• Fossil insects of the middle and upper Permian of European Russia (2013, background): “First, this hypothesis discards abundant evidence of the affinity of Manteida to Blattida and, in particular, to certain advanced groups of Mesozoic Blattida (Vršansky , 2002; Grimaldi and Engel, 2005; Kukalová and Beutel, 2012).”
• Rainforest collapse triggered Carboniferous tetrapod diversification in Euramerica (2010, background): “However, some insects had additionally evolved herbivorous and predatory forms (Labandeira and Sepkoski, 1993; Grimaldi and Engel, 2005).”
• The Fossil Record of Plant-Insect Dynamics (2013, background): “…more extensive pulse is coincident with the first occurrences of 12 ordinal-level insect lineages, including mayflies, archaic “dragonflies,” piercingand-sucking paleodictyopteroids, grasshopper-like orthopteroids, and the earliest holometabolous insects (Grimaldi & Engel 2005, Labandeira 2011).”
• The four phases of plant-arthropod associations in deep time (2006, background): “The Palaeodictyopteroidea is considered to be monophyletic, united with distinctive mouthpart characters, and consists of the subclades Palaeodictyoptera, Megasecoptera, Diaphanopterodea and Dicliptera (Grimaldi and Engel, 2005).”
• The Neuropterid Fauna of Dominican and Mexican Amber (Neuropterida: Megaloptera, Neuroptera) (2007, background): “The identity of Whalfera, however, has been questioned by many, and the genus is very likely a rhachiberothid (Aspöck and Mansell, 1994; Engel, 2004b; Grimaldi and Engel, 2005; Wedmann and Makarkin, 2007).”
• The radiation of Satyrini butterflies (Nymphalidae: Satyrinae): a challenge for phylogenetic methods (2011, background): “However, the scant fossil record of butterflies is not of much help, as only four fossil species are assigned to the Satyrinae, and the oldest specimen is thought to be around 25 Myr in age (Grimaldi & Engel, 2005).”
• The Role of Behavior in the Evolution of Spiders, Silks, and Webs (2007, background): “By late Carboniferous times (c. 310 Mya) insects had become an important element of the predominantly forest fauna and insect flight had evolved (Grimaldi & Engel 2005).”
• Evolutionary History of the Hymenoptera. (2017, background): “These evolutionary transitions are partially reflected by the historic classification of Hymenoptera: sawflies (‘‘Symphyta’’) are those Hymenoptera that lack the wasp waist that characterizes all remaining Hymenoptera (Apocrita), ‘‘Parasitica’’ encompasses the primarily parasitoid Apocrita that lack”
