They are: (1) a Late Silurian to Late Devonian (60 m.y.) phase of myriapod and apterygote, hexapod (perhaps pterygote) herbivores on several clades of primitive vascular-plant hosts and a prototaxalean fungus; (2) a Late Mississippian to end-Permian (85 m.y.) phase of mites and apterygote and basal pterygote herbivores on pteridophyte and basal gymnospermous plant hosts; (3) a Middle Triassic to Recent (245 m.y.) phase of mites, orthopteroids (in the broadest sense) and hemipteroid and basal holometabolan herbivores on pteridophyte and gymnospermous plant hosts; and (4) a mid Early Cretaceous to Recent (115 m.y.) phase of modern-aspect orthopteroids and derived hemipteroid and holometabolous herbivores on angiospermous plant hosts. These host-plant and herbivore associations are medi- ated by seven functional feeding groups: a) external foliage feeding, b) piercing-and-sucking, c) boring (Phase 1 origins); d) galling, e) seed pr?dation, f) nonfeeding oviposition (Phase 2 origins); and leaf mining (early Phase 3 origin). Within about 20 m.y. of each herbivore expansion, there is a biota that expresses the nearly full spec- trum of later plant-arthropod associations. These four associational phases may be linked to the paleoclimato- logic variables of greenhouse/icehouse cycles and atmospheric O2 and CO2 levels by uncertain causes, although some relationship probably is present. The 7 functional feeding groups persist through most of the sampled interval but harbor host-plants and arthropod herbivores that are spatiotemporally ephemeral. Poor understand- ing of associations in Phases 1 to 3 is attributed to disproportionate focus on the angiosperm and holometabolan insect associations of Phase 4. KEYWORDS I Plant-insect-associations.

The major macroscopic source for biodiversity on the Nowhere is the combination of taxonomic diversity and planet is land plants and arthropods (Wilson, 1992; ecological richness better demonstrated than the varied Schoonhoven et al., 2005). These two hyperdiverse plant-insect associations that have been documented for clades, and to some extent, fungi, historically have pro- the fossil record during the latest wave of major terrestri- lUB-ICTJA I 4091 ce. LABANDEIRA Plant-Arthropod Associations in Deep Time alization that commenced about 420 m.y. ago, during the Late Silurian (Labandeira, 2005a). This major invasion of terrestrial environments has continued unabated to the Recent and has experienced a dramatic expansion in taxo- nomic speciosity, major clade diversity, biomass abun- dance, biogeographic colonization, and ?cologie richness (Labandeira 2002a). Although these five measures are inextricably linked, it is ecological richness that provides the single most effective way of assessing how terrestrial ecosystems evolve in deep geologic time (Vermeij, 2004). In particular, it is an examination of plant-insect associa- tions?which provides the paleobiological evidence for the fundamental interorganismic links of species within food webs, communities, and ecosystems ?that is the central focus of this study. The ecology of plant-insect associations is a signifi- cant aspect of modern ecological research, as illustrated by sections of ecological journals devoted to this topic. However, the intensity and broad scope of the study of modern plant-insect associations has not been matched by a parallel examination of the fossil record (Labandeira, 2005b). This disconnect is attributable mainly to an over- whelming paleobiological focus on the description, clas- sification, and phylogenetic analyses of taxa, rather on the paleoecological associations of plants and arthropods. Recently, however, there has been a gradual and sus- tained, albeit limited, trend toward examination of plant- insect associations in the fossil record. These studies are characterizable into: (1) studies of a specific host plant interaction with an insect herbivore (Amerom and Boers- ma, 1971; Zhou and Zhang, 1989; Waggoner and Poteet, 1996), typically involving one or perhaps a few associa- tions; (2) the examination of a particular insect herbivore functional feeding group, such as leaf mining, on multiple hosts within a flora of interest (Crane and Jarzembowski, 1980; Lang et al., 1995); or alternatively (3) the compara- tively rare assessment of multiple herbivore associations on a single host-plant genus or species, such as Early Devonian Psilophyton DAWSON 1859 (Trant and Gensel, 1985; Banks and Colthart, 1993) or Late Pennsylvanian Psaronius chasei MORGAN 1959 (Labandeira, 1998c; Labandeira and Phillips, 1996a, 1996b); and (4) the com- prehensive study typically of an entire flora and all of its herbivore associations, replete with a multitude of plant hosts and herbivore damage types. This fourth approach of evaluating bulk floras has variously focused on general qualitative examinations (Straus, 1977; Scott et al. 1985, Stephenson and Scott, 1992; Grauvogel-Stamm and Kel- ber, 1996; Ash, 1997; Castro, 1997; Glasspool et al., 2003), quantitative use of presence-absence data such as Scott and Taylor (1983) from a comparatively limited number of specimens representing a single plant-host tax- on, to diverse bulk floras with explicitly described dam- age types (Labandeira et al., 2002a; Wilf and Labandeira, 1999; Wilf et al., 2005) or quantitative assessments of herbivorized versus original surface area (Beck and Labandeira, 1998; Adami-Rodrigues et al., 2004b), simi- lar to examinations of extant plants (Wint, 1983; Coley and Barone, 1996). To date, there have been a sufficient number of such studies regionally and from the latest Sil- urian to the Pleistocene-Holocene boundary that a global data set now can be assembled and examined for coarse- grained patterns involving vascular plants, herbivorous arthropods, and their ecological associations. The results of these data provide the broadest view of how plant- arthropod associations have appeared, expanded, and con- tracted in terrestrial environments, resulting in the bewil- dering ecological richness of today (Wilson, 1992). Although the data provided herein are comparatively coarse, it is my intention to provide a plant-arthropod asso- ciational baseline for Phanerozoic terrestrial ecosystems, by which finer patterns, involving taxonomically more cir- cumscribed plant hosts and arthropod herbivores, can be further elucidated. In parts of this temporal-taxonomic- associational matrix where preservational potential is high and intervals of geologic time are relatively short, more taxonomically circumscribed plant-host clades, or lineages, can be specified and investigated for the evolution of their component communities of arthropod herbivores (Root, 1973; Futuyma and Mitter, 1996). As an alternative to this lineage-by-lineage "vertical" approach, a "horizontal" approach would examine the topology of a herbivore radia- tion or demise, such as the geochronologically sudden col- onization of plant-host lineages by clades of arthropod her- bivores, leading to particular types of stereotyped associations or specified lineages of insect gallers or leaf miners (Farrell, 1998; Wilf et al., 2000; Cook et al., 2002; Farrell and Sequeira, 2004). Fossil studies have the poten- tial to provide paleobiological ground-truthing, such as calibration rates of colonization or extinction by comparing occurrences of taxa to known time intervals, or tests of evo- lutionary hypotheses regarding the origin and evolution of plant-insect associations (Fox, 1988; Boucot, 1990; Jermy, 1993; Farrell and Mitter, 1993; Thompson, 1994; Price, 1997; Vermeij, 2004; Schoonhoven et al., 2005). It should be noted that historically the plant host (paleobotanical), arthropod herbivore (paleoentomological), and association- al (paleoecological) fossil records have been considered separate (Labandeira, 2002a), and have had minimal cross links for understanding how plants and arthropods actually have interacted in deep geologic time. METHODS, DATA STRUCTURE, AND RATIONALE This is the first compilation of published or otherwise personally observed associational data from the fossil record to provide plant hosts, types of associations, and Geol?gica Acta, Vol.4, N?4, 2006, 409-438 |410| ce. LABANDEIRA Plant-Arthropod Associations in Deep Time insect herbivores that are partitioned into discrete slices of time. The associational part of these data is expressed by the major types of feeding, known as functional feeding groups (Coulson and Witter, 1984; Labandeira, 1998a; Wilf and Labandeira, 1999). The plant-host taxa generally are provided at the conventionally accepted ordinal rank and the inferred arthropod herbivores are delimited by ordinal and superordinal