Cambay amber preserves a uniquely diverse and early biota of a modern-type of broad-leaf tropical forest, revealing 50 Ma of stasis and change in biological communities of the dipterocarp primary forests that dominate southeastern Asia today.

This paper compares arthropods from a forest very similar to the reconstruction of the Miocene Mexican amber forest, and determines the bias of different trapping methods, including amber, and concludes that the size bias is qualitatively independent of the kind of trap for non–extreme values.

Faunal links among Ceratopogonidae from Cambay amber and contemporaneous amber from Fushun, China, Eocene Baltic amber from Europe, as well as the modern Australasian and the Oriental regions imply that faunal exchange between Europe, Asia and India took place before the formation of Cambay Amber in the early Eocene.

One new genus and three new species of Lygistorrhinidae in early Eocene Cambay amber from India are described, adding further evidence that faunal exchange between Europe/Asia and India took place before the formation of Cambay Amber.

The combination of the head and genital apparatus characters supports the hypothesis that Gujaratomyia and Cladotanytarsus are members of a common group within the subtribe TanyTarsina.
Biting midges (Diptera: Ceratopogonidae) in Fushun amber reveal further biotic links between Asia and Europe during the Eocene

- 2016
Three new species of predatory biting midges from Eocene Fushun amber from China have their closest relatives in European Eocene Baltic amber, which strengthens the hypothesis that dispersal between both regions took place even though the Euro-Asian landmasses were separated by the Turgai Strait during the Eocene.
