The genus Alfonsiella Waterston (Hymenoptera, Chalcidoidea, Agaonidae)
, 1972 This paper is a tribute to Prof. Dr. L. D. Brongersma, in remembrance of the years I served as his deputy in the Rijksmuseum van Natuurlijke Historie. The genus Alfonsiella was described by Waterston (1920) for A.

The genetic structuring in pollinating wasps of Ficus hispida in continental Asia. [PDF]
Ecol Evol, 2023 In the Asian flora, there are usually more dioecious Ficus species than monoecious ones. However, the reproductive success of figs and fig wasps largely depends on the fig wasp dispersal process. Population structuring by colonization of new niches could be the most important mechanism of species radiation in continental areas. Abstract The interaction

Chromosomes of Eupristina verticillata Waterston, 1921 and an overview of known karyotypes of chalcid wasps of the family Agaonidae (Hymenoptera) [PDF]
Journal of Hymenoptera Research, 2019 The karyotype of Eupristina verticillata Waterston, 1921 (Agaonidae) from Italy was studied for the first time using chromosome morphometrics. The present study showed that this species has n = 6 and 2n = 12, with five larger metacentrics and a smaller ...

Polyembryonic or Apomictic Seeds Enable Fig Trees to Establish New Populations Without Their Pollinating Wasps, a Case Observation in <i>Ficus gasparriniana</i>. [PDF]
Ecol EvolDevelopment of apomictic adventitious embry o in Ficus gasparriniana. Apomixis is a key reproductive strategy for F. gasparriniana, especially when pollination by fig wasps is limited. In the absence of pollination, F. gasparriniana produces seeds through adventitious embryos formed within the nucellar tissue, which is accompanied by polyploidization ...

Naturalization of the bodhi fig tree (Ficus religiosa L. - Moraceae) in Brazil
Bioscience Journal, 2017 Ficus religiosa L. is one of the most valued cultivated ornamental fig trees. Native to Asia, it is known as Bodhi tree. Since fig trees are involved in a highly species-specific pollination mutualism with agaonid wasps, exotic fig species usually fail to

Large-Scale Integrative Taxonomy of the Smallest Insects Reveals Astonishing Temperate Diversity (Hymenoptera: Chalcidoidea: Mymaridae). [PDF]
Mol EcolABSTRACT Fairyflies (Hymenoptera: Chalcidoidea: Mymaridae) are a diverse but taxonomically understudied group of parasitoid wasps that attack the eggs of other insects. Being among the very smallest of all insects, they are often ignored in biodiversity surveys despite being one of the most abundant microhymenoptera in many habitats.
