An Extreme Case of Plant–Insect Codiversification: Figs and Fig-Pollinating Wasps
TLDR
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.

The complete mitochondrial genomes of two ghost moths, Thitarodes renzhiensis and Thitarodes yunnanensis: the ancestral gene arrangement in Lepidoptera
TLDR
Characterization of the two ghost moth mitogenomes has enriched the knowledge of Lepidoptera mitagenomes and contributed to the understanding of the mechanisms underlying mitogenome evolution, especially gene rearrangements.

The caterpillar fungus, Ophiocordyceps sinensis, genome provides insights into highland adaptation of fungal pathogenicity
TLDR
It is found that O. sinensis exhibits latitude-based population divergence and nature selection for population inhabitation towards higher altitudes on the Qinghai-Tibetan Plateau, and detects signals of positive selection for genes involved in peroxidase and hypoxia to enable its highland adaptation.

Phenology of Ficus racemosa in Xishuangbanna, Southwest China 1
TLDR
Diameter growth rates of syconium were normally higher in early developmental stages than in later stages, and reached a peak coinciding with the female flower phase, and monthly diameter increment of the syconia was primarily affected by average monthly temperature, rather than rainfall or relative humidity.

Genetic Diversity and Taxonomic Implication of Cordyceps sinensis as Revealed by RAPD Markers
TLDR
It is demonstrated that extensive genetic diversity is found among different geographical populations of C. sinensis and the taxonomic status of NP, MP, and SP populations should be that they are different subspecies rather thandifferent species.

Quantitative tests of interaction between pollinating and non‐pollinating fig wasps on dioecious Ficus hispida
Abstract.  1. The interaction between Ficus species and their pollinating wasps (Agaonidae) represents a striking example of a mutualism. Figs also shelter numerous non‐pollinating chalcids that…

The incidence and pattern of copollinator diversification in dioecious and monoecious figs
TLDR
A meta‐analysis of molecular data from pollinators of 119 fig species that includes new data from 15 Asian fig species finds that the incidence of copollinators is not significantly different between monoecious and dioecious Ficus.

New insight into the phylogenetic and biogeographic history of genus Ficus: Vicariance played a relatively minor role compared with ecological opportunity and dispersal
TLDR
Analysis of the phylogenetic and biogeographic history of Ficus using an expanded sample and improved molecular dating techniques suggest that vicariance played a relatively minor role compared with ecological opportunity and dispersal in the diversification of genus Ficus.

The status of species diversity and conservation strategy of bumble bees, a pollination insect in Lancang River Basin of Yunnan, China
TLDR
The species diversity of Bombus at present and 20 years ago was compared and the decreasing rate of endemic bumble bee species and populations is more rapid than that of common and euryecic ones.

Co-occurrence of two Eupristina species on Ficus altissima in Xishuangbanna, SW China
TLDR
This study strongly suggests that E. altissima is an active pollinator, while Eupristina sp.
