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

Pseudoscorpions, given their resemblance to scorpions, have attracted human attention
since the time of Aristotle, although they are much smaller and lack the sting and elongated …

Amber-bearing deposits are a specific kind of fossil bioaccumulation that preserves
exceptionally well palaeobiological information from the past. The present article discusses …

Living isopods of the suborder Oniscidea (commonly called woodlice) are the only group of
Crustacea almost entirely composed of terrestrial forms. Furthermore, woodlice are …

The phylogenetic relationships of the major lineages of the arachnid order
Pseudoscorpiones are investigated for the first time using molecular sequence data from two …

A significant portion of Mesozoic amber is fully opaque. Biological inclusions in such amber
are invisible even after polishing, leading to potential bias in paleoecological and …

When a vertebrate carcass begins its decay in terrestrial environments, a succession of
different necrophagous arthropod species, mainly insects, are attracted. Trophic aspects of …

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

The first and last occurrences of hexapod families in the fossil record are compiled from
publications up to end-2009. The major features of these data are compared with those of …
