Key Points

  • The research aims to investigate the ancient tritrophic interactions involving black mildew and its host plants in the Neogene era.
  • Examined three different compressed angiosperm host leaves from middle-upper Siwalik strata (Pliocene to Early Pleistocene) of Arunachal Pradesh.
  • Analyzed the role of fossil fungicolous fungi as biological stressors in the interaction.
  • Identified fossil evidence of fungicolous fungi associated with black mildew.
  • Support for the presence of tritrophic interactions in the Siwalik forest ecosystem.

Abstract

) on three different compressed angiosperm host leaves from middle-upper Siwalik strata (Pliocene to Early Pleistocene) of Arunachal Pradesh, eastern Himalaya. We suggest that the fossil fungicolous fungi were biological stressors of the black mildew in a potential tritrophic interaction in the tropical palaeoenvironment of middle-upper Siwalik forest of Arunachal Sub-Himalaya.
