Why do fig wasps actively pollinate monoecious figs?
Active pollination, although rare, has been documented in a few pollination mutualisms. Such behaviour can only evolve if it benefits the pollinator in some way. The wasps that pollinate Ficus inflorescences can ...

Open AccessEvolutionary lability of a complex life cycle in the aphid genus Brachycaudus
Most aphid species complete their life cycle on the same set of host-plant species, but some (heteroecious species) alternate between different hosts, migrating from primary (woody) to secondary (herbaceous) h...

Open AccessContrasted evolutionary histories of two Toll-like receptors (Tlr4 and Tlr7) in wild rodents (MURINAE)
In vertebrates, it has been repeatedly demonstrated that genes encoding proteins involved in pathogen-recognition by adaptive immunity (e.g. MHC) are subject to intensive diversifying selection. On the other hand...

Open AccessIs ecological speciation a major trend in aphids? Insights from a molecular phylogeny of the conifer-feeding genus Cinara
In the past decade ecological speciation has been recognized as having an important role in the diversification of plant-feeding insects. Aphids are host-specialised phytophagous insects that mate on their hos...

Open AccessMulti-scale characterization of symbiont diversity in the pea aphid complex through metagenomic approaches
Most metazoans are involved in durable relationships with microbes which can take several forms, from mutualism to parasitism. The advances of NGS technologies and bioinformatics tools have opened opportunitie...

Open AccessPastView: a user-friendly interface to explore ancestral scenarios
Ancestral character states computed from the combination of phylogenetic trees with extrinsic traits are used to decipher evolutionary scenarios in various research fields such as phylogeography, epidemiology,...

Trees and Insects Have Microbiomes: Consequences for Forest Health and Management
Forest research has shown for a long time that microorganisms influence tree-insect interactions, but the complexity of microbial communities, as well as the holobiont nature of both trees and insect herbivore...
