Insect pollination is a prominent type of plant-insect mutualism that can provide clues to the nature of diffuse coevolution. A long-standing question in this field is to what extent the emergence of insect polination caused rapid diversification in the interacting organisms. Recent progress in systematics and paleontology is providing much of the information needed to address this issue.
传粉昆虫是一种突出的植物-昆虫互惠共生类型,可以为扩散协同进化的本质提供线索。该领域的一个长期问题是,传粉昆虫的出现在多大程度上导致了相互作用的生物的快速多样化。系统学和古生物学的最新进展为解决这一问题提供了大量所需的信息。
