Summary

[edit]
Description
English: Original image caption: Heydenius myrmecophila [a mermithid nematode] adjacent to its Linepithema ant host in Dominican amber.
In the text (p. 2) it further says that the amber is 20-30 million years old (Oligocene to Early Miocene) and that “it is assumed that the traumatic events of the ant host entering the resin caused the mermithid to emerge prematurely from an opening in the gaster of the ant.”
Deutsch: Heydenius myrmecophila, ein Nematode aus der Familie Mermithidae, neben seinem Wirt, einer Ameise der Gattung Linepithema, beide eingeschlossen in 20-30 Millionen Jahre (Oligozän oder frühes Miozän) altem Bernstein aus der Dominikanischen Republik. Es ist anzunehmen, dass der Stress, dem die Ameise ausgesetzt war, nachdem sie in das Baumharz geriet, den Nematoden dazu brachte, vor dem Erreichen seiner Reife aus dem Abdomen der Ameise zu fliehen.
