Ability to gall: The ultimate basis of host specificity in fig wasps? [PDF]

, 2015
1. Fig trees (Ficus spp.) and their host-specific pollinator fig wasps (Agaonidae) are partners in an obligate mutualism. Receptive phase figs release specific volatiles to attract their pollinators, and this is generally effective in preventing ...

Deep mtDNA divergences indicate cryptic species in a fig-pollinating wasp [PDF]

, 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.

Plant Domestication Affects the Oviposition Behavior and Performance of Ganaspis kimorum, a Parasitoid of Drosophila suzukii

Entomologia Experimentalis et Applicata, EarlyView.
In this study, we investigated the effects of blueberry domestication on the oviposition behavior and performance of Ganaspis kimorum, a parasitoid of Drosophila suzukii. Domestication of blueberries reduced the oviposition‐searching behavior of the parasitoid but enhanced parasitoid performance, including offspring performance. Additionally, blueberry

Differential expression of genes associated with phenolic compounds in galls of Quercus castanea induced by Amphibolips michoacaensis

Journal of Plant Interactions, 2019
Secondary metabolites related to plant defense against natural enemies and enzymes involved in their biosynthesis vary during gall development. We assessed the differential gene expression related to defensive metabolites in cynipid wasp galls of Quercus
