An international research team led by a University of Bristol scientist has explained the preservation of colours in fossil insects for the first time. The discovery explains why colours change and why they are destroyed during fossilisation, revealing hidden gems in the insect fossil record that could help reconstruct the evolution of colours in insects.
The crucial effect of two key factors in the escalation of extreme mega-heatwave temperatures is explored in a new study from the University of Bristol, just published in Nature Geoscience.
