Differential effects of nematode infection on pollinating and non‐pollinating fig wasps: Can shared antagonism provide net benefits to a mutualism?

Journal of Animal Ecology, Volume 90, Issue 7, Page 1764-1775, July 2021., 2021
This article is the first to describe the phenomenon of nematode infection of non‐pollinating fig wasp taxa and its possible role in modulating network dynamics in fig–fig wasp communities. Similar facultative mutualisms may be more widespread than currently appreciated in other Arthropod‐rich community assemblages with shared resources in ephemeral ...

Primer registro de la familia Agaonidae (Hymenoptera: Chalcidoidea) en la fauna viviente de la Hispaniola

Novitates Caribaea, 2013
Se registra la presencia de la familia Agaonidae (Hymenoptera: Chalcidoidea) para la República Dominicana en base a ejemplares colectados recientemente. Hasta el momento se han identificado los géneros Pegoscapus Cameron, 1906 y Tetrapus Mayr, 1885.

Effect of local mate competition on fig wasp sex ratios Efeito da competição local por acasalamentos na razão sexual de vespas de figo

Brazilian Journal of Biology, 2006
In fig wasps, mating takes place among the offspring of one or a few foundress mothers inside the fig from which mated females disperse to found new broods. Under these conditions, related males will compete with each other for mating and several studies

Differentiation during fig ontogeny suggests opposing selection by mutualists

Ecology and Evolution, 2020
Dioecy allows separation of female and male functions and therefore facilitates separate co‐evolutionary pathways with pollinators and seed dispersers. In monoecious figs, pollinators' offspring develop inside the syconium by consuming some of the seeds.

[i]Conidames[/i], a new oriental genus of Sycophaginae (Hymenoptera, Agaonidae) associated with [i]Ficus[/i] section Conosycea (Moraceae) [PDF]

, 2015
The sycophagines are strictly associated with two subgenera of Fit to L. (Moraceae), namely,Slycomo77/S and Urostignza. They mostly oviposit through the fig wall and lay their eggs within the fig flowers, being either gall-makers or parasitoids of other ...

Importance of meteorological variables for aeroplankton dispersal in an urban environment [PDF]

, 2016
Passive wind dispersal is one of the major mechanisms through which organisms disperse and colonize new areas. The detailed comprehension of which factors affect this process may help to preserve its efficiency for years to come.

The obligate fig-pollinator family Agaonidae in Germany (Hymenoptera, Chalcidoidea) [PDF]

Deutsche Entomologische Zeitschrift
All native and many cultivated fig plants are pollinated by representatives of the family Agaonidae (fig wasps), which are specialised, secondarily phytophagous relatives of parasitoid wasps that evolved an obligate mutualism with fig trees.

An extreme case of plant-insect co-diversification: figs and fig-pollinating wasps [PDF]

, 2012
It is thought that speciation in phytophagous insects is often due to colonization of novel host plants, because radiations of plant and insect lineages are typically asynchronous.

Occurrence of internally ovipositing non-agaonid wasps and pollination mode of the associated agaonid wasps

Plant Diversity, 2017
Figs (Ficus, Moraceae) and their pollinating fig wasps (Hymenoptera, Agaonidae, Chalcidoidea) are a striking example of obligate mutualism and coevolution.

The Phylosymbiosis Pattern Between the Fig Wasps of the Same Genus and Their Associated Microbiota

Frontiers in Microbiology, 2022
Microbial communities can be critical for many metazoans, which can lead to the observation of phylosymbiosis with phylogenetically related species sharing similar microbial communities.
