The present project is a comparative analysis of the Mexican amber fauna with the recent insect fauna at and around Hymenaea curbaril This floral community is situated in a resin-producing forest on the Pacific coast of southern Mexico, which is very similar to the Mexican amber forest. This exceptional situation enables detailed investigations of the taphonomical biases and filters of the fossilization of insect communities in amber. Other important topics are the stability of faunal communities in the light of changing climatic conditions, especially the aquatic associations and the quantitative as well as qualitative analysis of the persistence or extinction of insect genera and species in Mexico and Central America, which are known from Mexican amber. Finally the project is a contribution to the knowledge of the insect biodiversity of a highly diverse Neotropical Region.

本项目是对墨西哥琥珀动物群与最近在Hymenaea curbaril及其周围的昆虫动物群的比较分析。该植物群落位于墨西哥南部太平洋沿岸的产树脂森林中，与墨西哥琥珀森林非常相似。这种特殊的情况下，使详细调查的埋藏偏见和过滤器的琥珀中的昆虫群落。其他重要的主题是根据不断变化的气候条件，特别是水生生物群落的稳定性，以及从墨西哥琥珀中了解的墨西哥和中美洲昆虫属和物种的持续存在或灭绝的定量和定性分析。最后，该项目是对高度多样化的新热带区昆虫生物多样性知识的贡献。
