Taxonomic revision and molecular phylogenetics of the Idarnes incertus species-group

Idarnes incertus

January 5, 2017

Taxonomic revision and molecular phylogenetics of the Idarnes incertus species-group

Co-evolution of figs and parastitic wasps has been studied for years. However, new research published in PeerJ has combined a traditional taxonomic approach with current molecular tools to significantly add to our understanding of the fig-wasp mutualism.
