Journal of Applied Entomology, Volume 149, Issue 9, Page 1351-1363, November 2025.ABSTRACT Wasps, although less recognised as good pollinators, also feed on nectar and pollinate flowers. Specialised pollination systems, such as orchids that mimic the pheromones of female wasps to attract males, are complex and specific. This interaction occurs with some Thyninnae wasps that also visit flowers to obtain nectar and perform other ...

A catalogue of the family Agaonidae (Hymenoptera, Chalcidoidea) of Eritrea
, 2023 In Eritrea the family Agaonidae is represented by four genera and eight species. The subfamily Agaoninae is known by four species in the genera Elisabethiella GRANDI, 1928 (three species) and Platyscapa MOTSCHOULSKY, 1864 (one species). The subfamily Kradibiinae is represented by four species in the genera Ceratosolen MAYR, 1885 (three species) and ...

Effects of Atmospheric Pollutants on Volatile‐Mediated Insect Ecosystem Services
Global Change Biology, Volume 31, Issue 1, January 2025.This review addresses the current state of knowledge on the effects of air pollutants on volatile organic compound‐mediated insect–plant interactions, which underlie key ecosystem services. Significant knowledge gaps are also identified. While gaseous pollutants reduce the lifetime of individual compounds that act as olfactory cues, gaseous and ...

Plant Biology, Volume 26, Issue 7, Page 1131-1143, December 2024.Two pollination modes (passive and active) have been described based on the variation in floral traits in the genus Ficus (Moraceae), which are related to behaviour of their pollinators (Agaonidae fig wasps). Abstract The diversification of angiosperms has largely been attributed to adaptive radiation of their pollination and mating systems, which are ...

Zoo Biology, Volume 43, Issue 5, Page 405-415, September/October 2024.Zoo‐housed Rhyticeros hornbills are stimulated to breed by additional dietary protein. Pair bonds can take time to establish and nest boxes situated outside may be preferred. Birds seen sitting in close proximity and performing joint vocalizations could be important indicators of a successful pairing.

Invariables and variables in the evolution of plant reproduction
Biological Diversity, Volume 1, Issue 2, Page 75-82, June 2024.Extended nutritional bond spanning two generations of sporophyte. Abstract Land plants have undergone great diversification and evolution in the past 400 million years. Although complex and hard to grasp, the sexual reproductive cycle (SRC) is an important unavoidable process in the evolution of plants.

Spatial Scales of Genetic Structure in Free-Standing and Strangler Figs (Ficus, Moraceae) Inhabiting Neotropical Forests. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2015 Wind-borne pollinating wasps (Agaonidae) can transport fig (Ficus sp., Moraceae) pollen over enormous distances (> 100 km). Because of their extensive breeding areas, Neotropical figs are expected to exhibit weak patterns of genetic structure at local ...
