• Parasitism, commensalism, and mutualism: exploring the many shades of symbioses (2008, background): “However, recent studies have shown that the fig and fig-wasp relationship is in constant turmoil with frequent host-switching and conflicts of interests (Machado et al. 2001, Cook & Rasplus 2003, Marussich & Machado 2007).”
• Reconstructing the phylogeny of figs (Ficus, Moraceae) to reveal the history of the fig pollination mutualism (2008, background): “Traditional classifications of Ficus (Table 1; Corner, 1965; Berg and Corner, 2005) and Agaonidae (for example, Wiebes, 1986) were primarily based on morphology and distribution patterns, but evolutionary relationships are more appropriately revealed by DNA sequence analyses (Herre at al., 1996; Jou”
• ATTRACTING ANTAGONISTS: DOES FLORAL NECTAR INCREASE LEAF HERBIVORY? (2004, background): “The first of these involves pollinators with offspring that consume seeds; the best studied are the mutualisms between figs and fig wasps and between yuccas and yucca moths (e.g., Cook and Rasplus 2003, Dufaÿ and Anstett 2003, Pellmyr 2003).”
• Floral scents: their roles in nursery pollination mutualisms (2010, background): “In nursery pollination mutualisms, both parasites (Jaeger et al. 2000; Cook and Rasplus 2003), and predators (Bronstein 1988; Schatz and Hossaert-McKey 2003) have been reported to exploit plant seeds or ovaries, pollinators, associated insects, or both these kinds of insects.”
• Speciation in fig wasps (2010, background): “The fig–pollinator interaction is famous for its degree of reciprocal partner specificity (Wiebes, 1979; Cook & Rasplus, 2003).”
