Abstract
Lebensspuren (Schadbilder) holzzerstörender Organismen an fossilen Holzresten aus dem Untermiozän von Lesbos (Griechenland) werden beschrieben. Von pflanzlichen Holzzerstörern konnten Bakterien, imperfekte Pilze, Weiß- und Braunfäulepilze und in das Holz eingewachsene Wurzeln nachgewiesen werden. Von tierischen Holzzerstörern wurden Termitenfraß, durch Pflanzensauger (Homopteren) verursachtes Wundgewebe, Larvenfraß der Kambium-Minierfliege Palaeophytobia (Agromyzidae, Diptera) und Fraßgänge mit Koprolithen verschiedener Käferarten (Anobiiden?) und Milben (Acari) gefunden. Außerdem werden durch Kristallisationsvorgänge im Holz verursachte kugelförmige Gebilde beschrieben.
Traces of wood destroying organisms on fossil wood from the Lower Miocene of Lesbos (Greece) are described. Among nonanimal wood destroyers evidence is presented of bacteria, Fungi imperfecti, whiterot and brownrot fungus and penetrating roots. Animal wood destroyers include termite feeding traces, wound tissues produced by plant suckers (Homoptera), larval feeding traces of the cambium miner Palaeophytobia (Agromyzidae, Diptera) and feeding channels, with coprolites, of several beetle species (Anobiidae?) and Mites (Acari). In addition globe-like structures produced in the wood through crystallization processes are described.
