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 is fossilized resin that preserves biological remains in exceptional detail, study of
which has revolutionized understanding of past terrestrial organisms and habitats from the …

Amber is fossilized tree resin, and inclusions usually comprise terrestrial and, rarely, aquatic
organisms. Marine fossils are extremely rare in Cretaceous and Cenozoic ambers. Here, we …

The phylum Ascomycota is by far the largest group in the fungal kingdom. Ecologically
important mutualistic associations such as mycorrhizae and lichens have evolved in this …

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 …

Geologic deposits containing fossils with remains of non-biomineralized tissues (ie
Konservat-Lagerstätten) provide key insights into ancient organisms and ecosystems. Such …

The fossil record allows a unique glimpse into the evolutionary history of organisms living on
Earth today. We discovered a specimen of the stem group ant† Gerontoformica gracilis …

The fossil record of parasites is limited thus far. A survey of the fossil record shows that some
modes of preservation show a higher potential for the preservation of parasitic remains or …

Time and again, over hundreds of millions of years, environmental disturbances have
caused mass extinctions of animals ranging from reptiles to corals. The anthropogenic loss …

The occurrence of arthropods in amber exclusively from the Cretaceous and Cenozoic is
widely regarded to be a result of the production and preservation of large amounts of tree …