ranks. The 7 functional feeding groups of plant-arthropod associations are a) external foliage feeding, b) piercing-and-sucking, c) boring, d) leaf mining, e) galling, f) seed pr?dation, and g) oviposi- tion. The first six are distinctive feeding strategies; the last one is not a feeding type, but rather a distinctive egg- laying strategy that involves endophytic insertion of eggs into plant tissues by a lancet-like device, the ovipositor (Wesenberg-Lund, 1913), and thus is included for com- pleteness since it has a significant fossil record of plant damage (B?thoux et al., 2004). This examination of the 6 functional feeding groups and oviposition is supplement- ed by an earlier, separate study of palynivory and nec- tarivory (Fig. 1; Labandeira, 2000). The additional func- tional feeding groups of palynivory and nectarivory (surface fluid feeding) are not considered further in this study. The plant taxa and phylogenetic framework to which the 7 associations were assigned is based mostly on the recent work of Anderson et al. (in press) and Hilton and Bateman (2006). A context for this contribution is provided by several studies of both plant diversity (Knoll and Niklas, 1987; Niklas et al., 1985) and insect diversity (Labandeira and Sepkoski, 1993; Jarzembowski and Ross, 1996; Dmitriev and Ponomarenko, 2002) through time that provide broad patterns of major clade origination, turnover and extinc- tion during the past 420 m.y., based on taxa that are assumed to be or are monophyletic from then-current evaluations (See Labandeira [2005a] for the validity and indispensability of the taxic approach in understanding major patterns of insect diversity through time). Although there has been discussion regarding the more specific and focused associational relationships of these two hyperdi- verse and interacting clades through time (Howe and Westley, 1988; Jolivet, 1998; Shcherbakov, 2000; Ver- meij, 2004; Schoonhoven et al., 2005), modest attempts have demonstrated mostly anecdotal evolutionary patterns (Willemstein, 1987; DiMichele and Hook, 1992; Scott et al. 1992; Labandeira, 2002a; Zherikhin, 2002a, 2002b). This contribution adds to these studies by providing: (1) documentation of the major plant lineages through time and identification of particular, ecologically dominant host-plant clades; (2) a record of major arthropod herbi- vore lineages through time (myriapods and especially mites and hexapods), including their intervals of domi- nance; (3) determination of the temporal distribution of the basic functional feeding groups based principally on arthropod-mediated damage on plants; (4) a temporal framework in which these three records are geochrono- logically related, including recent absolute-age calibra- tions of the geologic time scale and stage-level correla- tions of relevant strata; and (5) a preliminary assessment of the role between global phases of herbivory and envi- ronmental variables such as atmospheric oxygen abun- dance and surface temperature. Initial evaluation of the data was done by recording only those publications that had explicit and compelling photographic documentation. Personal observation by the author of unpublished plant-insect associational data also was included. Published and observational data included in the data base (see Appendix at www.geologica- acta.com) required demonstration of herbivory, often using multiple criteria, as opposed to detritivory (Laban- deira, 1998a; Scott and Titchener, 1999). For most func- tional feeding groups, one or more of the following four criteria were present (Labandeira, 1998a). First, the pres- ence of callus or other types of reaction tissue induced by trauma to a live plant should be demonstrated (Tovar et al., 1995). A second line of evidence, particularly for external foliage feeding, is the presence of micromorpho- logical structures such as veinal stringers, necrotic tissue flaps, and contiguous cuspules within larger excisions that are caused by mandibulate chewing, or other features that indicate active feeding (Gangwere, 1966; Kazikova, 1985; Araya et al., 2000). Third is the presence of stereo- typed feeding patterns that are consistent with known modern feeding types (Bodnaryk, 1992; Puplesis, 1994; Heron, 2003). The resulting plant-host damage types involve both a single, unique pattern by a host-specialist clade as well as a pattern that is convergently arrived at by different, often host-generalist, clades (see discussion in Labandeira et al. 2002a). Last, within diverse floras, distinctive plant-host specificity patterns and the targeting of particular tissue types can reveal herbivory that would not be expected from physically induced leaf injury such as wind damage or particle impact abrasion (Katterman, 1990; Vincent, 1990). In certain instances, criteria includ- ed links to known, highly distinctive, extant damage types (Opler, 1973), sometimes involving both conspecific lar- val and adult instars on the same host-plant species (Wilf et al., 2000). Collectively or singly, these four criteria effectively segregated herbivory from detritivory in almost all cases. Only in the case of boring in wood, was there often an absence of evidence for consumption of live tissue. However, since many holometabolous insect wood-borers live in live cambial tissue but also bore through dead secondary xylem, borings were included whose diameters indicate production by beetles or other holometabolous larvae. Excluded were borings attributed to detritivorous arthropods, such as termite galleries and all small diameter oribatid mite borings (Hueber and Geol?gica Acta, Vol.4, N?4, 2006, 409-438 |411| ce. LABANDEIRA Plant-Arthropod Associations in Deep Time Galtier, 2002), unless there was separate evidence for plant response tissues. Some groups of termites and mites are herbivorous (Krantz and Lindquist, 1979; Waller and La Fage, 1987), although their activities are more appro- priately registered in the fossil record from the evidence of plant damage attributed to external foliage feeders or as identifiable contents of coprolites. After herbivory was established by scrutiny of illus- trated examples from the paleoecological literature, as well as personally examined material, these data were included in the Appendix (www.geologica-acta.com). The Appendix was partitioned into four subsets, each defined by the temporal ranges of major host-plant and plant- feeding arthropod clades. In particular, these separations into four principal intervals were based on a combination of: (1) temporal ranges of major dominant plant-host and arthropod-herbivore clades in the fossil record, (2) extinc- tion or other major turnover events, whether of many individual clades or entire biotas, and (3) occasional inter- vals of ecologically distinctive associations not present in earlier or later biotas (Knoll and Niklas, 1987; Labandeira and Sepkoski, 1993; Stewart and Rothwell, 1993; Laban- deira, 2002a). The relevant literature on fossil plant-insect associa- tions was extensively but not exhaustively surveyed. In those instances where there were multiple duplicative lit- erature citations documenting the same association or set of associations, only the most comprehensive or recent source, or both, were used. Occurrence data from this search (Appendix; www.geologica-acta.com) represents a 420 m.y. interval from the latest Silurian to the latest Pleistocene, and resulted collectively in 181 biotas pos- sessing 424 separate associations. These biotas were allo- cated to 54 distinct, five-million-year bins of time based on age dates or stage-level correlations of each biota. These biotas range from a single association between a plant host and its arthropod herbivore (Karpi?ski, 1962; Amerom, 1966; Opler, 1982) to a few extensively studied biotas that contain numerous clades of damaged plant hosts, several types of associations, and a variety of inferred insect herbivores (Grauvogel-Stamm and Kelber, 1996; Ash, 1997; Wilf and Labandeira, 1999; Scott et al., 2004). However, for those specific host-plant taxa that harbored five or more functional feeding groups, a cutoff of four was used per cell for graphical clarity in figures 3- 6. Collectively, most of the data qualitatively occurred between the two end-members of single occurrences and descriptions of multitudinous associations from a single, diverse biota. The data (Appendix; www.geologica-acta.com) repre- sent 60 major clades of tracheophyte plants that have been considered typically at an ordinal taxonomic rank, with the exception of higher-ranked Devonian plant lin- eages (Rothwell and Serbet, 1994; Hilton and Bateman, 2006). For reasons of completeness, particularly