Jurassic insects with feathers found with leaf found with their plant models in China

A research team, led by Professor Huang Daiing, from the Nanjing Institute of Geology and Pilotology of the Chinese Academy of Sciences (NIGPAS), has identified three species of Jurassic Orthooptier. An insect group includes an insect, cracks and categories.

The fossils, belonging to the sub -family of the propalingpaded family, were detected from Daohogo Biota, located in Mongolia, northeastern China, which is located about 165 million years ago. Appeared recently in the journal GenderThe study in this study is the first final evidence of the same geological bedding aircraft jointly safe used pests and their plant models.

Under the pressure of predictions, animals develop diverse defensive traits, and are extremely effective for pests. The leaf is widespread in the orders of insects such as leapopatira (butterflies and insects), orthopedia, neuroptera (lace wings), fasmodia (sticks worm) and Monotia (praying manesters). However, the evidence of the adaptation of this adaptation has long been less and often unreasonable.

The team analyzed the Daohogo Fusals and identified two separate imitation samples.

In Abu Dhabi Stratosis, the prediction includes six to seven transverse rectangles bands, running from twenty to nails through a long -running strip. This sample resembles the remote (outer) section of the fronts from the inomozamitis, a generation of Benittels.

In Sigmiles SP, a long -term, inclined strip crosses sticks, connecting six transverse rectangular bands. The design imitates a background of an inomosamitis ferundy. When rest, the offering of the insect will be aligned to create a completely inomosamitis front, in which the leaflets are arranged along the main axis.

Before the importance of flower plants (angio sperms), Benittels were a dominant component of the Mesozhic Fluorus. The addresses of the inmosamitis, in particular, were widely spread in Lorasia-an ancient Super Continent surrounded the modern-day Asia, Europe and North America.

Statistics analysis revealed an amazing connection. Both Abeelini Orthooparen and Inmosamitis exhibited similar trends throughout the species. This sample proposes a potential environmental affiliation between the two groups.

Additional clues support this link: Daohogo Biota and Sigmoviolas were large herbs in Biouta, and the inomosamitis has shown the leaves deep with their margins with their margins. Researchers have estimated that they lived on the jurassic leaves imitation pests and fed inmosamitis, and that this permanent environmental interaction has provided practical context for the evolution of their address imitation.

The study further suggested that the increasing prophecy pressure during the Jurassic caused the evolution of the leaf in the orthopathy. Although the steam birds were rare at the time, Dahogo Biota hosted a diverse array of hunters that were capable of hunting on the proofalngoposides (the group from which the Jovashim Orthopatrine). These included a relative of a gliding pesticide, a relative of a gliding pesticide. epidendrosaurus and epidexipteryx, small arbereal dinosaurs; And yolopaters, an pesticide, Anwarganh Petrosor.

In the Sinzok period (about 66 66 million years ago, the “age of the stars”), Catidides – which is a sub -group of orthopedics, solved more sophisticated imitation forms, such as dead leaves or partially imitating food leaves. The possibility of this growing specialization is potentially reflecting the pressure of the prediction, which, after late Cratesis, reflects the tissues of modern birds, as a result of the radiation of the passersby (about 23 million years ago).

Orthooptaren nowadays are the most abundant herbs nowadays, and the fierce record shows that their imitation strategies have shielded the dominant groups of plants during the geological time: the ovarian -powered plants and the gymnasisparam (such as the palmosux, and the psoriamic, and the palmosux.

This detection has highlighted the succession of the plant community, forecasting and the vibrant mutual relations between the defense of the insect. It also expands the environmental importance of the leaf in the orthoprotein and the scientific understanding of evolutionary history.
