Fossil-calibrated molecular phylogenies reveal that leaf-mining moths radiated millions of years after their host plants.
Coevolution has been hypothesized as the main driving force for the remarkable diversity of insect-plant associations. Dating of insect and plant phylogenies allows us to test coevolutionary hypotheses and distinguish between the contemporaneous radiation of interacting lineages vs. insect 'hos...