as it relates to the origin of the borer functional feeding group, a "woody" Devonian clade of massive, lignified fungi iPrototaxites) was added to the host list. For arthropod herbivores, which are dominantly insects, 18 major clades were included, which traditionally have been allocated to ranks from order to superorder. These clades of plant hosts and insect herbivores interacted with each other through 7 plant-arthropod functional feeding groups. The quality of assignments for these three elements was best for functional feeding groups, whose assignments were obvious; of high but somewhat lesser reliability was iden- tification of the plant hosts; and the least reliable overall were the inferred insect herbivores, which occasionally lacked diagnostic plant-damage evidence that would con- fidently assign the potential culprit to a particular myria- pod, mite, or insect clade. TEMPORAL PATTERNS OF HERBIVORY The temporal distribution of plant hosts, associations, and arthropod herbivores resulted in four distinctive her- bivore expansion phases, paralleling in timing the previ- ously identified "evolutionary assemblages" for paly- nivory and nectarivory (Labandeira, 2000; Fig. 1). Defining features of these assemblages are: (1) a tempo- rally constrained and taxonomically distinctive suite of plant host-clades typically at the ordinal rank, (2) a simi- larly juxtaposed assemblage of arthropod herbivore clades that consumed or otherwise interacted with plant-host clades, and (3) the presence of a diverse, abundant, preservationally exceptional and associationally rich biota FIGURE 11 A matrix of vascular plants, insects, and their associations for palynivory and pollination, placed in geochronological context. This matrix details the four evolutionary assemblages of palynivores, nectarivores, pollinators, and their host plants that are distinct at the highest taxonomic lev- els, discussed in Labandeira (2000). Fossil plant and animal taxa at top are those that display evidence for plant-insect associations, based on direct or indirect evidence from dispersed coprolites, gut contents, plant reproductive biology, insect mouthpart structure, plant damage, and modern taxo- nomic affiliation. Thin horizontal connectors are well-supported associations from identified insects with known plant palynomorphs as gut contents. Plant taxa with asterisks (*) are spores or pollen; a few Paleozoic taxa refer to form-genera of plant organs with known whole-plant taxonomic attribu- tions. Taxa persisting to the present are indicated by bold vertical links, solid for Assemblages 3 and 4, respectively. The arthropod culprits of Assem- blage 1 remain unknown and probably include arthropods other than insects, such as myriapods. This compilation includes the most prominent stud- ies and is not complete.

LABANDEIRA Plant-Arthropod Associations in Deep Time early within the development of each of the four expansion phases. These biotas provide excellent examples of associ- ational richness within each expansion phase, and can be considered as a "flagship" biota to which others within the same expansion phase can be compared (Table 1). Herbivory in the Earliest Terrestrial Ecosystems A controversial issue regarding the trophic structuring of early land-based ecosystems is the role of detritivores versus herbivores in channeling the primary production of land plants into the food web. An early view was that ear- ly land ecosystems were scaled-down or otherwise simple versions of extant ecosystems, containing the full compli- ment of major trophic groups, including herbivores. An alternative view is that the earliest ecosystems either lacked herbivores or the consumption of live plant tissues was insignificant (Shear and Seiden, 2001; Habgood et al., 2004). Given the evidence, principally from coprolites and plant damage from several major Late Silurian-Mid- dle Devonian biotas, the truth is somewhere in between, with detritivory and palynivory dominant and herbivory and carnivory subordinate. The earliest herbivory was a consequence of a few modes of feeding, but qualitatively much less than that of the subsequent Carboniferous (Labandeira, 2002a). This conclusion is based on the sparse occurrence of insect-mediated plant lesions or bor- ings during the Late Silurian and Devonian (Labandeira, 1998a). The tracking of plant organs and the first instance of herbivory on them has a bimodal distribution (Fig. 2), suggesting a geologically earlier targeting of stems and spores but a delayed attack on roots, leaves, wood and seeds that was launched during the Late Missi- ssippian-Middle Pennsylvanian (lannuzzi and Laban- deira, unpubl. data). Although many recognize herbivory in the early land plant record, a dissenting view holds that some of these damaged tissues were either mediated by abiological agents or may not constitute herbivory (Shear and Seiden, 2001). There have been a significantly greater number of relevant studies of Pennsylvanian-age, when compared to Mississippian-age, floras (DiMichele and Hook, 1992), in addition to the fact that the Pennsylvan- ian is about one-third the duration of the Mississippian. Both of these factors may account for an intrinsically deficient record of herbivory during the Mississippian. Another issue is what constitutes 'herbivory?' The long-standing view of insect ecologists is that herbivory is the '...consumption by animals of any plant parts, includ- ing foliage, stems, roots, flowers, fruits or seeds' (Schowalter, 2000). An alternative concept of herbivory is that only consumption of the vegetative parts of the plant constitutes herbivory, and that seeds, spores and pollen and possibly roots are an exception because they are either too nutritionally rewarding or too difficult to access for digestion (Shear and Seiden, 2001). However, vegeta- tive parts of a plant also represent continua between less digestible tissues (e.g. vascular strands) to tissues with greater nutritional value (e.g. mesophyll). Additionally, pollen and spore protoplasts are accessible by a variety of insects that extract their contents by a range of processes without subjecting the exterior grain walls to physical breakage (Scott et al., 1985; Oliveira et al., 2002). Thus, consumption of all live plant tissues is considered as her- bivory, whereas the feeding on dead plant, fungal, and animal tissues is considered detritivory. It is this latter definition, proposed by ecologists, which provides the context for the initial herbivory on land (Figs. 1 to 3), as represented by Herbivore Expansions 1 and 2. Temporal Lags between the Origin of Plant Tissues and their Herbivory The Paleozoic fossil record of arthropod use of vascu- lar plant tissues is one of plant-host histological diversifi- cation up to the Pennsylvanian, with minor to major tem- poral lags between the time of anatomical origin of particular tissues and the time of origin of their herbivore consumption (Fig. 2). In some cases during the Late Sil- urian to Early Devonian there was relatively sudden and early colonization by palynivorous herbivores of sporan- gia and their spores (Figure 1; Edwards et al., 1995; Hab- good et al., 2004) by piercer-and-suckers of stems (Figure 2; Kevan et al., 1975; Banks and Colthart, 1993), and wood precursor tissues in the form of borings within the hardened basidiomycete fungus Prototaxites DAWSON 1859 (Hotton et al., 1996.). By contrast, subsequently derived tissues, occurring in organs such as roots, leaves, and seeds, originate from the later Early to Late Devon- ian, yet do not exhibit evidence for earliest herbivory until the Late Mississippian, representing lags from ~ 50 to 100 m.y. This latter herbivory event initiates Herbivore Expansion Phase 2, which includes folivory (lannuzzi and Labandeira, unpubl. data), a second expansion of boring into the true wood of lignophyte vascular plants (Dunn et al., 2003), seed pr?dation (Jennings, 1974), and roots (Labandeira, 2001). A similar lag also is evident at the commencement of Herbivore Expansion 3, in which the earliest example occurs from the early Middle to early Late Triassic, postdating the prior presence of relevant plant-host clades by several million years, especially true for the Karoo Basin of South Africa (Scott et al., 2004; Labandeira and Anderson, 2005.). Similarly, but perhaps more muted, was herbivore response that has been noted for the aftermath of the end-Cretaceous extinction within Herbivore Expansion 4, in which herbivore levels and richness during the latest Cretaceous were not reached until the Paleocene/Eocene boundary, some 10 m.y. after the extinction event (Wilf et al., 2001; Labandeira et al., 2002b).

