A list of all known taxa described or recorded from Burmese amber from the published
literature up to the end of 2018 is given, along with a comprehensive bibliography. The …

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 rapid Cretaceous diversification of flowering plants remains Darwin's 'abominable
mystery'despite numerous fossil flowers discovered in recent years. Wildfires were frequent …

It is generally assumed that Cretaceous stem ants were obligately eusocial, because of the
presence of wingless adult females, yet the available evidence is ambiguous. Here, we …

Three new genera and species of Cenomanian Cixiidae from Kachin amber (Myanmar) are
described: Acrotiara Bourgoin & Luo gen. nov., type species A. multigranulata Luo & …

The Cretaceous fossil record of amber provides a variety of evidence that is essential for
greater understanding of early pollination strategies. Here, we describe four pieces of ca. 99 …

Amber fossils provide snapshots of the anatomy, biology, and ecology of extinct organisms
that are otherwise inaccessible. The best-known fossils in amber are terrestrial arthropods …

Despite the crucial importance of flower-visiting insects in modern ecosystems, there is little
fossil evidence on the origins of angiosperm pollination. Most reports of pollination in the …

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 …

Angiosperms and their insect pollinators form a foundational symbiosis, evidence for which
from the Cretaceous is mostly indirect, based on fossils of insect taxa that today are …
