Bombal bees jirgled London’s flowers 24 million years ago, showing gossip evidence

An international research team headed by the Department of Body and Biodiovascular Research at the University of Vienna has discovered an extraordinary discovery: Jovashm Lemon’s flowers and fossilbed bomber bees were found about their agriculture in 24 million -year -old ancient sesame seeds. These results show that millions of years ago, the most important jirgas of London (or lime/bosswood) trees were already in the bomber bees.

In view of the current global decline in pests and wild bees, such as wild bees, the beginning and evolution of the flow of flowers is becoming increasingly important. The results of the study appear in the journal A new phytologist.

At the University of Vienna, the project leader and the last author from the division of structural and functional botany explains Fragir Grimson, “We have made hundreds, even thousands of flowers and even thousands of flowers, even for the jirga, in hopes of gaining insights about the evolution of flowers, flower visitors and jargon.”

Old Gavish – New Ways

These microscopes are visible using grains UV and blue light and then extracted individually or from flowers or in insects, or using insect hair using a very small, fine needle in a minimal invasive procedure. After a careful cleaning of the jirga grain, they were analyzed using high resolution lights and electron microscopy.

The result of the study of the jirg: Some of the inspected flowers came from the London tree, and several bumbles visited London flowers before they drowned in the former volcanic crater lake.

Three new generations were described

In the distribution of structural and active bothy at Vienna University, the lead writer and a doctorate student, Christian Jear, explain, “The newly discovered London flowers were named Telia Magnispala, which means” London Tree with large apparatus, “.

Two new species of the Bombal Bee were also named: Bombus (Cronobombs) Messigus and Bombus (Time Bombus) Pelviser. Their names refer to their old age, their shapes and the place where they were found. Fusil was found during the excavation of a lake lake near the Rhinland-Platinate in the Rainland-Platinate, Germany.

The flowers and their jirgas are first described from the same sword

The London flower described is the first part of its kind from the European continent which is recorded and described according to the polynological standards. Gavasam Bombal Bees are among the oldest representatives of their generation. Only one generation is old from Colorado (USA).

“This is the first time worldwide that focus flowers and its jirga bees are described with the same sword and is directly linked to each other using the jirg.

Learn from the past for the future

The fossil record provides insights about dynamic progress in the past: changes due to climate change, species of species and evolutionary adaptation.

The analysis of foolish animals and plant groups allows them to draw conclusions about their response to their behavior and climate change.

Jeer explains, “In our study, the kind of flies we studied, managed to identify a certain degree of flower consistency. This means that they visit only one type of plant during the same flight.” “The results like these are important to better understand the critical mutual and flexibility of today’s ecosystem.”
