Interesting paper... I'm not an expert in this field, so I might be wrong. But aren't insects larger in the Carboniferous? I assume larger insects would have larger mouthparts that can deal more damage to leaf networks. I wonder if we see the advantage of having this sort of reticulated venation decrease with larger damage areas
