项目摘要

Recent studies on plant-insect interactions in deep time have shown that global change components, such as climate change, can change biodiversity and trophic interactions. They have also shown that biodiversity loss may greatly impede trophic interactions and change the overall food web structure of ecological systems. Most of these studies were situated in the early Cenozoic were major climate shifts took place. The Neogene and particularly the Pliocene have never been subject to such a detailed investigation on plant/insect associations. As being among the most famous plant localities in the world and being one of the richest Pliocene floras in Europe, the Upper Pliocene Lagerstätte Willershausen is an ideal setting for the evaluations of relationships among global climate, atmospheric CO2, and global change on multitrophic interactions and biodiversity under conditions significantly warmer than today, but with a similar palaeogeographic configuration. Furthermore, the project covers also general effects on multitrophic interactions, such as host plant use and conservation of host-taxon associations, which may often be triggered by geographic shifts or climatic changes that alter the biotic environment. As Fagaceae (beech family) are a common component around the acient Willershausen lake, the fossil leaves allow an analysis of phylogenetic patterns in the evolution of oak associations that seems to be driven by their long-term evolutionary history, with the most species-rich lineages of galling insects - the oak gallwasps (Hymenoptera, Cynipidae, Cynipini).

关于植物侵入相互作用的最新研究表明，诸如气候变化之类的全球变化成分可以改变生物多样性和营养相互作用。他们还表明，生物多样性丧失可能会极大地阻碍营养的相互作用，并改变生态系统的整体食物网络结构。这些研究大多数位于新生代早期，是发生了重大气候变化。新近世，尤其是上新世，我们从未对植物/昆虫关联进行如此详细的研究。作为世界上最著名的植物区域之一，并且是欧洲最丰富的上新世植物植物之一，上新世拉格斯特·威尔斯豪森（LagerstätteWillershausen）是评估全球气候，大气气候二氧化碳和全球气候变化之间关系中多嗜性互动和生物多样性的全球关系变化的理想场所，但与当今的配置相比，具有类似的Palaeepration ander applae pallae pallae pallaesoprication。此外，该项目还涵盖了对多营养相互作用的一般影响，例如宿主植物的使用和宿主 - 塔克森关联的保护，这些相关通常可能是由地理变化或改变生物环境的气候变化触发的。 As Fagaceae (beech family) are a common component around the acient Willershausen lake, the fossil leaves allow an analysis of phylogenetic patterns in the evolution of oak associations that Seems to be driven by their long-term evolutionary history, with the most species-rich lineages of galling insulation - the oak gallwasps (Hymenoptera, Cynipidae, Cynipini).
