HOST SPECIFICITY OF FIG WASPS (AGAONIDAE) [PDF]

open access: yesEvolution; International Journal of Organic Evolution, 1970
For the development of seeds, the figs (Ficus spp.) are dependent upon small chalcidoid wasps of the family Agaonidae. No other means of pollination of fig flowers is available to the plant, and the wasps cannot develop anywhere except in the gall flowers of the fig.2 There has been considerable difference of opinion as to the degree of host ...

Fig Wasps in Dominican Amber (Hymenoptera: Agaonidae) [PDF]

open access: yesAmerican Museum Novitates, 2006
The fauna of fig wasps (Hymenoptera: Chalcidoidea: Agaonidae: Agaoninae) preserved in Early Miocene (Burdigalian) amber from the Dominican Republic is reported. Three species are described, representing both of the exclusively neotropical genera Tetrapus Mayr and ...

Molecular phylogeny of fig wasps Agaonidae are not monophyletic

Comptes Rendus De L'Académie Des Sciences Série 3, Sciences De La Vie, 1998
According to the present classification, the family Agaonidae contains all fig pollinators as well as five subfamilies of non-pollinating fig wasps. The molecular phylogeny of the family was reconstructed using partial sequences of the 28S rRNA (D1 and D2 domains). Our results show that the family Agaonidae is not monophyletic.

Laying the foundations for a new classification of Agaonidae (Hymenoptera: Chalcidoidea), a multilocus phylogenetic approach

Cladistics, 2010
AbstractA phylogeny of the Agaonidae (Chalcidoidea) in their restricted sense, pollinators ofFicusspecies (Moraceae), is estimated using 4182 nucleotides from six genes, obtained from 101 species representing 19 of the 20 recognized genera, and four outgroups.

Agaonidae

Historically the circumscription of Agaonidae has varied considerably. Currently Agaonidae includes only species that are obligate pollinators (active or passive) of Ficus species (Moraceae), having coevolved with their host figs in an 80-million-year-old mutualism.
