Genomic evidence of prevalent hybridization throughout the evolutionary history of the fig-wasp pollination mutualism [PDF]

open access: yesNature Communications, 2021
Figs and their wasp pollinators are a classic example of coevolution. By assembling and analysing genomes from across the Ficus clade, authors suggest that fig hybridization driven by pollinator host-switching in this obligate pollination system, is more

Life-history strategy, resource dispersion and phylogenetic associations shape dispersal of a fig wasp community [PDF]

open access: yesMovement Ecology, 2017
Background The combined influence of life-history strategy and resource dispersion on dispersal evolution of a biological community, and by extension, on community assemblage, has received sparse attention.

Geographic variation in floral scent reinforces local pollinator attraction in the fig–fig wasp mutualism [PDF]

open access: yesBMC Ecology and Evolution
Background Volatile organic compounds (VOCs) emitted during floral receptivity are crucial for attracting pollinators, especially in brood-site pollination systems. Geographic variation in floral scent can alter host recognition cues, potentially shaping

Local ecological factors, not interference competition, drive the foundress number of two species of fig wasp sharing Ficus septica figs. [PDF]

open access: yesPLoS ONE
Recent studies have challenged assumptions about the classic fig-fig wasp pollination mutualism model, suggesting that further investigation into the receptive phase of fig development is needed.

WASP-54b, WASP-56b and WASP-57b: Three new sub-Jupiter mass planets from SuperWASP [PDF]

open access: yes, 2013
peer reviewedWe present three newly discovered sub-Jupiter mass planets from the SuperWASP survey: WASP-54b is a heavily bloated planet of mass 0.636+0.025-0.024RJ. It orbits a F9 star, evolving off the main sequence, every 3.69 days. Our MCMC fit of the

WASP-52b, WASP-58b, WASP-59b, and WASP-60b: Four new transiting close-in giant planets [PDF]

open access: yes, 2013
We present the discovery of four new transiting hot jupiters, detected mainly from SuperWASP-North and SOPHIE observations. These new planets, WASP-52b, WASP-58b, WASP-59b, and WASP-60b, have orbital periods ranging from 1.7 to 7.9 days, masses between 0.

Range Expansion of Obligate Antagonists but Not Mutualists in a Desert Fig (Ficus petiolaris) [PDF]

open access: yesPlants
Species may respond to climate change by shifting habitats. For species that engage in obligate interactions, however, such range shifts are only possible if the interaction can occur in the extended range, either via dispersal of the original ...

Composition and structure of the fig wasp community in Amazonia [PDF]

open access: yesActa Amazonica, 2015
An understanding of the complex ecological interaction between fig wasps and their host plants in Amazonia requires previous knowledge of their distribution and diversity.

Analysis of Ficus hirta Fig Endosymbionts Diversity and Species Composition

open access: yesDiversity, 2021
Endosymbionts living in plants and insects are pervasive. Ficus (Moraceae) has very special inflorescences (which we also call figs) enclosed like an urn, and such inflorescence is usually parasitized by fig wasps.

The genetic structuring in pollinating wasps of Ficus hispida in continental Asia

open access: yesEcology and Evolution, 2023
The interaction between figs and fig wasps provides a striking example of obligate brood site pollination mutualism. Monoecious figs, constituting independent radiations in each tropical biome, are present in significant proportions worldwide, but in ...
