Portrait of a Gondwanan ecosystem: A new late Permian fossil locality from KwaZulu-Natal, South Africa (2009, background): “Taxa most likely responsible were mites, sternorrhynchan hemipteroids, perhaps related to the two nymphal fossils at Clouston, and early lineages of endophytic holometabolous insects (Labandeira, 2005).”
The four phases of plant-arthropod associations in deep time (2006, background): “Herbivore Expansion 1 occurs from the Late Silurian to the Early Mississippian and is linked to a distinct combination of primitive, terrestrial vascular plant and arthropod clades.”
The Fossil Record of Plant-Insect Dynamics (2013, background): “…Karoo floras in Early Triassic deposits immediately after the P-Tr crisis suggest a profound downturn in plant and insect diversity and the near absence of plant-insect associations (Labandeira 2005, 2006a), although the Eurasian data are richer (Krassilov & Karasev 2008, Shcherbakov 2008).”
The Pollination of Mid Mesozoic Seed Plants and the Early History of Long-proboscid Insects1,2,3 (2010, methodology): “Insect phylogeny is principally from Grimaldi and Engel (2005), supplemented by various sources in Labandeira (2005a) for Diptera subclades, and Labandeira et al. (in prep.) for Neuroptera subclades.”
