Bayesian modelling of the fossil record enlightens the evolutionary history of Hemiptera | Proceedings of the Royal Society B: Biological Sciences
Hemiptera, the fifth most diverse insect order, are characterized by their high diversity
in deep time, with 145 known extinct families. However, the precise timing of the

Such a wonderful month of excavations in the footsteps of tropical South American vertebrates across the Cenozoic of #Colombia and #Perú
Quite pleasant to go beyond the computer from time to time!
Thanks to our Colleagues from the universities of Bucaramanga (UIS) and Lima 🙏
