I am extremely happy and proud to share the first paper on my PhD research!! Plant-arthropod interactions preserved on fossil leaves and stems are evidence of these key organisms living, feeding and reproducing in past ecosystems 🌿🦗🪲🌱

Fantastic week at this year's IOPC/IPC conference in Prague where I got to share my work to many other plant and past climate fans! 🌳🗺️
Not only that, but I got to meet and share thoughts with many other curious individuals. 💡

Fascinating talk about aerenchyma by @ALDecombeix, something I wasn't aware of before!

[Holly-Anne Turner @holly_anne__]

There were some amazing talks on fossil plants, insects and fungi at the #IPC #IOPC over the last couple of days. I presented my PhD research on plant-arthropod interactions too, thanks to everyone who came and asked me questions!

[Marcos Amores @tree_amores]

Interesting presentation by @Fiafossil on malformations of spores-pollen and large igneous provinces. Too bad the organisation had to cut it short!

[Sandy Hetherington @Sandy_Heth]

Really interesting to hear the latest updates from