Herbivore Expansion 1: Late Silurian to IVIid- Carboniferous Records of Herbivore Expansion 1 (Fig. 3), which persisted for about 60 m.y., originate from the coastlines of Euramerica (Appendix; www.geologica-acta.com). This phase consists of 5 examined biotas, each occurring in a five-million-year interval, but clustered toward the latest Silurian and Early Devonian. Three functional feed- ing groups (excluding palynivory; see Labandeira, 2000) and 10 discrete associations are present (Figs. 1 and 3; Table 1). Dominant host plants consist of basal clades of vascular plants, namely protracheophytes, trimerophytes, rhyniopsids, lycopsids, zosterophylls and pteridophytes, but also the massive basidiomycete Prototaxites (Hueber, 2001). Herbivorous arthropods probably were myriapods (diplopods and arthropleurids), mites, and to a lesser extent apterygote hexapods and possibly true insects. Four plant-arthropod associations are represented. These associations are external feeding (Trant and Gensel, 1985) and piercing-and sucking (Kevan et al., 1975; Banks and Colthart, 1993), both on photosynthetic tissues of stems; boring in the cortical and medullary tissues of the indurat- ed axial organs of Prototaxites and piths of land plants (Kidston and Lang, 1921; Hueber, 2001); and palynivory of spores and sporangia (Edwards et al., 1995; Habgood et al., 2004; Figs. 1 to 3). The dominantly targeted plant host appears to be the Rhyniopsida. The dominant herbi- Geologica Acta, Vol.4, N?4, 2006, 409-438 |415| ce.

Intervals of initial herbivory i Herbivore Expansion Phase 1 FIGURE 2 I Occurrence data provided for the first appearance and initial herbivore colonization of six organ or tissue types. Colonization of Herbivore Expansion 1 includes consumption of spores (Edwards et al., 1995; Edwards, 1996; Habgood et al., 2004); consumption of stem tissues by both external feeders (Kevan et al., 1975; Tr?nt and Gensei, 1985; Banks and Colthart, 1993) and by piercer-and-suckers (Kevan et al., 1975; Banks and Colthart, 1993); and borers of "woody" tissues in the form of lignified cortical and medullary tissues, depicted in Fig. 7. Borings occurred initially in vegetative portions of the massive basidiomycete fungus Prototaxites OKNsm 1859 (Hueber, 2001) that bear borings (Arnold, 1952; Hotton et al., 1996; Hueber, 2001 ; Labandeira pers. observ.), shown by the finely stippled Devonian pattern, and later as Late Mississippian and Pennsylvanian borings in plant hosts (Dunn et al., 2003), shown in the coarsely stippled pattern. These three latter functional feeding groups, and their plant hosts and inferred insect herbivores, are shown in Fig. 3. Note that Prototaxites is a fungus (Hueber, 2001), but served as an initial host for borers of ligni- fied tissues, a functional feeding group that later may have independently re-evolved on lignophyte plants by a different arthropod clade. Herbivore Expansion 2 commences during the later Mississippian, and contains a second invasion of borings in indurated tissues (Dunn et al., 2003), this time on lignophytic seed plants (Kenrick and Crane, 1997). Additionally, there is evidence for the initial herbivory on leaves, or external foliage feeding (lannuzzi and Labandeira, unpubl. data), initial seed pr?dation (Jennings, 1974), and initial root feeding (Labandeira, 2001). Root feeding is very poorly documented in the fossil record, and is not included in any figure as a distinct functional feeding group. Geol?gica Acta, Vol.4, N?4, 2006, 409-438 |416| ce.

The early "flagship" biota for Herbivore Expansion 1 is the permineralized Rhynie and Windyfield Cherts from southern Scotland, of Early Devonian (Pragian) age (Trewin and Rice, 2004). These deposits are part of the Dryden Flags Formation, and are interpreted as preserved siliceous hot springs within a region of lacustrine and flu- vial sedimentary environments (Trewin, 1994; Habgood et al., 2004). The associated biota consists of early land plants, a relatively diverse assemblage of freshwater and especially terrestrial arthropods, and a modest number of plant hosts and arthropod associations. Herbivore Expansion 2: Mid Carboniferous to the Permo-Triassic Boundary The earliest expression of Herbivore Expansion 2 (Fig. 4) is documented from two occurrences during the Late Mississippian. The older example is the earliest occurrence of external foliage feeding (lannuzzi and Labandeira, unpubl. data), about 6 million years prior to the sudden and major increase in the taxonomic diversity of winged insects at the Mississippian-Pennsylvanian boundary (Brauckmann et al., 1995). The other consists of borings in plant axial tissues from slightly younger strata (Dunn et al., 2003). Notably, both occurrences are on pteridosperm taxa. Documentation for Phase 2, which lasted approximately 85 m.y., principally originates from Euramerica during the Early Pennsylvanian to mid Early Permian, particularly the interior peat-bearing basins in the eastern United States and western Europe and from Gondwanaland during the mid Early Permian to the latest Permian, especially the Karoo Basin of South Africa, the Sydney and Bowen Basins of Australia, and the Paran? Basin of east-central South America (Appendix; www.geologica-acta.com). This phase of distinctive her- bivory documents 6 functional feeding groups (only leaf mining is absent), representing 57 separate associations from 31 biotas that occur among 14 five-million-year intervals. Palynivory is not included in this tabulation (Labandeira 2000). The dominant host plants consist of pteridophytes, mostly stem spermatophytes (seed plants), and to a lesser extent crown spermatophytes (sensu Hilton and Bateman, 2006) (Table 1; Figs. 1 and 4). Herbivorous arthropods are significantly more varied than those of Phase 1, and consist principally of myriapods, mites, and particularly paleopterous and neopterous insects, the lat- ter two of which predominantly consist, respectively, of the monophyletic paleodictyopteroids and the paraphyletic Geol?gica Acta, Vol.4, N?4, 2006, 409-438 |417| ce. LABANDEIRA Plant-Arthropod Associations in Deep Time "protorthopterans." The plant-host clades that were most targeted overall by herbivorous arthropods were medul- losan pteridosperms during the Pennsylvanian and Early Permian in Euramerica, and glossopterid pteridosperms throughout the Permian in Gondwana. Subordinately, Euramerican lyginopterid pteridosperms were attacked during the Pennsylvanian and cordaites in biogeographi- cally disparate sites during the Late Pennsylvanian and Early Permian. One of the major trends of Herbivore Expansion 2 during the Pennsylvanian and Early Permian is the launching of herbivory on meduUosan pteri- dosperms in Euramerica, which exhibits by far the great- est amount of herbivore-mediated damage, especially external foliage feeding, of any contemporaneous plant clade, both in terms of herbivorized pinnule area and fre- quency of attack (Greenfest and Labandeira, 1997; Beck and Labandeira, 1998; Labandeira, 2001). This phenome- non occurs both in compression floras, representing flu- vial subenvironments, and peat-substrate wetland envi- ronments (Labandeira, 2001). In a similar way glos- sopterids were preferentially targeted during the Permian in Gondwana (Plumstead, 1963; Holmes, 1995; Adami- Rodrigues et al., 2004a). An interesting pattern is the rela- tively balanced distribution of all 6 associations (Fig. 4), with the exception of overall dominance by external foliage feeding. The Calhoun Coal, from southeastern Illinois, U.S.A., of early Late Pennsylvanian (Kasimovian) age, is a mem- ber of the Mattoon Formation, and is a calcite permineral- ized coal-ball deposit representing a peat-swamp forest dominated by marattialean tree-ferns and subordinately by medullosan seed ferns (Labandeira, 2001).

