在琥珀中捕获的生物体的逼真度在所有种类的化石中是独一无二的,并且代表了古生物学和生物学研究不同领域的宝贵资源。琥珀研究中最具挑战性的方面之一是研究与行为相关的特征。在这里,信息素介导的交配行为的间接证据是从5400万年前的印度琥珀中的一种蠓(蠓科)记录下来的。香驼背螺在翅上具有复杂的口袋状结构,类似于某些蛾蝇(双翅目:蝇科)的翅褶和迄今为止仅在蝴蝶和蛾(鳞翅目)中已知的气味器官。我们的研究表明,信息素释放结构的翅膀上已经独立地演变在叮咬蠓,可能是更广泛的化石以及现代昆虫比已知的。
The life-like fidelity of organisms captured in amber is unique among all kinds of fossilization and represents an invaluable source for different fields of palaeontological and biological research. One of the most challenging aspects in amber research is the study of traits related to behaviour. Here, indirect evidence for pheromone-mediated mating behaviour is recorded from a biting midge (Ceratopogonidae) in 54 million-year-old Indian amber. Camptopterohelea odora n. sp. exhibits a complex, pocket shaped structure on the wings, which resembles the wing folds of certain moth flies (Diptera: Psychodidae) and scent organs that are only known from butterflies and moths (Lepidoptera) so far. Our studies suggests that pheromone releasing structures on the wings have evolved independently in biting midges and might be much more widespread in fossil as well as modern insects than known so far.
