On some Bornean Fig-insects (Agaonidae–Hymenoptera Chalcidoidea).

Bulletin of Entomological Research, 1921
The following notes deal with the Agaonidae represented in a small collection of fig insects formed in 1907–8, in Sarawak, by Mr. J. Hewitt, now Director of the Albany Museum, Grahamstown, South Africa.

The Chalcidoidea bush of life: evolutionary history of a massive radiation of minute wasps

Cladistics, Volume 40, Issue 1, Page 34-63, February 2024.
Abstract Chalcidoidea are mostly parasitoid wasps that include as many as 500 000 estimated species. Capturing phylogenetic signal from such a massive radiation can be daunting. Chalcidoidea is an excellent example of a hyperdiverse group that has remained recalcitrant to phylogenetic resolution.

Asymmetric sharing of pollinator fig wasps between two sympatric dioecious fig trees: a reflection of supply and demand or differences in the size of their figs?

Botanical Studies, 2022
Background Host specificity among pollinator fig wasps (Agaonidae) depends on host plant specific volatile cues, but fig wasps must also pass through a narrow physical barrier (the ostiole) if they are to pollinate and oviposit.

A role for parasites in stabilising the fig-pollinator mutualism.

PLoS Biology, 2008
Mutualisms are interspecific interactions in which both players benefit. Explaining their maintenance is problematic, because cheaters should outcompete cooperative conspecifics, leading to mutualism instability. Monoecious figs (Ficus) are pollinated by

A new species of Ormyrus Westwood (Hymenoptera, Ormyridae) developing in figs of Ficus microcarpa in Europe

European Journal of Taxonomy
Known by many names, the Chinese banyan (Ficus microcarpa L.) is a monoecious plant species originating from south-eastern Asia which has been introduced as an ornamental in numerous areas outside its native range, including the Mediterranean.

How relevant is the relationship between ostiole size and wasp head shape in the Ficus-Agaonidae mutualistic interaction?

Revista Mexicana de Biodiversidad
The mutualism between Ficus species (Moraceae) and their pollinating wasps (Agaonidae) is a widely recognized coevolutionary model. In Ficus species from the Paleotropic, it has been determined that the ostiole acts as a morphological filter that ...

FFW_DB: a dynamic integrated database for investigating the specialized mutualism of figs and fig wasps

Frontiers in Ecology and Evolution
The mutualistic relationship between figs (Ficus, Moraceae) and their obligate pollinating fig wasps (Agaonidae, Hymenoptera) has served as a classic model for studying coevolution and coadaptation for over 150 years.

Observations on the biology and behaviour of Ceratosolen Marchali Mayr (Agaonidae, Chalcidoidea, Hymenoptera)

ENTOMON, 1976
Ceratosolen Marchali Mayr breeds in the gall figs of Ficus hispida L. The females of these species are responsible for cross-pollination in this Ficus. C marchali is protandrous and the apterous, vermiform, and short-lived. Observations on certain aspects of the biology and behaviour of C. marchali are given and discussed.