Never- theless, the superb anatomical preservation of plant tis- sues in the Calhoun Coal has resulted in the most diverse assemblage of plant-insect associations for any known deposit of Herbivore Expansion 2 (Labandeira and Phillips, 1996a, 1996b, 2002). Evidence for insect-medi- ated herbivory is principally from varied types of anatom- ically preserved endophytic and exophytic plant damage that reveal details such as mouthpart stylet tracks, callus and other types of reaction tissue such as those from stylet tracks and galls, and diverse populations of copro- lites whose contents preserve pollen, spores, and vegeta- tive tissues assignable to both plant-host tissues and taxa. This evidence allows identification at the species level of almost all interacting host plants (Labandeira, 1998a, 1998c). Although this account is concerned principally with plant-herbivore associations, the pattern of Paleozoic detritivore associations also expresses a significant expan- sion coincident with the second phase of herbivory. Com- mencing during the Middle Mississippian (Visean), par- ticularly in Euramerican floras, there is a major increase of oribatid mite detritivory in a variety of host-plant and environmental settings (Rex, 1986; Scott, 1977; Scott et al., 1992; Labandeira et al., 1997; Tomescu et al., 2001), mixed with limited evidence for herbivory (Dunn et al., 2003). This degradation of a wide variety of Middle Mis- sissippian plant tissues continued throughout the Paleo- zoic and was extensively supplemented during the later Mesozoic by clades such as termites and wood roaches (Labandeira et al., 1997; Nalepa et al., 2001). Herbivore Expansion 3: IVliddIe Triassic to Recent The lower boundary of Herbivore Expansion 3 (Fig. 5) is probably the end-Permian event, coupled with major floral turnover during the Late Permian. The earliest evi- dence for Herbivore Expansion 3 is found in three princi- pal regions during the Middle Triassic, but continues through the early Late Triassic. They are the southwestern United States (Walker, 1938; Ash, 1997, 2000, 2005), Western Europe (Linck, 1949; Roselt, 1954; Grauvogel- Stamm and Kelber, 1996), and the Karoo Basin of South Africa (Anderson and Anderson, 1989; Scott et al., 2004). This worldwide pattern extends into the Mesozoic and is supplemented with deposits from all continents. Herbi- vore Expansion 3 contains the full modern compliment of 7 functional feeding groups (Figs. 1 and 5; Table 1) that provide 95 distinct associations from 56 biotas that repre- sent 33 five-million-year intervals. (Palynivory and sur- face fluid feeding are excluded from Fig. 5; Labandeira, 2000). Notably, unlike the other three major assemblages of plant-insect associations. Herbivore Expansion 3 has the longest persistence in geologic time, lasting for about 245 m.y. from the Middle Triassic to the Recent. It is like- ly that many of the Late Cretaceous to Neogene associa- tions of Herbivore Expansion 4 were laterally transferred from angiosperm hosts onto the gymnospermous hosts of Herbivore Expansion 3, and thus are temporally distinct from the more ancient, Mesozoic associations such as those detailed by Farrell (1998). The dominant host plants of Herbivore Expansion 3 are pteridophytes, crown spermatophytes, and, to a lesser extent, stem spermatophytes, the latter of which were experiencing replacement by more derived gymnosper- mous clades. Herbivorous arthropods comprise principal- ly mites, orthopteroids (Orthoptera, Holophasmatodea), hemipteroids (Lophioneurida, Thysanoptera, Auchenor- rhyncha, Sternorrhyncha) and early or otherwise ple- siomorphic holometabolan clades (such as Archostemata, Nemonychidae, Belidae, Symphyta, Aneuretopsychina (sensu Rasnitsyn and Kozlov, 1991), Nemestrinidae, Archaeolepidae, Micropterygidae and Agathiphagidae). There is a distinctive evolution of major host-plant use by herbivores within Phase 3, beginning with a variety of ginkgoopsids, peltasperms, broadleaved voltzialean (e.g. Heidiphyllum) and podocarpalean (Podocarpaceae + Araucariaceae) conifers, and perhaps pteridophytes that were colonized during the Middle to early Late Triassic by all functional feeding groups (Anderson and Anderson, 1985; Grauvogel-Stamm and Kelber, 1996; Ash, 1997). This diversification was followed during the Jurassic to Early Cretaceous by a shift to a variety of cycads, non- voltzialean conifers, bennettitaleans and pentoxylaleans that were colonized by borers and subordinately by seed predators. Probable culprits for some of these associations include principally beetles (Crepet, 1974), such as the Obrieniidae (Klavins et al., 2005) and Nitidulidae (Nishi- da and Hayashi, 1996). Late Cretaceous to Neogene occurrences emphasize the conifer order Pi?ales (includ- ing "cupressoid" families) in which boring and seed pr?- dation virtually are the only remaining major associations (Fig. 5). The dominant insect herbivore taxon throughout Herbivore Expansion 3 is the Cole?ptera, early Triassic occurrences of which emphasize external leaf mining, external foliage feeding, and especially boring on many broadleaved gymnospermous clades. Subsequently, there was the re-emergence of seed pr?dation, and especially wood boring by saproxylic coleopterans during the Lower Cretaceous on pinaceous conifers (Jarzembowski, 1990; Falder et al., 1998; Ratzel et al., 2001). These clades, par- ticularly the Curculionoidea, were involved in the recolo- nization of xylic substrates in pinaceous conifers and included invasion of cambial tissues. During the Neogene the emergence of galling Diptera, principally Cecidomyi- idae (Labandeira, 2005c), supplemented existing associa- tions.

