Has pollination mode shaped the evolution of ficus pollen? [PDF]
BACKGROUND: The extent to which co-evolutionary processes shape morphological traits is one of the most fascinating topics in evolutionary biology.

Animal mitochondrial genomes usually exhibit conserved gene arrangement across major lineages, while those in the Hymenoptera are known to possess frequent rearrangements, as are those of several other orders of insects.

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.

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

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

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

Polinização e outras interações bióticas em sicônios de Ficus eximia Schott (Moraceae) [PDF]
During the period from 1992 to 1997, interactions of several organisms and Ficus eximia figs, a monoecious species, were studied in plants located in Campinas/SP and Londrina/PR (Brazil).
