Fig trees and their pollinating fig wasps arose about 75 million years ago in the Cretaceous period. Several other groups of chalcid also utilize figs for larval development, including sycophagines, putative sister group to wasps. Whereas stone amber fossil pollinators are known, no fossils representing non-pollinating wasp have been confirmed previously. Here, we describe first Sycophaginae from c.15–20 Ma Dominican amber, Idarnes thanatos sp. nov. Farache, Rasplus, Pereira Compton, discuss...
Epiphytes are hyper-diverse and one of the frequently undervalued life forms in plant surveys biodiversity inventories. Atlantic Forest, most endangered ecosystems world, have high endemism radiated recently Pliocene. We aimed to (1) compile an extensive Forest data set on vascular, non-vascular plants (including hemiepiphytes), lichen epiphyte species occurrence abundance; (2) describe distribution order indicate future sampling efforts. Our work presents first with information abundance...
Non-pollinating Sycophaginae (Hymenoptera, Chalcidoidea) form small communities within Urostigma and Sycomorus fig trees. The species show differences in galling habits exhibit apterous, winged or dimorphic males. large gall inducers oviposit early syconium development lay few eggs; the more eggs soon after pollination; ostiolar gall-inducers enter to cleptoparasites galls induced by other wasps. systematics of group remains unclear only one phylogeny based on limited sampling has been...
Ficus microcarpa is an Asian fig tree that ornamentally cultivated. The specific pollinator, Eupristina verticillata Waterston, and the non-pollinators Walkerella microcarpae Bouček Philotrypesis emeryi Grandi, have been reported associated to F. in Brazil. In here we report for first time occurrence of Odontofroggatia ishii Wiebes taiwanensis Chen et al Our results suggest P. O. represent a recent influx these wasps into Considering ~20 wasp species are with its native area, novel...
Besides the pollinators (Agaonidae), several chalcidoid lineages of nonpollinating fig wasps are strictly dependent on Ficus (Moraceae) for reproduction. Overall, have not received much consideration. Reliable phylogenetic and taxonomic frameworks lacking most groups, which hampers progress in our understanding evolution functioning wasp communities. Here we focus Anidarnes Bouček (Sycophaginae), a member Neotropical community. We present detailed morphological analysis as well first...
Biotic invasion in mutualistic communities is of particular interest due to the possible establishment new relationships with native species. Ficus species are widely cultivated as ornamental plants, and they host specific chalcid wasps that strictly associated fig inflorescences. Some introduced capable establishing local wasps, wasp may also be concomitantly their plants. Ficusbenjamina L. across world, but not reported outside range. We describe for first time a non-pollinating...
The species of Pseudidarnes are revised, and six described: P. acaudus Farache & Rasplus, sp. n.; astridae badiogeminus cooki kjellbergi laevis n. minerva Girault, 1927 flavicollis Bouček, 1988 redescribed. A key to the is provided as well illustrations for all females known males (except wingless male minerva). We also further discussion on ecology, morphological patterns, host taxonomy. Online dichotomous multi-access interactive LUCID keys available at http://www.figweb.org/.
Sycophaginae is a group of non-pollinating fig wasps considered closely related to the pollinators (Agaoninae, Tetrapusiinae, and Kradibiinae) in most recent phylogenetic analyses. They occur all tropical regions are associated with Ficus subgenera Urostigma Sycomorus . There six described genera Sycophaginae, two native confined Neotropics, namely Idarnes Walker, 1843 Anidarnes Bouček, 1993. Genus divided into three morphologically distinct groups that were proven be monophyletic by...
Relações ecológicas interespecíficas, que resultam em benefício para todos os organismos participantes, são conhecidas como mutualismo. No entanto, tal cooperação abre espaço o surgimento de estratégias oportunistas (ou trapaça), representadas por indivíduos parasitas do mutualismo, recebem um dos parceiros sem oferecer nada troca. A interação figueiras - vespas figo é sistema adequado estudo mutualismo e (parasitas mutualismos). Representantes gênero Ficus (Moraceae) apresentam uma relação...
The sycophagines are strictly associated with two subgenera of Ficus L. (Moraceae), namely Sycomorus and Urostigma. They mostly oviposit through the fig wall lay their eggs within flowers, being either gall-makers or parasitoids other wasps. In this contribution, a new genus Sycophaginae, Conidarnes Farache & Rasplus, gen. n., is described seven species: achterbergi sp. n.; bergi laevis santineloi subtectae sulcata sumatranae n. Illustrations, morphological diagnoses, dichotomous keys...
Abstract The evolution of host specialization and feeding habits in non‐pollinating fig wasps remains poorly understood. This study investigates these dynamics within the wasp genus Idarnes , which exhibits diverse life strategies degrees specificity. We reconstructed phylogeny 57 species using four genetic markers—two mitochondrial, one nuclear ribosomal—and performed ancestral state reconstructions to elucidate specialization. Our analyses reveal that monophagy is with oligophagy evolving...
Paracrias strii Schauff, 1985 and P. ceratophaga Palmieri & Hansson sp. nov. are first record in Brazil both associated with Ceratopus Schoenherr larvae (Coleoptera, Curculionidae) reared from syconia of two species fig-trees. Both diagnosed illustrated. Males described. The association weevil is briefly discussed.
Ficus inflorescences host a species-rich chalcid wasp community, including pollinating fig wasps (Agaonidae: Tetrapusinae, Kradibiinae, and Agaoninae) several species of non-pollinating (NPFW), that show life-history strategies, gall-inducers, kleptoparasites (i. e. inquilines), parasitoids. We analyzed the structure degree specialization community associated with in urbanized areas, agroecosystems, on edge forest fragments state Goiás (Brazil). sampled 34 four native tree species, from...
Encounters between flowers and invertebrates are key events for the functioning of tropical forests. Assessing structure networks composed interactions those partners leads to a better understanding ecosystem effects environmental factors on ecological processes. Gathering such data is, however, costly time-consuming, especially in highly diverse tropics. We aimed provide comprehensive repository available flower-invertebrate interaction information Atlantic Forest, South American forest...
