Further records of biting midges (Diptera: Ceratopogonidae) from Upper Cretaceous Burmese amber (Myanmar)
A new biting midge Archiculicoides andersoni sp. nov. from Upper Cretaceous Burmese amber is described and illustrated. An unknown male of Leptoconops myanmaricus Szadziewski, 2004 is described and an undetermined female of the genus Archiaustroconops and Austroconops in the collection of National Museums Scotland is reported. A key for the...Szadziewski, Ryszard ; Ross, Andrew ; Wojciech, Giłka

The first terrestrial isopod (Crustacea: Isopoda: Oniscidea) from Cretaceous Burmese amber of Myanmar
This paper represents the first formal description of a Cretaceous terrestrial isopod (Oniscidea). This unique specimen, a well preserved female in Burmese amber from Myanmar, is described as Myanmariscus deboiseae gen. nov. sp. nov. It belongs to the clade Synocheta Legrand, 1946 based on the poorly differentiated flagellum of antenna,...Broly, P ; Maillet, S ; Ross, Andrew

The Strawberry Bank Lagerstätte reveals insights into Early Jurassic life
The Strawberry Bank Lagerstätte provides a rich insight into Early Jurassic marine vertebrate life, revealing exquisite anatomical detail of marine reptiles and large pachycormid fishes thanks to exceptional preservation, and especially the uncrushed, 3D nature of the fossils. The site documents a fauna of Early Jurassic nektonic marine animals (five...Williams, Matt ; Benton, M J ; Ross, Andrew

Changes to the fossil record of insects through fifteen years of discovery
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 previous datasets (1993 and 1994). About a third of families (>400) are new to the fossil record since 1994, over...Nicholson, David B ; Ross, Andrew ; Mayhew, Peter J

Insects in Burmese amber
Burmese amber contains the highest diversity of insects out of all the Cretaceous ambers. There are 26 orders and 206 families recorded and 252 described species, of which 211 have been named in the past 15 years. The number of families is about half of all known insect families living...Ross, Andrew

The fauna and flora of the Insect Limestone (late Eocene), Isle of Wight, UK Volume I: introduction, history and geology
The Insect Limestone has long been known as a source of exquisitely preserved insects and other arthropods. It occurs on the north side of the Isle of Wight and is latest Eocene in age. A summary of the history of the study of the Insect Limestone is given, along with...Ross, Andrew ; Self, Anglea

Fossil evidence for key innovations in the evolution of insect diversity
Explaining the taxonomic richness of the insects, comprising over half of all described species, is a major challenge in evolutionary biology. Previously, several evolutionary novelties (key innovations) have been posited to contribute to that richness, including the insect bauplan, wings, wing folding and complete metamorphosis, but evidence over their relative...Nicholson, David B ; Ross, Andrew ; Mayhew, P.

Palaeontology: Chinese amber insects bridge the gap
In the study of fossil insects, Chinese amber from Fushun has been largely overlooked. A new study now reveals a highly diverse biota and provides a wealth of new information on the past Asian insect fauna.Ross, Andrew
