白垩纪缅甸琥珀中的隐翅虫及其重要生态意义

 白垩纪缅甸琥珀中内含物研究是当前古生物研究的热点之一。隐翅虫形态多样、分布广泛、种类繁多，目前是动物界最大的一个科。近些年，在缅甸琥珀中发现了种类丰富多样的隐翅虫化石，为研究陆地生态系统中的生物多样性的演化提供了重要材料。通过对保存精美的隐翅虫化石的研究，不仅可以揭示隐翅虫科昆虫的起源和演化，而且有助于认识早期陆地生态系统中昆虫与真菌以及昆虫之间的复杂关系，揭示高等真菌和社会性昆虫的早期演化历史。先进的成像技术和分析方法可以帮助人们深入认识缅甸琥珀昆虫的形态功能，理解远古昆虫与周围环境的复杂关系，进而重建远古陆地森林生态系统的整体面貌。

Rove beetles in Cretaceous Burmese amber and their significant ecological implications

The study of bioinclusions in Cretaceous Burmese amber is one of the hotspots of current paleontological researches. Staphylinidae, or rove beetles, with its extraordinary morphological disparity and species diversity, is the largest family of animals. Recent years have witnessed discoveries of a wide variety of staphylinids in Burmese amber, to provide important materials for studying the evolution of biodiversity in terrestrial ecosystems. A study of exceptionally preserved staphylinid fossils not only reveals the origin and the evolution of the family, but also helps to understand the complex relationships between insects and fungi and the insects in early ecosystems, revealing paleodiversity of higher fungi and the early history of social insects. Advanced imaging techniques and analytical methods can be helpful for understanding the morphological functions of Burmese amber insects, to further reveal the complex relationships between ancient insects and their surroundings, and eventually to reconstruct an ancient terrestrial forest ecosystem.
