Investigations into stability in the fig/ fig-wasp mutualism [PDF]
, 2010 Fig trees (Ficus, Moraceae) and their pollinating wasps (Chalcidoidea, Agaonidae) are involved in an obligate mutualism where each partner relies on the other in order to reproduce: the pollinating fig wasps are a fig tree’s only pollen disperser ...

Nestmate Recognition in Social Insects: What Does It Mean to Be Chemically Insignificant?
Frontiers in Ecology and Evolution, 2020 Social insects use the blend of hydrocarbons present on their cuticle to efficiently distinguish nestmates from aliens. Intruders must therefore find a strategy to break the recognition code in order to exploit the colony resources. Twenty years ago, the

When Appearance Misleads: The Role of the Entomopathogen Surface in the Relationship with Its Host
Insects, 2020 Currently, potentially harmful insects are controlled mainly by chemical synthetic insecticides, but environmental emergencies strongly require less invasive control techniques. The use of biological insecticides in the form of entomopathogenic organisms
