Research
- Possible underwater mayfly burrows are described from the Turonian Ferron Sandstone (Utah, United States) by King et al. (2021), who interpret this finding as evidence that burrowing mayflies adapted to domicile filter-feeding during or prior to the Turonian, and name a new ichnospecies Glossifungites gingrasi.[54]
- A study on the phylogenetic placement of the family Umenocoleidae, based on data from a new specimen of Umenocoleus sinuatus from the Lower Cretaceous Zhonggou Formation (China), is published by Liuo et al. (2021).[55]
- Grimaldi & Vea (2021) reinterpret Mesophthirus engeli as a scale insect, and reject the interpretation of this insect as an ectoparasite.[56]
- A piece of Burmese amber preserving the complete series of free-living stages (except of the last larval instar) of a Cretaceous parasitoid beetle Paleoripiphorus is described by Batelka, Engel & Prokop (2021).[57]
- The first known Cretaceous caterpillar armoured with spines is described from the Burmese amber by Haug & Haug (2021).[58]
- Baranov et al. (2021) document a high diversity of fly larvae from the Eocene Baltic amber, preserving taxonomically, morphologically, and ecologically important characters, and evaluate the implications of this finding for the knowledge of the functional ecology of the Eocene fly larvae.[59]
