摘要
榕树与传粉榕小蜂是传粉互利共生和协同进化的经典范例之一,分子钟和化石记录显示榕树与榕小蜂共生体系的起源大约在8700万年前。共生体系是如何维持如此漫长的年代?围绕这一问题国内外学者已经展开了较为丰富的研究,本文综述了国内外关于共生体系的起源与维持的主要研究成果,旨在讨论该热点领域研究进展,促进该领域的研究深入开展。
Figs (Ficus Moraceae) and their associated fig -pollinating wasps are a textbook exampie of obligate pollinating mutualism and an extreme case of coevolution. Molecular clock calibrations and fossil records suggested that this bizarre mutualism originated at about 87.5MYA ago. How has this mutualism maintained in so long time? This is a research hotspot and has attracted so much attention in the past few years. Recent contributions to this question were reviewed here to prornote the further studies in the future.
