Between‐species facilitation by male fig wasps in shared figs [PDF]

Ecological Entomology, 2015
1. Facilitation is recorded from diverse plant–insect interactions, including pollination and herbivory. 2. The significance of facilitation resulting from the behavior of males of multiple fig wasp species inside figs was investigated.

Spatial heterogeneity and host repression in fig-fig wasp mutualism [PDF]

Science China Life Sciences, 2015
It is generally believed that physical heterogeneity in common resource or evolutionary restraint can sufficiently prevent direct conflict between host and symbionts in mutualism systems. Our data on fig/fig wasp reciprocal mutualism (Ficus racemosa), however, show that structural barriers of female flowers or genetic constraints of pollinators ...

Molecular dating and biogeography of fig-pollinating wasps

, 2009
Figs and fig-pollinating wasps are obligate mutualists that have coevolved for over 60 million years. But when and where did pollinating fig wasps (Agaonidae) originate?

Image_6_Diversity and metabolic potentials of microbial communities associated with pollinator and cheater fig wasps in fig-fig wasp mutualism system.JPEG

, 2022
Microbial symbionts can influence a myriad of insect behavioral and physiological traits. However, how microbial communities may shape or be shaped by insect interactions with plants and neighboring species remains underexplored.

An Extreme Case of Plant–Insect Codiversification: Figs and Fig-Pollinating Wasps [PDF]

Systematic Biology, 2012
Se cree que la especiación en insectos fitófagos a menudo se debe a la colonización de nuevas plantas huésped, porque las radiaciones de los linajes de plantas e insectos son típicamente asíncronas. Las recientes comparaciones filogenéticas han respaldado este modelo de diversificación tanto para insectos herbívoros como para polinizadores ...

The obligate fig-pollinator family Agaonidae in Germany (Hymenoptera, Chalcidoidea) [PDF]

Deutsche Entomologische Zeitschrift
All native and many cultivated fig plants are pollinated by representatives of the family Agaonidae (fig wasps), which are specialised, secondarily phytophagous relatives of parasitoid wasps that evolved an obligate mutualism with fig trees.

Non-pollinating wasps distort the sex ratio of pollinating fig wasps

, 2015
In fig wasps, mating occurs among the offspring of one or a few foundress mothers within the fig, from which the mated females disperse to found new broods.

Diversification and spatial structuring in the mutualism between Ficus septica and its pollinating wasps in insular South East Asia

BMC Evolutionary Biology, 2017
Background Interspecific interactions have long been assumed to play an important role in diversification. Mutualistic interactions, such as nursery pollination mutualisms, have been proposed as good candidates for diversification through co-speciation ...

Characterization of microsatellite markers for Sycoscapter nonpollinating fig wasps

, 2009
We isolated 18 microsatellites from Sycoscapter australis, a nonpollinating fig wasp that develops in figs of Ficus macrophylla, and assessed their variability in 20 wasps.