The Molteno Formation is of Late Triassic (Early Carnian) age that yields compression fossils of diverse plants and insects that geographically span much of the Karoo Basin of South Africa, and has been extensively examined since the late 1960's (Anderson and Anderson, 1983, 1985, 1989, 2003; Scott et al., 2004). This "flag- ship" deposit for Herbivore Expansion 3 contains about 100 anthropogenically unbiased and censused localities representing an estimated 180,000 plant-organ specimens (overwhelmingly leaves and seeds), many of which pro- vide clear and abundant evidence for external foliage feeding, piercing-and-sucking, leaf mining (earliest known occurrence), galling, seed pr?dation, and oviposi- tion (Anderson and Anderson, 1989, 2003; Scott et al., 2004; Labandeira and Anderson, 2005). The major plant- host clades include sphenophytes, filicalean ferns, voltzialean conifers, peltasperms, cycads, subclades of ginkgoopsids that include ginkgoaleans, as well as pen- toxylaleans, and gnetopsids (Anderson and Anderson, 2003; Anderson et al., in press; Hilton and Bateman, 2006). Several major habitats have been reconstructed from the floristic data: Dicroidium riparian forest (two types), Dicroidium woodland, Sphenobaiera woodland, Heidiphyllum thicket, Equisetum marsh, and a iera-Kan- naskoppifolia meadow (Anderson et al., 1998; Anderson and Anderson, 2003). These taxonomic and community- level data indicate a diverse, ecologically heterogeneous ecosystem of several million years duration with exten- sive associations among insect herbivores (Scott et al., 2004; Labandeira and Anderson, 2005). The Molteno For- mation overwhelmingly contains the most diverse associ- ations of any deposit from Herbivore Expansion 3, and was present within 20 m.y. of commencement of the phase. The absence of any subsequent Jurassic or earliest Cretaceous biota with equivalent levels of associations as the Molteno is anomalous, and may be attributable to a poor fossil record or an intrinsic decrease in associational complexity in most ecosystems. Herbivore Expansion 4: IVlid Lower Cretaceous to Recent The most recent and intensively studied phase of arthropod herbivory on vascular plants is Herbivore Expansion 4 (Fig. 6). This phase is synonymous with the angiosperm radiation, and their herbivore associations are predominantly with more apomorphic clades of hemi- pteroid and holometabolous insect orders. The 115 m.y. duration of this phase parallels the last half of Herbivore Expansion 3, although their temporal overlap suggests evolutionary host switching of herbivores to and from plant-host clades of both major expansions. This phase of herbivory contains 7 functional feeding groups represent- ing 262 associations from 89 biotas among 22 five-mil- lion-year intervals. Palynivory and surface fluid feeding are excluded from the listed functional feeding groups (Labandeira, 2000). The primary data documenting Her- bivore Expansion 4 is worldwide in origin, although the greatest concentrations of localities are in Western Europe and North America, primarily because of greater paleon- tological examination rather than a necessarily richer record. The relatively compact but even distribution of taxa and associations during this phase resembles that of Herbivore Expansion 2 of the late Paleozoic rather than that of the earlier and contemporary phase of Herbivore Expansion 3, the latter of which is twice as long-lived and displays a more open matrix of colonized plant-hosts, their herbivores and associations (Figs. 5 to 7). Interpretations of this latter pattern are that it either reflects a real biological signal, or alternatively represents an absence of investiga- tion, particularly for the Jurassic and Early Cretaceous. Twenty-eight orders of angiosperms, including a sig- nificant number of unassignable taxa, constitute the plant hosts for Herbivore Expansion 4. Nine identifiable plant- host orders have the most occurrences (Fig. 6), all of which bear the full or almost full spectrum of functional feeding groups and colonization by the major groups of arthropod herbivores. However, there is a threefold, suc- cessive pattern of insect colonization of families within each of these orders. First, the Laurales (Lauraceae, Chlo- ranthaceae) and Proteales (Platanaceae, Trochoden- draceae) have among the earliest occurrences but also have the most persistent record of colonization, well into the late Neogene. Second, the Saxifragales (Cercidiphyl- laceae, Hamamelidaceae) represents a subsequent, later Cretaceous to mid-Eocene colonization. Third, the remaining six orders?Malpighiales (Malpighiaceae, Euphorbiaceae, Salicaceae), Tabales (Fabaceae sensu lato). Rosales (Rosaceae, Ulmaceae, Celtidaceae, Moraceae), F?gales (Fagaceae, Betulaceae, Juglandaceae, Myricaceae), Sapindales (Sapindaceae, Anacardiaceae, Rutaceae), and Ericales (Ericaceae, Theaceae, Sapotaceae) ?have late Paleocene to Recent patterns of exploitation by arthropod herbivores that are represented by all functional feeding groups. The principal arthropod clades of interacting herbivores are orthopteroids (Orthoptera, Phasmatodea), crown-group hemipteroids (especially Sternorrhyncha and Heteroptera), and princi- pally crown-groups of holometabolous insects (Polypha- ga, Formicidae, Apoidea, Ditrysia, Cyclorrhapha). Notably, the density of functional feeding groups is more intense for Herbivore Expansion 4 than any of the three preceding or contemporaneous phases, and no particular dietary mode is dominant. Additionally, there is more par- titioning of individual plant clades by multiple functional feeding groups and arthropod herbivores.

