Scolytids are also a master of this strategy
