Critical review of host specificity and its coevolutionary implications in the fig/fig-wasp mutualism
CA Machado, N Robbins… - Proceedings of the …, 2005 - National Acad Sciences

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 …

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 …
