An extreme case of plant–insect codiversification: figs and fig-pollinating wasps
It is thought that speciation in phytophagous insects is often due to colonization of novel host
plants, because radiations of plant and insect lineages are typically asynchronous. Recent …

Genomes of the banyan tree and pollinator wasp provide insights into fig-wasp coevolution
Banyan trees are distinguished by their extraordinary aerial roots. The Ficus genus includes
species that have evolved a species-specific mutualism system with wasp pollinators. We …

Structure in plant–animal interaction assemblages
We present a comprehensive approach to detect pattern in assemblages of plant and animal
species linked by interactions such as pollination, frugivory or herbivory. Simple structural …

Echoes of ancient introgression punctuate stable genomic lineages in the evolution of figs
Studies investigating the evolution of flowering plants have long focused on isolating
mechanisms such as pollinator specificity. Some recent studies have proposed a role for …

Convergent evolutionary patterns of heterostyly across angiosperms support the pollination-precision hypothesis
Since the insights by Charles Darwin, heterostyly, a floral polymorphism with morphs
bearing stigmas and anthers at reciprocal heights, has become a model system for the study …

Figs and the diversity of tropical rainforests
RD Harrison - Bioscience, 2005 - academic.oup.com
Ficus (Moraceae) is arguably one of the most important plant genera in lowland tropical
rainforests. A brief review of tropical florulas also demonstrates that Ficus is the only …
