Codivergence and multiple host species use by fig wasp populations of the Ficus pollination mutualism

BMC Evolutionary Biology, 2012
Background The interaction between insects and plants takes myriad forms in the generation of spectacular diversity. In this association a species host range is fundamental and often measured using an estimate of phylogenetic concordance between species.

A window on exoplanet dynamical histories: Rossiter-McLaughlin observations of WASP-13b and WASP-32b [PDF]

, 2014
We present Rossiter-McLaughlin observations of WASP-13b and WASP-32b and determine the sky-projected angle between the normal of the planetary orbit and the stellar rotation axis (λ).

Ant Fauna of Fig Orchards of the Estahban Area with the Report of Tapinoma Karavaievi (Hymenoptera: Formicidae) as a Predator of Fig Pollinator Wasps [PDF]

تاکسونومی و بیوسیستماتیک, 2021
The fig fruit (Ficus carica L.), as an important agricultural product, is consumed fresh or dried worldwide. Fars and the Estahban county, with more than 95% of fig orchards, are the most important edible fig-producing areas in Iran.

New Species Assemblages Disrupt Obligatory Mutualisms Between Figs and Their Pollinators

Frontiers in Ecology and Evolution, 2020
The reliance of each fig species on its specific pollinator wasp, and vice versa, is the archetype of both obligatory mutualism and coevolution. Pollinator sharing between host fig species is only known to occur among closely related sympatric species ...

Analysis of Spin-Orbit Alignment in the WASP-32, WASP-38, and HAT-P-27/WASP-40 Systems [PDF]

, 2012
peer reviewedWe present measurements of the spin-orbit alignment angle, λ, for the hot Jupiter systems WASP-32, WASP-38, and HAT-P-27/WASP-40, based on data obtained using the HARPS spectrograph.

Pollinator sharing, copollination, and speciation by host shifting among six closely related dioecious fig species

Communications Biology, 2022
Phylogenetic and population genetic analyses reveal mechanisms of pollinator sharing, copollination and speciation by host-shift in fig-wasp mutualism.

Investigations into stability in the fig/fig-wasp mutualism [PDF]

, 2010
Fig trees (Ficus, Moraceae) and their pollinating wasps (Chalcidoidea, Agaonidae) are involved in an obligate mutualism where each partner relies on the other in order to reproduce: the pollinating fig wasps are a fig tree’s only pollen disperser whilst ...

More examples of breakdown the 1:1 partner specificity between figs and fig wasps

Botanical Studies, 2021
Background The obligate mutualism between fig trees (Ficus, Moraceae) and pollinating fig wasps (Agaonidae) is a model system for studying co-evolution due to its perceived extreme specificity, but recent studies have reported a number of examples of ...

Genome-Wide Identification and Analysis of Lipases in Fig Wasps (Chalcidoidea, Hymenoptera)

Insects, 2022
Lipases are the main enzymes involved in lipid metabolism. However, the characteristics of lipases in insects were scarcely investigated. Here, we screened the recently sequenced genomes of 12 fig wasp species consisting of seven pollinator fig wasps ...

Post-translational modification and regulation of human Spir protein [PDF]

, 2011
Spir proteins are the primodial members of the emerging group of actin nucleation factors, which initiate actin polymerization by binding monomeric actin to one or multiple Wiskott-Aldrich Syndrome protein (WASp) homology-2 domains.
