First report of staminate flowers of Calatola (Metteniusales: Metteniusaceae) from the Miocene Mexican amber

Emilio Estrada-Ruiz et al.

Summary: In this study, a new fossil species of Calatola (Metteniusaceae) is described from the Miocene Chiapas amber in Southern Mexico. This is the first macrofossil record of the genus discovered in Mexico and provides evidence for a wider distribution of the genus in low latitudes in North America.

New fossil species of Entada genus (Fabaceae, Caesalpinioideae, mimosoid clade) from the Miocene amber of Chiapas, Mexico

Emilio Estrada-Ruiz et al.

Summary: This article describes a new fossil species belonging to the Entada genus, found in Mexican amber from the Miocene. The fossil is characterized by actinomorphic bisexual flowers and represents the first record of the genus in Mexican amber from this time period. This supports the idea that several genera present in Mexico today were already growing in the area during the Neogene.

Phylogeny and morphology of Ophiocordyceps puluongensis sp. nov. (Ophiocordycipitaceae, Hypocreales), a new fungal pathogen on termites from Vietnam

Zhi-Hong Xu et al.

Summary: This study contributes to the taxonomic knowledge of entomopathogenic fungi by describing a new pathogen, Ophiocordyceps puluongensis, found on termites in Vietnam. Through morphological and molecular phylogenetic evidence, O. puluongensis is identified as a distinct termite pathogen within the Ophiocordyceps genus. Its potential as a bioinsecticide for termite control is supported by both molecular phylogeny and morphology.

Evolutionary history of interactions among terrestrial arthropods

David A. Grimaldi

Summary: The study of terrestrial arthopod fossils preserved in amber and as permineralized replicas has been transformed by the use of CT scanning techniques. This allows for detailed examination of the fossils, leading to improved understanding of their evolutionary relationships. However, current molecular divergence-time models still rely on inadequate fossil calibrations, resulting in estimates that may not align with the direct evidence from morphology. The article briefly reviews the interactions among terrestrial arthropods, such as predation, parasitoidism, phoresy, and social symbionts, as revealed by the fossil record. Predation is the oldest and most widespread form of interaction, dating back to the Silurian period. The article also highlights the importance of Burmese amber, which contains the most diverse Cretaceous paleobiota and provides insights into insect eusociality and the interrelationships among terrestrial arthropods. The fossilized arthropod interrelationships found in Miocene Dominican amber are presented as visual examples.

A Review of Ectoparasitic Fungi Associated With Termites

Megan Wilson et al.

Summary: Termites and ectoparasitic fungi have been in conflict for millions of years, with the fungi successfully infiltrating the termite colonies. The prevalence of fungal ectoparasites on termites is likely underestimated, and this review aims to synthesize extensive research to provide a comprehensive update. By uniting knowledge from entomology and mycology, this review serves as a valuable resource for researchers in both fields.

Allocordyceps baltica gen. et sp. nov. (Hypocreales: Clavicipitaceae), an ancient fungal parasite of an ant in Baltic amber

George Poinar et al.

Summary: A new genus and species of ancient fungal parasite, Allocordyceps baltica, has been discovered in Baltic amber, which could be a precursor of the genus Ophiocordyceps with unique morphological features. This fossil fungus dates back to approximately 35-55 million years ago.

Ophiocordyceps salganeicola, a parasite of social cockroaches in Japan and insights into the evolution of other closely-related Blattodea-associated lineages

Joao P. M. Araujo et al.

Summary: This study identified a new species of Ophiocordyceps infecting social cockroaches, revealing the evolutionary relationship between Ophiocordyceps lineages infecting cockroaches and their origins from beetles and termites. The research suggests that Ophiocordyceps could have originated from an ancestor infecting termites and not from beetle larvae as previously proposed.
