Beetles beat out extinction: Rich diversity of present-day beetles may be due to extinction resistance

18 marzo 2015

A new study combs through fossil records to arrive at a unique new perspective: The rich diversity of beetles results more from low extinction rates rather than high origination rates. Through these fossils, researchers could plot the population fluxes of beetles as far back as their origins in the Premian period 284 million years ago.
