Evidence for the evolution of eusociality in stem ants and a systematic revision of † Gerontoformica (Hymenoptera: Formicidae)

TL;DR: The syninclusion of a pupa and adult of a stem ant species from Mid-Cretaceous amber substantiates the hypothesis that wingless females were cooperators, thus these were true ‘workers’ and renders fossils relevant to the discussion of eusocial evolution in a way that has heretofore been intractable.
Journal ArticleDOI
Burmapseudomorphus planus gen. et sp. nov. – a Late Cretaceous stem group member of the specialized Pseudomorphini (Carabidae, Coleoptera) from northern Myanmar
TL;DR: The fossil is the first record for Pseudomorphini and documents an origin of this specialized group of Carabidae at least dating back to the Cretaceous.
Journal ArticleDOI
Phylogenetic methods applied to extinct beetles — the case of † Tunguskagyrus (Gyrinidae or †Triaplidae)
TL;DR: It is maintained that even though some structural features deviate from the typical pattern found in extant Gyrinidae, it is maintained the placement of †Tunguskagyrus in the stemgroup of this family as the most plausibe interpretation.
