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.

I told my colleagues that PeerJ is a journal where they need to publish if they want their paper to be published quickly and with the strict peer review expected from a good journal.
