Species-specificity and coevolution of figs and their pollinating wasps
榕-传粉榕小蜂间的专一性与协同进化

Mutualism is one of the most important ecological interactions,with strong influences on almost all levels of biological systems.Their long-term persistence raises many challenging evolutionary questions,especially those involving high-level coevolution and coadaptation.Figs and their pollinating wasps are among the most tightly integrated mutualisms known,and provide a model system for developing and testing theories of coevolution.Initial studies suggested specific coevolution between them,described as th...
