TL;DR: Biogeographic analyses indicate that the present-day distribution of fig and pollinator lineages is consistent with a Eurasian origin and subsequent dispersal, rather than with Gondwanan vicariance.

TL;DR: The fig–wasp mutualism exhibits extraordinarily long–term evolutionary stability despite clearly identifiable conflicts of interest between the interactors, which is reflected by the very distinct variations found on the basic mutualistic theme.

TL;DR: Investigation of Ficus life-history trait evolution and fig/fig wasp coadaptation in the context of a well-resolved molecular phylogeny reveals correlations in ostiole shape, stigma morphology, and stamen:ovule ratio that provide evidence for reciprocal adaptations of morphological characters between these mutualistic partners that have interacted over a long evolutionary time.

TL;DR: The genetic structure of the invasive ladybird Harmonia axyridis in its native area was characterized using various population genetic statistics and methods and found that native area of H. axyrides most probably consisted of two geographically distinct genetic clusters located in eastern and western Asia.

TL;DR: It is shown that mode of pollination can confidently be predicted from fig traits only (anther–to–ovule ratio) or from wasp trait only (presence of coxal combs), and that active pollination remains the predominant mode ofpollination in Ficus.
