Diverse Mesozoic thrips carrying pollen during the gymnosperm-to-angiosperm plant-host ecological shift

Summary: Insects are important pollinators, and entomophilous pollination of gymnosperms occurred long before the Cretaceous radiation of angiosperms, but most extant pollination systems involve angiosperms.
