Rising temperatures threaten pollinators of fig trees-Keystone resources of tropical forests. [PDF]
Ecol Evol, 2022 We determine the effect of the predicted temperature increases on the lifespan of five different Neotropical fig wasps. All tested pollinator wasp species had a significantly shorter lifespan in 30, 32, 34 and 36°C compared to the current diurnal mean temperature of 26°C.

Taxonomy, systematics, and biogeography of Ficus subsection Urostigma (Moraceae) [PDF]
, 2014 Five research methods were used in Taxonomy, Systematics, and Biogeography of Ficus subsection Urostigma(Moraceae); Morphological characters, leaf anatomy, pollen morphology, molecular phylogeny, and historical biogeography. Seven topics are the result: 1) A revision was made based on morphology in which 27 species are recognized, but which also showed

Pollinator and host sharing lead to hybridization and introgression in Panamanian free-standing figs, but not in their pollinator wasps. [PDF]
Ecol Evol, 2023 Deviations from strict host specificity in obligate pollination mutualisms provide opportunities for interspecific interactions between plant species, pollinator species, or both. We find fig–pollinator wasps to be well‐delimited species, deeply divergent from one another, with no evidence for hybridization or introgression.

Sources of variation in plant chemical diversity: Lessons from Malagasy Ficus. [PDF]
Am J BotAbstract Premise Plants produce a tremendous variety of secondary compounds that are crucial to interspecific and intraspecific interactions and for adaptation to environmental changes. This chemical diversity has been attributed to multiple factors, including interactions with herbivores or pollinators, tissue‐specific needs, and evolutionary ...

Genome-wide sequence data show no evidence of hybridization and introgression among pollinator wasps associated with a community of Panamanian strangler figs. [PDF]
Mol Ecol, 2022 Abstract The specificity of pollinator host choice influences opportunities for reproductive isolation in their host plants. Similarly, host plants can influence opportunities for reproductive isolation in their pollinators. For example, in the fig and fig wasp mutualism, offspring of fig pollinator wasps mate inside the inflorescence that the mothers ...

Identifying Priority Habitats for Dung Beetle Conservation: Taxonomic and Functional Responses Across a Land-Use Disturbance Gradient. [PDF]
Ecol EvolAnthropogenic land‐use change and resource exploitation are driving declines in dung beetle communities, highlighting the need to identify priority habitats and species for conservation. This study assessed taxonomic and functional diversity of dung beetles across a land‐use disturbance gradient and different dung types using dung‐baited pitfall traps.
