Do we need a paradigm change? Disputing coevolution in herbivorous insects
04-10-2007 · EurekAlert!
It is commonly accepted that phytophagous beetles and their host plants (mainly the likewise speciose angiosperms or flowering plants) have radiated in concert since the origin of both groups in the early Cretaceous.

However, a new study by Dr. Jesús Gómez-Zurita and collaborators challenges this view.
