Insect frass in Baltic amber
Inclusions of wood debris loosened from pine-like trees are abundant in Baltic amber of Eocene and Oligocene age. The possibilities to find insect frass and excrement among wood debris are outlined and some examples are given. Comparison with the frass and excrement produced by present-day insects provide a possibility to identify insects even though their fossils are lacking. This information ...
متن کاملAn ant-associated mesostigmatid mite in Baltic amber.
Fossil mesostigmatid mites (Acari: Parasitiformes: Mesostigmata) are extremely rare, and specimens from only nine families, including four named species, have been described so far. A new record of Myrmozercon sp. described here from Eocene (ca 44-49 Myr) Baltic amber represents the first-and so far only-fossil example of the derived, extant family Laelapidae. Significantly, modern species of t...
متن کاملNew taxa of Tanyderidae (Diptera) from Eocene Baltic amber.
Macrochile hornei sp. nov. from Baltic amber (Upper Eocene) is described and illustrated. Podemacrochile gen. nov. is described with Podemacrochile baltica (Podenas, 1997) as type species. A key to the genera and species of Tanyderidae known from Baltic amber is presented.
متن کاملA new proposal concerning the botanical origin of Baltic amber.
Baltic amber constitutes the largest known deposit of fossil plant resin and the richest repository of fossil insects of any age. Despite a remarkable legacy of archaeological, geochemical and palaeobiological investigation, the botanical origin of this exceptional resource remains controversial. Here, we use taxonomically explicit applications of solid-state Fourier-transform infrared (FTIR) m...
متن کاملNew taxa of Baltic amber false darkling beetles (Coleoptera: Melandryidae)
The extinct representatives of family are known from the Upper Cretaceous (the Turonian: Pseudocuphosis tristis Nikitsky, 2002 and Archaeserropalpus cretaceus Nikitsky, 2002; the Cognac-Santonian: Archaeoxylita zherichini Nikitsky, 1977). Melandryid beetles are also known from Eocene ambers of Europe. One species was described from Ukrainian amber (Orchesia rasnitzyni Nikitsky, 2011). At least ...