Curiously, piercing-and-sucking, boring and seed pr?dation are relatively delayed, collec- tively appearing from the later Late Cretaceous to the middle Eocene. These patterns also occur on the unas- signed plant hosts, which could represent a random sam- ple of available plant hosts because of their uncertain and variable taxonomic affinities. The Dakota Fm, the "flagship" biota for the Herbivore Expansion 4, spans the Early to Late Cretaceous bound- ary (late Albian to mid Cenomanian), and encompasses fluvial, deltaic and other terrestrial deposits bordering the east and west sides of the midcontinental seaway that extended from the Arctic Ocean to the Gulf of Mexico (Brenner et al., 2000; Wang, 2002). Sites from Kansas and Nebraska, U.S.A., of late Albian age (~103 Ma) rep- resent coastal swamp, flood plain lake, and ox-bow chan- nel deposits, and contain the earliest, highly diverse, abundant, and well preserved associations with angiosperms during their initial ecological radiation across a variety of lowland environments (Doyle and Hickey, 1976). The Dakota Formation probably has in excess of 300 species of vascular plants (Wang 2002) and many remain undescribed. Plant-insect associations from this important deposit have only recently been investigat- ed (Stephenson, 1991; Scott et al., 1994; Labandeira et al., 1994; Labandeira, 1998b), but contain the earliest occurrences of leaf mines and among the earliest galls and external foliage feeding of any early angiosperm flo- ra. There are virtually no insect body fossils. Synchronicity of Herbivore Expansion Phases with Environmental Change? An obvious issue is whether the temporal distribution of the four herbivore expansion phases (Fig. 7) matches major cycles or otherwise aperiodic intervals of environmental change, such as paleoclimatologic shifts (Fig. 8). Three evi- dent phenomena?greenhouse/icehouse cycles and associat- ed global temperature and fluctuations in both atmospheric O2 and CO2 content?may have possible links with the four phases of herbivore expansion. These possible relationships could be mediated by an effect on underlying vegetation as a resource for arthropod herbivores. Data for establishing a greenhouse/icehouse world are from Frakes et al. (1992) and global temperatures are from Scotese (2005). Atmospheric O2 levels are based on the sediment abundance model (Ber- ner et al., 2000, 2003; Falkowski et al., 2005; see also Lenton, 2001). Atmospheric CO2 levels are inferred from the data of Cornette et al. (2002), based on the ratio of historical CO2 to recent CO2, presented in Berner and Kothavala (2001). These data and their relationship to the four herbi- vore expansion phases are plotted in Fig. 8. Herbivore Expansion 1 occurs from the Late Silurian to the Early Mississippian and is linked to a distinct com- bination of primitive, terrestrial vascular plant and arthro- pod clades. The earlier part of Phase 1 is associated with a greenhouse world that was gradually transformed mid- way to an icehouse world. Additionally, there are initially stable, high O2 levels (22.5% to 25%) during the Late Sil- urian and Early Devonian that subsequently plummet to 13% by the early Late Devonian, compared to present value of 21%. Very elevated but highly fluctuating CO2 levels characterize Phase 1 during the early to middle Devonian, but are followed by a sharp decline to modern levels during the Early Mississippian. After an Early Mississippian hiatus occurring prior to Herbivore Expansion 2 (Ward et al., in press), there is a resurgence of herbivory during the Late Mississippian to the Permo Triassic boundary, similar to the previous phase by occupying a strong greenhouse world. Moreover, Phase 2 occurs during a broad, unimodal distribution of elevated atmospheric O2 levels, starting with relatively depressed concentrations (~ 17 %), reaching an unprecedented peak of 31% during the Early Permian (but see Lenton, 2001), and decreasing to approximately current levels at the Permian- Triassic boundary. This decrease may explain major turnover of Permian plant clades. Atmospheric CO2 was consistently low, comparable to modern levels throughout the Carboniferous and Permian, but experienced a sharp rise during the Triassic, in which there may have been a reorga- nization of the global carbon cycle, and thus resetting the CO2 level at higher values (Berner, 2002). Herbivore Expansion 3, from the Middle Triassic to the Recent, originates during an icehouse world and evolves into the anomalous greenhouse world of the Jurassic to mid Cretaceous, in which there evidently is latitudinal cooling but no polar icecaps. Atmospheric O2 content during Phase 3 reaches its lowest levels of the past 420 m.y., fluctuating from 12.5 to 19% for Early Tri- assic to Middle Jurassic, only to remain flat (17% to 19%) for about a 100 m.y. interval from the Late Jurassic to mid Cretaceous, and rising during the past 50 m.y. to somewhat higher than present levels (23% to 21%). By contrast, atmospheric CO2 levels are elevated at ~ 5% throughout the Triassic (Berner, 2002), followed by a modest increase to higher levels of ~ 9% during the Mid- dle Jurassic, and thenceforth steadily declining to approx- imately the 0.035% preindustrial value of today. Herbivore Expansion 4 occurs from the mid Early Cretaceous to the Recent. Unlike the initial part of Phase Geol?gica Acta, Vol.4, N?4, 2006, 409-438 |423| ce.

LABANDEIRA Plant-Arthropod Associations in Deep Time 3, Phase 4 commences during a greenhouse world, and similarly evolves into a subsequent icehouse world of the Paleogene and Neogene. Unlike Phase 3, however, earlier Phase 4 associations occurred during somewhat depressed but stable O2 levels (18% to 17%), peaking at 23% at 30 Ma (early Oligoc?ne), and then declining but remaining high, reaching levels of 21% O2 today. Atmospheric CO2 levels begin with levels of ~ 7% during the Early Creta- ceous, followed by a steady decline to the preindustrial values of 0.035%. There is limited evidence that these three paleocli- matologic indicators have a rational, predictive combi- nation of a greenhouse/icehouse switch that is linked to values of atmospheric O2 and CO2 (Veizer et al., 2000). However, it is not clear what the proximal cause is between the apparent synchrony of these three paleocli- matologic variables and each of the four herbivore expansion phases (Fig. 8). For example, the role of pale- ogeography remains unknown. It is known, though, that all phases except for Phase 3 began during periods of globally warm temperatures. One possibility is that these atmospheric variables have direct physiologic con- sequences on the selection and turnover of particular plant clades globally, which in turn elicit an association- al response from selected clades of insect herbivores. The Early Cenozoic Thermal Maximum may be more a temporally restricted example of this phenomenon (Wilf et al., 2001). It remains untested whether a unique, com- bined signal of these three (or perhaps other) paleocli- matologic variables is explainable by plant or insect physiology (Lincoln et al., 1993; Graham et al., 1995), and if there is a trigger which resulted in phases of unique or augmented plant-insect associations. Modern studies from the experimental physiology of plants (Gra- ham et al., 1995; Whittaker, 2001) and insects (Bartholomew and Casey, 1977; London, 1988; Nicolas and Sillans, 1989; Hagner-HoUer et al., 2004) that are subjected to fluctuating levels of O2 and CO2 may be relevant. DISCUSSION This compilation and the resulting matrices depicting the ecological associations of host plants and their insect herbivores in the fossil record have provided some basic macroevolutionary patterns. One is the presence of sever- al fixed and persistent functional feeding groups of arthropod herbivores since they originated during the Late Paleozoic, or Triassic in the case of leaf mining. By con- trast, the specific plant and arthropod occupants of these associations are ephemeral in time and space. Member- ship volatility is attributable to clade turnover of plants and their herbivore arthropods, as well as associated fun- gi, and perhaps other interacting organisms. This turnover provides a dynamic context to the evolution of not only associations among specific biotas within each of the four herbivore expansions, but also among each of the four major phases. Additionally, comparisons of the biogeog- raphy of these associations within and among penecon- temporaneous floras of each phase may record the emer- gence and evolutionary radiation of arthropod herbivore clades. A potential example of hemispherical extent would be Gondwanan floras occurring in the same paleo- continental and similar basinal settings from Southern Africa, South America, Australia, India and Antarctica during the end of pteridophyte- and glossopterid dominated