INFLUENCE OF FIG SIZE ON POLLINATION BE HAVIOUR OF FIG WASPS (AGAONIDAE: HYMENOPTERA)

, 2007
Fig pollinating wasps lay their eggs in the fig flowers. It is assumed that there is a short span of time during which a fig crop should be pollinated. Hence, pollination of figs is thought to depend on efficiency of the wasps in locating receptive trees.

Integrated metabolome and transcriptome analysis elucidates reproductive functional divergence and regulatory mechanisms underlying the distinct spatial distribution of female flowers in monoecious figs

Scientia Horticulturae
Ficus plants and their pollinating fig wasps have developed a highly specific mutualistic relationship. Figs rely exclusively on their specialized wasps for pollination, while the wasps can only complete their reproductive cycle within the figs ...

Ancient fig wasps indicate at least 34 Myr of stasis in their mutualism with fig trees.

, 2010
Fig wasps and fig trees are mutually dependent, with each of the 800 or so species of fig trees (Ficus, Moraceae) typically pollinated by a single species of fig wasp (Hymenoptera: Agaonidae).

Genomes of Wiebesia fig wasps reveal the adaptation and codiversification in fig-fig wasp mutualism

Abstract Figs and fig wasps represent one of the most intimate examples of plant-pollinator coevolution. As figs diversified into geographically isolated populations, both figs and fig wasps underwent selective pressures driven by local adaptation and coevolution.

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

BMC 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
