Mutualists with attitude: coevolving fig wasps and figs (2003, background): “Interestingly, sister species of Apocryptophagous exploiting the same host Ficus have significantly larger differences in ovipositor length (an index of the syconium size when attacked [23, 41 ]) than do sister species on different host plants.”
Speciation in fig wasps (2010, background): “The interaction between figs and their pollinators is the core of the system, but each Ficus species also hosts a community of up to 30 non-pollinating fig wasp (NPFW) species (Bouček et al., 1981; Bronstein, 1991; Compton et al., 1994; West et al., 1996; Kerdelhue et al., 2000; Cook & Rasplus, 2003”
Floral scents: their roles in nursery pollination mutualisms (2010, background): “Within the fig, niche space could be partitioned via the existence of different subsets of flowers, by differences in timing of oviposition, or both (Kerdelhué et al. 2000; Proffit et al. 2008).”
