Proposals for treating four species complexes in Ficus subgenus Urostigma section Americanae (Moraceae) [PDF]

Blumea - Biodiversity, Evolution and Biogeography of Plants, 2007
Four species complexes of Ficus subg. Urostigma sect. Americanae (Moraceae) are discussed. Four new combinations are made in Ficus americana Aubl.: subsp. andicola (Standl.) C.C. Berg, subsp. greiffiana (Dugand) C.C. Berg, subsp. guianensis (Desv.) C.C. Berg, and subsp. subapiculata (Miq.) C.C. Berg.

Cryptic diversity in a fig wasp community-morphologically differentiated species are sympatric but cryptic species are parapatric [PDF]

, 2016
A key debate in ecology centres on the relative importance of niche and neutral processes in determining patterns of community assembly with particular focus on whether ecologically similar species with similar functional traits are able to coexist ...

Mature Tree Transplanting: Science Supports Best Management Practice [PDF]

, 2016
Replicated research on transplanting mature trees (trunk diameter >750 mm) is not practical. Instead we must apply the knowledge we have gained from studying smaller trees to maximize success at this larger scale.

Strangler Figs and Their Spirits: How Indigenous Beliefs and Practices Influence an Iban Landscape, West Kalimantan, Indonesia

Biotropica, Volume 57, Issue 6, November 2025.
This study explores how Iban cultural beliefs in Indonesian Borneo influence the protection and distribution of strangler figs, keystone tree species with spiritual significance. Despite agricultural expansion, sacred perceptions lead to the conservation of large figs across both forests and farmland mosaics.

Spatial Stratification of Internally and Externally Non‐Pollinating Fig Wasps and Their Effects on Pollinator and Seed Abundance in Ficus burkei

International Scholarly Research Notices, Volume 2012, Issue 1, 2012., 2012
Fig trees (Ficus spp.) are pollinated by tiny wasps that enter their enclosed inflorescences (syconia). The wasp larvae also consume some fig ovules, which negatively affects seed production. Within syconia, pollinator larvae mature mostly in the inner ovules whereas seeds develop mostly in outer ovules—a stratification pattern that enables mutualism ...

Strangler fig–host tree associations: Insights into the ecology and management of tropical urban green spaces

PLANTS, PEOPLE, PLANET, Volume 7, Issue 1, Page 159-175, January 2025.
The strangler fig is known for its hemiepiphytic growth form and conspicuous strangling behavior in the tropics worldwide. It also plays an important role in providing ecological functions in tropical urban ecosystems. This study reveals strangler figs tend to colonize large trees with suitable microsites in a large tropical botanical garden and cause ...

Chaos of Wolbachia Sequences Inside the Compact Fig Syconia of Ficus benjamina (Ficus: Moraceae) [PDF]

, 2012
Figs and fig wasps form a peculiar closed community in which the Ficus tree provides a compact syconium (inflorescence) habitat for the lives of a complex assemblage of Chalcidoid insects.
