Chen Gao told reporters that the results of the study showed that the quality of wasps and disseminators are locally adaptable, and the quality of the two may decrease with the increase of latitude.
"The local wasp can recognize and transport foreign carriers, which implies the stability of the olfactory recognition of the wasp.
In addition, the research team cooperated with Peking University, University of Leipzig and other units to study the influence of the special seed diffusion pattern of Stemonaceae on its temporal and spatial distribution patterns.
The differences in the diffusion patterns of the different taxa of Stemone have profoundly affected the biogeographic process of this family.
The wasp has a strong ability to spread, can cross the biogeographic barrier and occupy a wider distribution area.
Chen Gao said that this study provides a new perspective for understanding how invertebrate-mediated diffusion affects plant biogeographic processes and the formation of modern distribution patterns.
