Article Synopsis
- The phylogeny of fig trees has been unclear despite previous sequencing efforts, which hinders the understanding of their evolutionary traits.
- Researchers utilized restriction-site-associated DNA sequencing and morphological data from 70 Ficus species to clarify their relationships, revealing a new monophyletic subgenus and insights into the evolutionary history.
- The study suggests that the ancestral form of fig trees was likely a freestanding tree with active pollination, promoting a return to morphological traits as crucial for understanding their evolution due to potential errors in large molecular datasets.
