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 …

Originating most likely in the early Cretaceous, ants have diversified to become the world's
most successful eusocial insects, occupying most terrestrial ecosystems and acquiring a …

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 …

Chalcidoidea (Hymenoptera) is extremely diverse with an estimated 500 000 species. We
present the first phylogenetic analysis of the superfamily based on both morphological and …

Unraveling the macroevolutionary history of bryophytes, which arose soon after the origin of
land plants but exhibit substantially lower species richness than the more recently derived …

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

Aquatic insects are the dominant invertebrate fauna in most freshwater ecosystems, and
figure prominently in the work of a diverse range of researchers, students, and …

Chalcidoidea (Hymenoptera) are extremely diverse with more than 23,000 species
described and over 500,000 species estimated to exist. This is the first comprehensive …

Establishing the dates for the origin and main diversification events in the phylogeny of
Ascomycota is among the most crucial remaining goals in understanding the evolution of …

Taxa within diverse lineages select and transport exogenous materials for the purposes of
camouflage. This adaptive behavior also occurs in insects, most famously in green lacewing …
