3/ Queering death beyond the human

Whatever, 2021
This is part 3 of 6 of the dossier What do we talk about when we talk about queer death?, edited by M. Petricola. The contributions collected in this article sit at the crossroads between thanatology, critical animal studies, and the posthumanities and ...

Pollinator and host sharing lead to hybridization and introgression in Panamanian free‐standing figs, but not in their pollinator wasps

Ecology and Evolution, Volume 13, Issue 1, January 2023., 2023
Deviations from strict host specificity in obligate pollination mutualisms provide opportunities for interspecific interactions between plant species, pollinator species, or both. We find fig–pollinator wasps to be well‐delimited species, deeply divergent from one another, with no evidence for hybridization or introgression.

Determination of the Levels of Selected Essential Metals in Sycamore (Ficus sycomorus L) Fruit and Seed Using Flame Atomic Absorption Spectrophotometry

Journal of Chemistry, Volume 2023, Issue 1, 2023., 2023
Background. Edible wild fruits are nature’s gift to mankind. Considering the growing need to identify alternative bio‐nutritional sources, some underutilized species of Ficus sycomorus L. of the family Moraceae were evaluated as wild edible fruits to study its nutritive and mineral composition in order to prioritize its edibility for people.

Taxonomic revision and molecular phylogenetics of the Idarnes incertus species-group (Hymenoptera, Agaonidae, Sycophaginae) [PDF]

PeerJ, 2017
Sycophaginae is a group of non-pollinating fig wasps considered closely related to the fig pollinators (Agaoninae, Tetrapusiinae, and Kradibiinae) in the most recent phylogenetic analyses.

Where are the seeds? Lack of floral morphs prevent seed production by the tristylous Pontederia cordata in South Africa

Ecology and Evolution, Volume 12, Issue 10, October 2022., 2022
We aimed to determine what limits seed production of the tristylous Pontederia cordata in South Africa, where it is widespread with impacts on the ecology of wetlands it invades. Floral traits and pollen grain measurements were similar to those reported for short morphed flowers from the native range, and the pollination study confirmed the absence of ...

The overlooked complexity of avian brood parasite–host relationships

Ecology Letters, Volume 25, Issue 8, Page 1889-1904, August 2022., 2022
The relationships between avian brood parasites and their hosts are widely recognised as model systems for studying coevolution. However, while most brood parasites are known to parasitise multiple species of host and hosts are often subject to parasitism by multiple brood parasite species, the examination of multispecies interactions remains rare.

Investigations into stability in the fig/ fig-wasp mutualism [PDF]

, 2010
Fig trees (Ficus, Moraceae) and their pollinating wasps (Chalcidoidea, Agaonidae) are involved in an obligate mutualism where each partner relies on the other in order to reproduce: the pollinating fig wasps are a fig tree’s only pollen disperser ...

Genome‐wide sequence data show no evidence of hybridization and introgression among pollinator wasps associated with a community of Panamanian strangler figs

Molecular Ecology, Volume 31, Issue 7, Page 2106-2123, April 2022., 2022
Abstract The specificity of pollinator host choice influences opportunities for reproductive isolation in their host plants. Similarly, host plants can influence opportunities for reproductive isolation in their pollinators. For example, in the fig and fig wasp mutualism, offspring of fig pollinator wasps mate inside the inflorescence that the mothers ...

A preliminary check-list of the Chalcidoidea (Hymenoptera) of the Maltese Islands [PDF]

, 2016
A list of 147 species of Chalcidoidea from the Maltese Islands is presented 73 of which are here reported for the first time from this territory. They belong to 15 families as follows: Agaonidae (3); Aphelinidae (20 including 3 new records); Azotidae (1 ...
