September’s Creature Feature was about the feel of a forest, resinous trees, and fossils in amber. Check it out here.
It was based on the following research:
- Perez-de la Fuente, et al. 2012. Early evolution and ecology of camouflage in insects. Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences 109: 21414-21419.
- Bouchenak-Khelladi et al. 2010. The evolutionary history and biogeography of Mimosoideae (Leguminosae): An emphasis on African acacias. Molecular Phylogenetics and Evolution 57: 495 – 508.
- Research by Stefanie Ickert-Bond on Liquidambar, which you can find here.
