Dictyopteran research[edit]
- A new assemblage of nests produced by social insects is described from the Brushy Basin Member of the Upper Jurassic Morrison Formation (Utah, United States) by Smith, Loewen & Kirkland (2020), who name a new ichnotaxon Eopolis ekdalei. The nests are attributed to soil dwelling social termites, suggesting an early Jurassic transition to ground nesting in arid areas for the group.[217]
- A study on the phylogenetic relationships of the Cretaceous insect Umenocoleus is published by Beutel, Luo & Wipfler (2020).[218]
- A study on the evolutionary history of dictyopterans, based on molecular and fossil data, is published by Condamine et al. (2020).[219]
- Fossil oothecae produced by dictyopteran insects, representing the earliest fossil evidence of oothecae reported so far, are described from the Upper Triassic (Carnian) Potrerillos Formation (Argentina) by Cariglino, Lara & Zavattieri (2020), who name new ichnotaxa Oothecichnus pensilis and Oothecichnus duraznensis.[220]
