Parasitic Relationships: Trapped in time

Analysis of specimens preserved in amber from the Cretaceous period suggests that nematodes changed their host preference towards insects with a complete metamorphosis more recently.

Parasite-induced shell damage in brachiopod Porambonites (Porambonites) laticaudata from the Late (Sandbian) of

doi.org/10.3176/earth.2023.23

The pits in the shell margin are most likely caused by the presence of symbionts which benefitted from inhalant currents and caused damage to the host . This is consistent with rather than previously know damage linked with failed attacks by durophagous .

@marina_gorbunova @marina_gorbunova @nev @mendel Added 7 ovipositing Trigonalidae observations.
inaturalist.org/observations?p

Trigonalids have an incredible life history where they lay thousands of eggs in or on leaves and these must be ingested by a caterpillar which must be parasitized by an ichneumon or tachinid or caught by a predatory wasp and fed to her larvae, which they will parasitize and mature in.
