Genomic evidence of prevalent hybridization throughout the evolutionary history of the fig-wasp pollination mutualism
Figs and their wasp pollinators are a classic example of coevolution. By assembling and analysing genomes from across the Ficus clade, authors suggest that fig hybridization driven by pollinator host-switching in this obligate pollination system, is more common than previously thought.
