Conserved community structure and simultaneous divergence events in the fig wasps associated with Ficus benjamina in Australia and China

Popis výsledku v původním jazyce

Tropical insects comprise a large proportion of the world’s diversity, many of these insects pollinate or feed on plants. Not only do these insects provide essential ecosystem services but also offer tractable models for studying widescale biogeographic patterns and the mechanisms generating species level diversity. In our study we used molecular barcoding to identify the species level overlap between the Chinese and Australian insect communities associated with a widespread fig tree. Fig wasp communities include both mutualistic pollinators and a wide range of parasitic wasps. We found that the communities in these regions share the same fig wasp genera but have no species in common, yet they retain a similar ecological structure. We used molecular dating to demonstrate that these communities split, and therefore replicated on each side of the Wallace line, millions of years ago. This conserved community structure suggests long term stability of fig wasp communities in the tropics. Our findings contrast with those from dynamic Eurasian gall wasp communities heavily influenced by periods of glacial retreat.
