Global Geographical Patterns on the Historical Species Description Process of Fig Wasps (Agaonidae). [PDF]
Zool StudFig pollinating wasps (Hymenoptera: Chalcidoidea: Agaonidae) constitute a key ecological role since they are the only known pollinators to Ficus (Moraceae), founding complex food webs. Taxonomy of Agaonidae is relatively well known due to their ecological importance and their mutualistic closed relationship with Ficus. However, the spatial and temporal

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.

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.

A molecular phylogeny of the Chalcidoidea (Hymenoptera). [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2011 Chalcidoidea (Hymenoptera) are extremely diverse with more than 23,000 species described and over 500,000 species estimated to exist. This is the first comprehensive phylogenetic analysis of the superfamily based on a molecular analysis of 18S and 28S ...

Premature attraction of pollinators to inaccessible figs of Ficus altissima: a search for ecological and evolutionary consequences. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2014 Adult life spans of only one or two days characterise life cycles of the fig wasps (Agaonidae) that pollinate fig trees (Ficus spp., Moraceae). Selection is expected to favour traits that maximise the value of the timing of encounters between such ...
