High similarity between flanking regions of different microsatellites detected within each of two species of Lepidoptera: Parnassius apollo and Euphydryas aurinia
TLDR
Several microsatellite flanking regions showed high similarity to one another among different microsatellites within a same species, but very few similarities were found between species.

Pollination mode in fig wasps: the predictive power of correlated traits
TLDR
It is shown that mode of pollination can confidently be predicted from fig traits only (anther–to–ovule ratio) or from wasp trait only (presence of coxal combs), and that active pollination remains the predominant mode ofpollination in Ficus.

What causes latitudinal gradients in species diversity? Evolutionary processes and ecological constraints on swallowtail biodiversity.
TLDR
The latitudinal diversity gradient (LDG) observed in swallowtail butterflies is caused by climatically driven changes in both clades based on evidence of responses to cooling and warming events, and distinct biogeographical histories constrained by tropical niche conservatism and niche evolution.

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.

Illustrated key to West-Palearctic genera of Pteromalidae (Hymenoptera: Chalcidoidea).
Molecular systematics of the Chalcidoidea using 28S-D2 RDNA.
Population genetic structure of male black grouse (Tetrao tetrix L.) in fragmented vs. continuous landscapes
TLDR
The association of habitat fragmentation with genetic structure of male black grouse Tetrao tetrix and the detection of isolation by distance in the Alps suggests that gene flow among populations does occur and that habitat fragmentation can affect genetic structure in avian species with relatively high dispersal propensities.

A Molecular Phylogeny of the Chalcidoidea (Hymenoptera)
TLDR
This first comprehensive phylogenetic analysis of the superfamily Chalcidoidea based on a molecular analysis of 18S and 28S ribosomal gene regions for 19 families, 72 subfamilies, 343 genera and 649 species finds no impact of alignment method, and few but substantial differences between likelihood and parsimony approaches.

COMPARATIVE COMMUNITY ECOLOGY STUDIES ON OLD WORLD FIGS AND FIG WASPS
TLDR
It is argued that the fig wasps represent an interesting model for studies of community ecology, and concepts developed in parasitoid community ecology could now be tested on this promising model.