Herbivore Expansion 2, and the beginning of more diverse floras that were dominated by ginkgoopsid, voltzialean conifer, cycadophyte and gnetopsid taxa of Herbivore Expansion 3 (Fig. 7). It remains unknown whether similar plant hosts across the broad supercontinent of Gondwana shared similar herbivores in distant basins within each of these two phases, or if they evolved geographically distinc- tive suites of herbivores. A related issue is whether there is persistence of taxonomically conservative lineages of plant hosts and their insect herbivores through time, particularly among the preangiospermous portion of Herbivore Expan- sion 3 to the Recent. Such associational longevity may address whether some associations of today are truly ancient in origin (Farrell, 1998; Powell et al., 1998). FIGURE 7 I Summary of herbivore expansion phases in Phanerozoic continental environments. This figure is a condensation of, from left to right, plant host, plant-insect associational, and inferred insect herbivore patterns provided in figures 3 to 6. At left are major plant-host clades, based on classifications from Kenrick and Crane (1997), Rothwell and Serbet (1994), Judd et al. (1999), Soltis and Soltis (2004), Pryer et al. (2004) and Anderson and Anderson (2003). At right are the dominant arthropod herbivore clades that are based on classifications from Wheeler et al. (2004), Coddington et al. (2004), and Willmann (2004). An exception is the major fungal clade, Prototaxales, at far left. At center are the four, major expansion phases, based on associations from the literature, each of which has a "flagship" biota early in its development (Table 1). They are, from bottom to top: the first is Herbivore Expansion 1, with an axis of the rhyniopsid Rhynia gwynne-vaughanii Yimsim and LANG 1917 containing a stem boring, from the Rhynie Chert (Early Devonian, Early Pragian) of Scotland (Kevan et al., 1975). Second is Herbivore Expansion 2, with a gall in the rhachis tissues of the marattialean fern Psaronius cAase/MORGAN 1959, from the Calhoun Coal (Late Pennsylvanian, Kasimovian) of the Illinois Basin, Illinois, U.S.A. (Labandeira and Phillips, 2002). Third is Herbivore Expansion 3, with external foliage feeding on the matatiellalean ginkgoop- sid Dejerseya lunensis (JOHNSTON) ANDERSON and ANDERSON 1989, from the Molteno Formation (Late Triassic, Carnian) of the Karoo Basin of South Africa (Scott et al., 2004). Last and fourth is Herbivore Expansion 4, with a leaf mine on the protealean (platanoid) Sapindopsis beekeria WANG 2002 from the Dakota Formation (Early Cretaceous, late Albian) of Kansas, U.S.A. (Labandeira et al., 1994; Wang, 2002). The absolute widths of each bubble do not necessarily conform to the absolute diversity of associations, but the relative distributions of widths among the four phases indicate relative importances. At right are major groups of interacting arthropod herbivores, namely clusters of clades that consist of myriapods, mites, and several insect lineages (Labandeira, 1994; Rasnitsyn and Quicke, 2002). Geologic time scale after Gradstein et al. (2004); the two, topmost intervals of time of the Neogene are, from oldest to youngest, Pliocene and Pleistocene.

LABANDEIRA Plant-Arthropod Associations in Deep Time One observation that contextualizes this study involves the overwhelming focus by biologists on associations between angiosperms and holometabolous insects. This sin- gular emphasis involves documentation of numerous associa- tions and co-radiations between these currently hyperdiverse clades (Grimaldi, 1999; Grimaldi and Engel, 2005). This predilection is reasonable, as the overwhelming majority of extant associations available for study involve angiosperms and holometabolous insects from Herbivore Expansion 4. Those that may have survived from Herbivore Expansion 3 occur on conifers, cycads and possibly gnetaleans (Burdick, 1961; Norstog, 1987; Kato and Inoue, 1994) that have geo- graphically unique or relictual distributions. Apparently, there are no extant associations from herbivore Expansions 1 and 2. This "angiocentrism" has clouded our understanding of the deeper history of plant-insect associations by limiting our under- standing of how extinct host-plants and their insect herbivores have associated at deeper macroevolutionary timescales.

LABANDEIRA Plant-Arthropod Associations in Deep Time Current ecological studies of plant-arthropod associa- tions thus focus overwhelmingly on plant-host taxa that are crown spermatophytes (angiosperms) and on insect herbi- vore taxa that are clades of crown-group Holometabola ("phytophagan" beetles, cyclorrhaphan flies, ditrysian moths, and aculeate hymenopterans) and to a lesser extent Hemipteroidea (especially sternorrhynchans and phy- tophagous bugs such as Lygaeidae, Coreidae, and Miridae; Fig. 7). Paleobiologically, this is a rather atypical situation, historically confined to the last fourth of the history of plant-arthropod associations. A retreat to Herbivore Expan- sion 3 would reveal taxa in which the crown spermato- phytes of the time were various gymnospermous clades (several lineages of ginkoopsids, voltzialean and cheirolep- idaceous conifers, peltaspermaleans, pentoxylaleans, ben- nettitaleans) and their arthropod herbivores were more basally positioned clades of holometabolous insects (polyphagan coleopterans, brachyceran flies, aneuretopsy- chid mecopterans, micropterygid to monotrysian lepi- dopterans, symphytan hymenopterans) and hemipteroids (thysanopterans, lophioneurids, sternorrhynchans, auchen- orrhynchans). Would the partitioning and use of plant-host taxa be the same as those for Herbivore Expansion 4? Retreat yet one more phase to that of Herbivore Expansion 2, and the landscape of host plants then consisted of pteri- dophytes (especially marattialean ferns) and stem sper- matophytes (dominantly medullosan and glossopterid pteridosperms and cordaitalean conifers), and the dominant phytophagous clades of arthropod herbivores were mites, apterygotes, paleodictyopteroids and a diverse assemblage of primitive "protorthopteroid" insects. How would the her- bivore component community on a host plant dominant within Phase 2 compare ecologically with a component community of today's Phase 4? More specifically, could the varied associ- ations seen among the Herbivore Expansion 4 be an ecologi- cally similar or repackaged version of those from Herbivore expansions 2 or 3, but with different players? biota of exceptional associational richness that establishes most of the broad limits for subsequent associations and their modifications. This early expression, represented by a "flagship" biota, can be considered ecologically either as a rebound from an earlier event characterized by the demise of the previous herbivore expansion phase, or alternatively the origination of a fundamentally new major clade of host plants and insect herbivores without linkage to a causative environmental perturbation. 3. There are qualitative links between each of the her- bivore expansion phases and three paleoclimatologic vari- ables (greenhouse or icehouse world and atmospheric O2 and CO2 levels). However, no consistent or predictive pat- tern emerges that can explain the specific relationship between these paleoclimatologic variables and a particu- lar herbivore expansion phase. 4. Associations persist through geologic time whereas the occupants of those associations are spatiotemporally constrained. This suggests that the several modes of arthropod feeding on vascular plant tissues are fixed, con- strained possibly by plant tissue architecture and arthro- pod mouthpart structure, and thus displays extensive taxo- nomic and functional convergence. 5. An "angiocentric" focus on Herbivore Expansion 4 (angiosperms vs. crown holometabolans and hemipteroids) has had the effect of de-emphasizing patterns and processes of plant-arthropod associations during the preceding 300 million years. In particular, more understanding of herbivore expansions 1 through 3 is needed to comprehend the full breadth of how vascular plants and their arthropod herbi- vores historically have monopolized life on land. ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS CONCLUSIONS Although this study is only a first attempt to under- stand the broad patterns of plant-arthropod associations in deep time, five conclusions are made. These conclusions can be considered as hypotheses that should engender additional analyses and testing though the gathering of additional data at finer spatiotemporal scales. 1. The fossil record of plant-insect associations can be organized into four, major, temporal phases. Each of these phases has a unique spectrum of major interacting clades of vascular-plant hosts and arthropod (overwhelmingly insect) herbivores. 2. Each herbivore expansion phase is typified by an early I thank Jos?
