“…Herbivore insect culprits responsible for these DTs likely were beetles (DT01), orthopteroids (DT12), sternorrhynchan hemipterans (DT33) and paleodictyopteroids or polyphagan beetles (DT101) [47,149,150,159]. Possible predators of the insect consumers of these herbivores likely included odonatans, heteropterans, neuropterans and polyphagan beetles.…”

“…These studies have focused on documentation and qualitative assessments of individual plant–insect relationships in a variety of depositional settings and ages. Detailed descriptions of associations have come from Western Europe [42–44], and from Russia in deposits associated with creation of the Ural Mountains and the Volga and Kama River basins [45–47]. One latest Permian site, the Sokovka locality in European Russia [48], records the earliest occurrence of leaf mining [45], a distinctive interaction whose earliest occurrence previously was recorded from the Middle Triassic [9].…”

To discern the effect of the end-Permian (P-Tr) ecological crisis on land, interactions between plants and their insect herbivores were examined for four time intervals containing ten major floras from the Dolomites of northeastern Italy during a Permian–Triassic interval. These floras are: (i) the Kungurian Tregiovo Flora; (ii) the Wuchiapingian Bletterbach Flora; (iii) three Anisian floras; and (iv) five Ladinian floras. Derived plant–insect interactional data is based on 4242 plant specimens (1995 Permian, 2247 Triassic) allocated to 86 fossil taxa (32 Permian, 56 Triassic), representing lycophytes, sphenophytes, pteridophytes, pteridosperms, ginkgophytes, cycadophytes and coniferophytes from 37 million-year interval (23 m.yr. Permian, 14 m.yr. Triassic). Major Kungurian herbivorized plants were unaffiliated taxa and pteridosperms; later during the Wuchiapingian cycadophytes were predominantly consumed. For the Anisian, pteridosperms and cycadophytes were preferentially consumed, and subordinately pteridophytes, lycophytes and conifers. Ladinian herbivores overwhelming targeted pteridosperms and subordinately cycadophytes and conifers. Throughout the interval the percentage of insect-damaged leaves in bulk floras, as a proportion of total leaves examined, varied from 3.6% for the Kungurian (N = 464 leaves), 1.95% for the Wuchiapingian (N = 1531), 11.65% for the pooled Anisian (N = 1324), to 10.72% for the pooled Ladinian (N = 923), documenting an overall herbivory rise. The percentage of generalized consumption, equivalent to external foliage feeding, consistently exceeded the level of specialized consumption from internal feeding. Generalized damage ranged from 73.6% (Kungurian) of all feeding damage, to 79% (Wuchiapingian), 65.5% (pooled Anisian) and 73.2% (pooled Ladinian). Generalized-to-specialized ratios show minimal change through the interval, although herbivore component community structure (herbivore species feeding on a single plant-host species) increasingly was partitioned from Wuchiapingian to Ladinian. The Paleozoic plant with the richest herbivore component community, the coniferophyte Pseudovoltzia liebeana, harbored four damage types (DTs), whereas its Triassic parallel, the pteridosperm Scytophyllum bergeri housed 11 DTs, almost four times that of P. liebeana. Although generalized DTs of P. liebeana were similar to S. bergeri, there was expansion of Triassic specialized feeding types, including leaf mining. Permian–Triassic generalized herbivory remained relatively constant, but specialized herbivores more finely partitioned plant-host tissues via new feeding modes, especially in the Anisian. Insect-damaged leaf percentages for Dolomites Kungurian and Wuchiapingian floras were similar to those of lower Permian, north-central Texas, but only one-third that of southeastern Brazil. Global herbivore patterns for Early Triassic plant–insect interactions remain unknown.

