How relevant is the relationship between ostiole size and wasp head shape in the Ficus-Agaonidae mutualistic interaction?

Revista Mexicana de Biodiversidad
The mutualism between Ficus species (Moraceae) and their pollinating wasps (Agaonidae) is a widely recognized coevolutionary model. In Ficus species from the Paleotropic, it has been determined that the ostiole acts as a morphological filter that ...

Simultaneous pollinator occurence (Hymenoptera, Agaoninae) in a threatened species: Ficus mexiae Standley (Moraceae)

Brazilian Journal of Biology
In Brazil, Ficus mexiae is classified as Vulnerable under IUCN criteria, and to date there is only one report on pollinator activity for this species.

High β‐diversity in fig wasp communities driven by species turnover in widely distributed Neotropical fig trees

Oikos, Volume 2026, Issue 2, February 2026.
Wasp communities associated with fig trees, Ficus spp., are a model system to investigate how local and regional processes shape biodiversity across large geographical ranges. We investigated the β‐diversity of fig wasp assemblages associated with three widely distributed Neotropical fig species – F. citrifolia, F. obtusifolia and F. pertusa – using 27

Putting the puzzle together: the relationship between floral characters and pollinator morphology determines pollination mode in the fig–fig wasp mutualism

Plant Biology, Volume 26, Issue 7, Page 1131-1143, December 2024.
Two pollination modes (passive and active) have been described based on the variation in floral traits in the genus Ficus (Moraceae), which are related to behaviour of their pollinators (Agaonidae fig wasps). Abstract The diversification of angiosperms has largely been attributed to adaptive radiation of their pollination and mating systems, which are ...

Species-diagnostic microsatellite loci for the fig wasp genus Pegoscapus

, 2002
To obtain tools for the estimation of inbreeding and assignment of offspring to matrilines, we developed 13 microsatellite loci from the fig wasps that pollinate Ficus obtusifolia. Based on morphological studies, it was thought that a single species (Pegoscapus hoffmeyer) pollinated this fig.
