Amber is fossilised plant resin. It can be used to provide insights into the terrestrial
conditions at the time the original resin was exuded. Amber research thus can inform many …

Amber from northern Myanmar has been commercially exploited for millennia, and it also
preserves the most diverse palaeobiota among the worlds' seven major deposits of …

Fossils from the mid-Cretaceous (c. 99 Ma) Myanmar (Burma) amber include all extant
orders of Arachnida, including the earliest representatives of Schizomida, Parasitiformes …

Deposits of fossilized tree resins, or amber, occur throughout the world and range in age
from Carboniferous to Holocene, produced by myriads of vascular plants. Small organisms …

Сomparative analysis of arthropod assemblages found in Cretaceous fossil resins is
provided. Arthropod-bearing Cretaceous resin sites are reviewed, and a list of arthropod …

Insect parasites and parasitoids are a major component of terrestrial food webs. For
parasitoids, categorization is whether feeding activity is located inside or outside its host, if …

Estimating the partial pressure of atmospheric oxygen (pO 2) in the geological past has
been challenging because of the lack of reliable proxies. Here we develop a technique to …

The amber fossil record provides a distinctive, 320-million-year-old taphonomic mode
documenting gymnosperm, and later, angiosperm, resin-producing taxa. Resins and their …

Fossils provide unique opportunity to understand the tempo and mode of evolution and are
essential for modeling the history of lineage diversification. Here, we interrogate the …

A remarkable diversity of new nonempidoid orthorrhaphan flies from the mid-Cretaceous of
Myanmar (Late Albian–Early Cenomanian, ca. 99 Ma) is presented, including 28 species (all …
