| Research Abstract |
For mutual plant-pollinator and antagonistic plant-herbivore interactions in Phyllanthaceae, we explored patterns of coevolution and cospeciation between the partners. Our results suggest that floral volatiles contribute to attraction of specific pollinator moth species, that the moths acquired active pollination behavior once in the Miocene, and experienced four host shifts and subsequent synergetic diversification with host plants, and that the moth's host specificity is higher in the former than the latter interactions.
