The obligate pollination mutualism between yuccas (Agavaceae) and yucca moths
(Lepidoptera, Prodoxidae), in which the adult moth pollinates yucca flowers and her progeny …

Coevolutionary studies on plants and plant‐feeding insects have significantly improved our
understanding of the role of niche shifts in the generation of new species. Evolving plant …

This paper comprises Part II of a review of flower visitation and pollination by Diptera
(myiophily or myophily). While Part I examined taxonomic diversity of anthophilous flies …

Inferring phylogenetic relationships among closely related plant species is often difficult due
to the lack of molecular markers exhibiting enough nucleotide variability at this taxonomic …

One approach to understanding how mutualisms function in community settings is to model
well-studied pairwise interactions in the presence of the few species with which they interact …

The distribution of genetic variation and the phylogenetic relationships between 18
populations of the arctic‐alpine plant Trollius europaeus were analysed in three main …

Speciation of plant-feeding insects is typically associated with host-plant shifts, with
subsequent divergent selection and adaptation to the ecological conditions associated with …

Due to increasing problems occurring from massive applications of pesticides, such as
insect resistance to pesticides, the use of biotechnological tools to minimize losses from …

Brood pollination mutualisms—interactions in which specialized insects are both the
pollinators (as adults) and seed predators (as larvae) of their host plants—have been …

Phylogenetic inference can potentially result in a more accurate tree using data from
multiple loci. However, if the loci are incongruent—due to events such as incomplete lineage …