“…Previously named species within the family from Germany were restricted to N. parvulus and Mesotrichopteridium intermedium and it was suggested that the latter may not be a necrotauliid [12] but that the Lower Jurassic material from England and Kyrgyzstan needed revising first to properly understand affinities. The genus was likened to Prorhyacophila (in Prorhyacophilidae Riek as per [15]) and although the holotype was not examined it was suggested that Prorhyacophila was a junior synonym of Mesotrichopteridium. The following genera were considered as Lepidoptera by Ansorge [12]: Archiptilia Handlirsch; Epididontus Handlirsch; Metarchitaulius Handlirsch; Nannotrichopteron Handlirsch; Palaeotaulius Handlirsch; Pararchitaulius Handlirsch; Parataulius Handlirsch; Paratrichopteridium Handlirsch; and Pseudorthophlebia Handlirsch.…”

Species previously attributed to Necrotauliidae are revised from the Late Triassic and Early Jurassic of England based on examination of type specimens and non-type material. The necrotauliids have been considered as a basal family of caddisflies (Trichoptera) or as a paraphyletic assemblage of stem-amphiesmenopterans. Herein a new genus, Austaulius, is erected which includes all Lilstock Formation\Lower Lias material from England; the previously described species are synonymized with A. furcatus and a new species, A. haustrum, is described from the Dorset Coast, the holotype of which preserves synapomorphic traits of the Trichoptera not previously described suggesting that the family is trichopteran. The type genus remains Necrotaulius and type species N. parvulus (Geinitz, 1884) from the type locality of Dobbertin, Germany. One species of Necrotaulius is represented in the UK, N. parvulus, which is found in the Upper Lias.

“…The Lodève insect fauna is composed of several orders of insects, belonging to the palaeopterous lineages Odonatoptera, Diaphanopterodea, and Palaeodictyoptera, as well as orthopterans and early representatives of modern holometabolan clades (Béthoux, 2008). In contrast, the insect assemblages of the Guadalupian to Lopingian of European Russia are significantly more diverse (Aristov et al, 2013), and broadly include diverse archaeorthopterans, orthopterans and early representatives of several extant holometabolous lineages. Accordingly, we tentatively propose that the Bletterbach ecosystem supported a herbivorous insect fauna containing taxa as diverse as mandibulate orthopteroids, piercing-and-sucking hemipteroids and the likely exophytic and endophytic larvae of basal holometabolous lineages.…”

“…The Vyaznikovian fossil assemblage also shows abundant evidence for plant-arthropod interactions (Krassilov and Karasev, 2008), as well as a rich insect fauna including Thysanoptera (Lophoneurida), Neuroptera, Mecoptera, Hemiptera, Paleomanteida, Coleoptera, Trichoptera, Blattida, Grylloblattida, Orthoptera, and Dermaptera (Protelytroptera). Cockroaches (Blattida) dominate (65% of insect remnants); leafhoppers (Hemiptera) and grylloblattids (Grylloblattoda), consisting of 17% and 8%, respectively, are less common (Aristov et al, 2013;Lozovsky et al, 2016).…”

Keywords:Tetrapoda flora phytoprovinces plant-insect interactions climate endemism latitudinal diversity gradient A B S T R A C TThe late Palaeozoic is a pivotal period for the evolution of terrestrial ecosystems. Generalised warming and aridification trends resulted in profound floral and faunal turnover as well as increased levels of endemism. The patchiness of well-preserved, late Permian terrestrial ecosystems, however, complicates attempts to reconstruct a coherent, global scenario. In this paper, we provide a new reconstruction of the Bletterbach Biota (Southern Alps, NE Italy), which constitutes a unique, low-latitude record of Lopingian life on land. We also integrate floral, faunal (from skeletal and footprint studies), and plant-insect interaction data, as well as global climatic interpretations, to compare the composition of the 14 best-known late Permian ecosystems. The results of this ecosystem-scale analysis provide evidence for a strong correlation between the distribution of the principal clades of tetrapod herbivores (dicynodonts, pareiasaurs, captorhinids), phytoprovinces and climatic latitudinal zonation. We show that terrestrial ecosystems were structured and provincialised at high taxonomic levels by climate regions, and that latitudinal distribution is a key predictor of ecosystem compositional affinity. A latitudinal diversity gradient characterised by decreasing richness towards higher latitudes is apparent: mid-to lowlatitude ecosystems had the greatest amount of high-level taxonomic diversity, whereas those from high latitudes were dominated by small numbers of higher taxa. The high diversities of tropical ecosystems stem from their inclusion of a mixture of late-occurring holdovers from the early Permian, early members of clades that come to prominence in the Triassic, and contemporary taxa that are also represented in higher latitude assemblages. A variety of evidence suggests that the Permian tropics acted as both a cradle (an area with high origination rates) and museum (an area with low extinction rates) for biodiversity.
