传粉细蛾与大戟科植物专性授粉的互惠共生体系

在已知的昆虫与植物所形成的专性授粉互惠共生体系中,榕树—榕小蜂、丝兰—丝兰蛾体系是经典实例,国内外学者已经从不同角度进行了大量的研究,为我们理解植物—传粉者互惠共生体系协同进化的机理和历史积累了宝贵的资料。近些年的研究发现鳞翅目细蛾科头细蛾属昆虫与大戟科植物之间也存在相似的协同进化关系。文章对国内外学者有关传粉细蛾与大戟科植物互惠共生协同进化的研究进行了整理。

Brief review of obligate pollination mutualism between Epicephala moths and Euphorbiaceae trees

The well known obligate pollination mutualism in figs-fig wasps and yuccas-yucca moths is the most classical example between insects and plants. Many documented cases have provided essential steps toward understanding the mechanism of coevolution in flowering plants and their pollinators. The recently discovered Epicephala moths-Euphorbiaceae trees mutualism shared many similar traits with figs-fig wasps and yuccas-yucca moths associations. In this paper, we present a brief review on the investigations of Epicephala moths-Euphorbiaceae trees association.
