Paleoethology : fossilized behaviours in amber [PDF]
When organisms became trapped in sticky resin they usually expired so quickly that they could fossilize in almost lifelike circumstances. Based on frequent description in literature of many examples we propose in this paper a classification of these ...

While primary pollinators have been the focus of most conservation efforts, subordinate or incidental pollinators have been largely overlooked.
