Deep learning reveals ecological decoupling and rate heterogeneity in Hymenoptera wing evolution

Quantifying biomorphological evolution and integrating phenotypic data into large-scale ecological and evolutionary studies are often limited by the scalability, subjectivity, and poor interpretability of existing methods. We introduce HAIKA (Hierarchical Attention-based Interpre...

An association of Liquidambar (Altingiaceae) vegetative and reproductive structures from the Miocene of South China

Liquidambar is a classic example of the eastern Asian–eastern North American biogeographic disjunction, and its fossil record is critical for understanding the evolutionary history and taxonomy of Altingiaceae. In particular, associated vegetative and reproductive fossils provide...
