Extraction of inclusions from (sub)fossil resins, with description of a new species of stingless bee (Hymenoptera: Apidae: Meliponini) in Quaternary Colombian copal
(2013-05-09)Amber and copal are renowned for preserving insects and other inclusions with lifelike fidelity. However, due to their frozen-in-time nature, they are taxonomically subequal to Recent insects, which commonly require ... -
A field-based analysis of the accuracy of niche models applied to the fossil record
