3D point cloud based spatio-temporal monitoring of artificial and natural objects
, 2020 This paper aims to provide an overview of the field of 3D point cloud based spatio-temporal monitoring. The focus is on spatio-temporal monitoring of artificial and natural objects with the aid of 3D point clouds acquired by means of multi-sensor ...

The unknown followers: Discovery of a new species of Sycobia Walker (Hymenoptera: Epichrysomallinae) associated with Ficus benjamina L. (Moraceae) in the Neotropical region [PDF]
Journal of Hymenoptera Research, 2018 Biotic invasion in mutualistic communities is of particular interest due to the possible establishment of new relationships with native species. Ficus species are widely cultivated as ornamental plants, and they host specific communities of chalcid wasps

Ecology and Evolution, 2023 Previous genetic studies of pollinator wasps associated with a community of strangler figs (Ficus subgenus Urostigma, section Americana) in Central Panama suggest that the wasp species exhibit a range in host specificity across their host figs. To better

Larger fig wasps are more careful about which figs to enter--with good reason. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2013 Floral longevity reflects a balance between gains in pollinator visitation and the costs of flower maintenance. Because rewards to pollinators change over time, older flowers may be less attractive, reducing the value of extended longevity. Un-pollinated

Frontiers in Ecology and Evolution, 2021 The ancient interaction between figs (Ficus, Moraceae) and their pollinating fig wasps is an unusual example of a mutualism between plants and gall-inducing insects.

Deep mtDNA divergences indicate cryptic species in a fig-pollinating wasp
BMC Evolutionary Biology, 2006 Background Figs and fig-pollinating wasps are obligate mutualists that have coevolved for ca 90 million years. They have radiated together, but do not show strict cospeciation.

Chaos of Wolbachia sequences inside the compact fig syconia of Ficus benjamina (Ficus: moraceae). [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2012 Figs and fig wasps form a peculiar closed community in which the Ficus tree provides a compact syconium (inflorescence) habitat for the lives of a complex assemblage of Chalcidoid insects.

Molecular approaches to identify cryptic species and polymorphic species within a complex community of fig wasps. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2010 Cryptic and polymorphic species can complicate traditional taxonomic research and both of these concerns are common in fig wasp communities. Species identification is very difficult, despite great effort and the ecological importance of fig wasps. Herein,

Fighting injuries, fig exit, and dimorphism in two species of sycoryctine fig wasp (Chalcidoidea, Pteromalidae) [PDF]
Journal of Hymenoptera Research, 2019 Similar to many vertebrate and invertebrate species, many fig wasp species are fighting other members of their species for mates. Fighting between the males of many non-pollinating fig wasp species involves injuries and fatalities.
